Background and Context
The global sourcing market witnessed steady growth in 2013 to reach a size of ~US$137 billion. India accounts for around 50% of the share of the industry. The offshore services market in India was pioneered by GICs such as Texas Instruments and GE in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The 10-year period, from 2002 to 2011, witnessed rapid growth in this segment, with a large number of companies setting up / expanding their GICs.
While companies in their quest to diversify have also explored and successfully established GIC operations in China, Philippines, Rest of Asia (RoA), Central & Eastern Europe (CEE), and Latin America, India continues to remain the dominant geography for setting up GICs.
