India’s nation-wide strike threatens status as outsourcing powerhouse

A 4am Monday morning pick-up for work sounds like most people’s worst nightmare. But this is what many Indian IT companies and call centre firms had to resort to yesterday to ensure their employees got to work on time because of the country-wide BJP and Left party led shutdown. Determined to ensure business as usual for its foreign clients despite the strike against fuel deregulation, Tata Consultancy Services, India’s largest IT services exporter, arranged for buses to collect its employees. IT firms, Wipro and Infosys, closed their Bangalore offices for the day in anticipation of the shutdown in the BJP ruled state of Karnataka, realising the difficulties their employees would face in getting to work. Many firms moved critical operations to centres in other cities to ensure that important client services would not be affected by shutdown.
