TLDR of the article is American / European companies creating in-house Indian offices and moving away from "consultancies". I whole heartedly agree to the huge advantages you get doing this. You have better control over hiring quality talent, more focused developers who develop institutional knowledge over time, much easier to scale up/down than the contracts with these consultancies and so on..... Outside IT, I can confirm the same tree has been happening from my industry of Oil & Gas consultancy. Many American / European oil & gas consultancies now have Indian engineering centres employing chemical / mechanical / civil / electrical / instrumentation engineers. It is easy to setup this over here. Everyone is welcome.

Being a part of one of these, I agree most companies have realised have a dedicated offshore team is much better than assigning work via third party consultancies. If anyone is struggling to hire in their local market definitely try to get in touch with talented people offshore and see if they can bootstrap a small development team to help your business. Also it's not always about cost cutting, sometimes businesses struggle to find developers working on their technology platforms or just lack the pull to attract local talent. In these cases if you invest in an offshore team and help them learn about your business needs it will pay off in the long run.
