I tend to agree with you having worked with IBM's global consulting services and their workforce in both India and Brazil many moons ago.
While in theory, it may sound like you could have around the clock hands-on-keyboard time by having folks in India, it's more advantageous to have people work in similar time zone if it is joint development work.

- matheusmoreira 5y agoAbsolutely. World cup matches might as well be impromptu national holidays at this point. Carnaval also has huge impact on productivity.
