Anyone who’s ever outsourced to India knows what a horrible mess it can be. The biggest problem is the timezone differences.. it basically slows down everything by at least a factor of 2x Then there are issues with the talent. Most of the time resumes are inflated, knowledge is faked, people are swapped without your knowledge, etc. If you’re only hiring one person they might know how to do the work, but they are often not skilled and end up making extremely poor architecture decisions that will cost exponentially more to manage long term than hiring someone knowledgeable to do it right. Even hiring the best Tata consultants, you’re still dealing with a mixed bag.. and it’s gonna cost you as much as someone local anyway. Short sighted businesses people will try and make decisions like this that look good on paper and they will have moved on to a new company before the current company realizes how badly the shortsighted decision making has hurt them.
