Indian IT industry body NASSCOM has reacted cautiously to US President Barack Obama’s remarks on outsourcing, saying ‘global outsourcing had benefited US companies that generate over 50% of their business overseas’.
NASSCOM president Som Mittal also told ‘American companies generate more than 50 percent of their business outside the US. Their workforce is global.
