Recently one of my friends pointed me to an article in Wired about
India’s growing dominance in the IT Outsourcing Arena. It was written
by Daniel H.Pink, the White House Speechwriter to former US Vice-President Al Gore. Pink is also the Author of a bestseller “Free Agent Nation”. Here
Pink writes about his first hand experience from both side of the
world. He captures well the feelings of the disturbed White Collar
Americans as well as the new Indian Middle class. Here is the full
article: “The New Face of the Silicon Age”, you can also hear to Pink’s Interview which went live in CNNfn.
I especially liked the way he closed the article by quoting from
Gita. The Gita opens with two armies facing each other across a field
of battle. One of the warriors is Prince Arjuna, who discovers that his
charioteer is the Hindu god Krishna. The book relates the dialog
between the god and the warrior – about how to survive and, more
important, how to live. One stanza seems apt in this moment of fear and
discontent. “Your very nature will drive you to fight,” Lord Krishna
tells Arjuna. “The only choice is what to fight against”.
Let me write in a different blog, on what I personally feel about Outsourcing.
