Outsourcing: What the USA did to Bangalore, Can Urban Cities do for Rural India              

OUTSOURCING: WHAT THE USA DID TO BANGALORE, CAN URBAN CITIES DO FOR RURAL INDIA

When India got independence, cities like Bangalore were not metro cities. They were just like any other city and the population was equally distributed. Just the difference was in education institutes. People were attracted to the cities like Bangalore as they had a variety of options for education.

However, later on, a drastic change happened that brought a revolution in India. Cities like Bangalore made themselves ready with all the needful infrastructure like internet connectivity, and a qualified talent pool. And as they were ready and loaded with all the resources, countries like the USA started outsourcing IT and BPO projects.

This resulted in creating a demand for large job opportunities which led to the development of these cities. In urban regions, especially Bangalore where IT and BPO work was largely outsourced from the USA.

CAN URBAN CITIES NOW OUTSOURCE THE WORK TO RURAL INDIA?

Of course, they can. Now, rural India is getting ready with 5G connectivity, and access to higher education which is resulting in the creation of a talent pool. These days, if you have a desktop and internet connectivity, a lot many tasks could be done aptly, which is easily accessible in rural India.

20 percent of urban jobs can be outsourced to rural India. As cities continue to grow at a rapid pace, they are struggling to keep up with the demand for candidates. To offset this, some businesses from urban cities are exploring opportunities to outsource jobs to rural areas.
