        \_ "Mr Zhu, addressing Indian IT leaders in the southern city of
        Bangalore, said that if Indian software was combined with Chinese
        hardware, it would lead the world."  Or more likely send the world
        back to the stone age.  Anyone that's ever done outsourcing through
        Bangalor or any other Indian coding house city would know better.  No
        one is coming.
        \_ My experience in this matter confirms this. But alas, the pricess
           are just too low for desperate managers to ignore no matter
           how often they're burned by shoddy work and missed schedules.
           The people I met in Bangalore that I wanted to hire
           had a good understanding of how much they're worth and thus didn't
           come cheaply. The cost savings isn't as much as it is touted.

You are number one in terms of software we are number one in terms of hardware Chinese premier Zhu Rongji Mr Zhu, addressing Indian IT leaders in the southern city of Bangalore, said that if Indian software was combined with Chinese hardware, it would lead the world. The Chinese leader is on an official visit to India - the first by a Chinese premier in a decade. He has already called for the two Asian giants to boost trade and economic co-operation, and has voiced his condemnation of the recent attack on the Indian parliament. Future 'rivals' Mr Zhu used his address to IT leaders to give approval to India's best-known software firm, Infosys, to set up an operation in the city of Shanghai. Zhu at Gandhi memorial Beijing is eager to develop ties He said that China's huge population and vast potential market made it an attractive location for Indian firms. However, the head of Infosys, NR Narayana Murthy, had earlier given a warning that China could overtake India in the global software market if it was not careful. He told the BBC on Wednesday that India should learn from the Chinese experience in opening up new markets, implementing quick decision making and improving basic infrastructure. However, the business research group Gartner has said that China could eventually overtake India as the main IT outsourcing hub for US companies. Possibilities 'immense' Kieran Karnik, the President of the National Association of Software and Service companies in India told the BBC's World Business Report that he welcomed the comments of Mr Zhu. But analysts believe China may be ready to overcome years of mistrust in order to counter growing US influence in South Asia.
