It's a two way street, those Indian companies who opened offices here need to hire locals first and others next.. And fck those body shopping companies anyway, i used to work for one of them for three years and it was full of shit..Strong Eagle wrote:The Singapore government has finally realized that allowing the MNC's and others to use cheaply paid contractors is destroying the mid level career path options for Singaporeans.

The 10,000 figure counts only Indians working for the big Indian outsourcing companies, usually brought in here from India through company transfer.brian_singapore wrote:I really don't believe there are fewer then 10,000 Indian Tech workers here.
And for the outsources, the ration of onshore to offshore is probably between 5 to 10....

thats another 10K rentals and other services thats gone.. pretty good for the economy i'd think.brian_singapore wrote:Ah, I wasn't sure if the 10K was only the outsourcing companies. That makes it sound more reasonable.
Remember that for everyone 1 of those onshore from a vendor company, there are another 5-10 positions that are off shore under the supervision of that person.
So that's another 50K-100K positions moved out of Singapore altogether.

Singaporean authorities has for years been telling the World that "people" is their only resource for growth and prosperity.Wd40 wrote:TCS has around 1400 staff working here brought from India. Then there is wipro, Infosys, HCL, Mindtree and zensar. That's about it so the 10k figure sounds right.
Optimum, Comtel etc are not counted.
