Your problem is (I mean apart from an inability to write coherently and without error) is that you accept mediocre as your normal standard. I hold my work to very high standards and I expect the same of others, regardless of what you are being paid: if you accept the job you damn well better be capable of doing it to a decent standard.
1. Client to Indian IT consultancy1 - "Here are my business requirements and project timelines, pls design and code them in whatever sh***y way you want to do so. And you don't need to get it reviewed by ChimpMaster"
2. Client to Indian IT consultancy2 - "Some sh***y stuff will be delivered by your compatriots. These are my SLAs and you need to support the sh** 24/7 using whatever tools you seem fit, might be a shovel, a crowbar or your own two fingers."
If you treat IT consultancies(Indian or otherwise) as body shoppers, why should they own the risk of what the bodies produce eventually???... that is the client's risk. But if you pin them down on a fixed price quote, liability clauses, SLAs and warranty they will be sh** scared to deliver anything bad. It all boils down to the art of vendor management and risk transfer which I have seen successful project managers do.Comment

They simply said 'outsource the work, not the problem'.
Most companies are absolutely crap when it comes to vendor management."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."
