    Put it this way the ones I meet in Europe and the uk are better than the ones I’ve seen when visiting India.

    Good people at an outsourcer are offered the chance to progress to client site, others don’t.

    Indeed.

    We are very good at that in the UK, it's called exporting your GDP.

    Britain must accept more immigrants

    Britain must accept more immigrants if it wants a free trade deal, Indian diplomat warns

    YK Sinha, India’s High Commissioner to the UK, said "freer movement of people and professionals" had to form part of any future deal to ensure it was “mutually beneficial.”
