(InfoWorld) - When the Nasdaq stock market opens next Monday, Indian outsourcer Infosys TechnologiesÂ will become the first Indian company to be included in its prestigious list of top-100 companies. The Nasdaq-100 index is composed of the 100 largest non-financial stocks on the Nasdaq in terms of market capitalization. The inclusion of Infosys follows Nasdaq Stock Market's annual revision of the index. Among the other tech companies to be affected by the changes that take effect on Dec. 18, Level 3 CommunicationsÂ is also being added to the list, while JDS Uniphase is being dropped. Infosys, Indiaâs second largest outsourcer, became the first Indian company to be listed on the Nasdaq in 1999. It has emerged as the poster child for the Indian outsourcing industry, thanks partly to its strong revenue and profit growth, but also due to some deft brand-building in India and abroad. Other companies in the index include Google, Dell, and Microsoft. Outsourcer Cognizant Technology Solutions, of Teaneck, New Jersey, is also in the top-100. Cognizant uses India as a hub for its offshore services delivery. Infosys called its addition to the index an important milestone for the company. Over the years it has tried to break out of the mold of an Indian services provider, to establish itself as a global company on a par with competitors like Accenture and Electronic Data Systems. It has also started to offer higher-value consulting services in addition to its contract application development and business process outsourcing. Infosysâ inclusion in the Nasdaq index is one of several factors that contribute to building a brand, said Siddharth Pai, a partner at Technology Partners International, a sourcing consulting company. Ultimately, however, its continued good performance will matter the most, he said. Infosys, like other Indian outsourcers, is still far from being a true global services company, and to become one it will need to make substantial investments in new geographies and broaden its services offerings, he added.

(InfoWorld) - It may now be the turn of Indian companies to offshore outside India their IT services requirements. Indian CIOs will have to consider outsourcing offshore, because of the shortage of IT skills in the country, and inadequate services standards of local service providers, according to research firm Gartner Inc. Indian companies have been looking at India alone for outsourcing, said a spokesman for Gartner India on Tuesday, who asked not to be named. They will now have to look at other locations like Singapore, Hong Kong, and even the U.S., he added. The services offshore will come at a premium to Indian prices, but will at least ensure that Indian CIOs get quality services, the spokesman said. Demand for skilled IT personnel as a result of initiatives like the Indian government's recent national e-governance program (NEGP), and resource-hungry Indian offshore service providers, are outstripping local supply, according to Gartner. Rapid economic growth in India is exacerbating the problem, and local chief information officers areÂ finding it difficult to manage the shortage of skilled local IT resources as internal business units become even more demanding in the area of IT requirements and schedules, the research firm added. Indiaâs gross domestic product (GDP) grew 9.2 percent in the countryâs fiscal year to March. A recent Gartner survey conducted among more than 1,400 CIOs worldwide showed that IT budgets in India had the highest growth of 16.19 percent, compared with an average of 3.16 percent in the rest of the world. Gartner warned in February thatÂ the problem for user organizations in India may only get worse as outsourcing companies start hiring business line managers from user organizations to build their vertical industry expertise. As large Indian outsourcers grow in revenue by 30 to 40 percent each year, they will hire business managers from the banking, manufacturing, and retail industries, that bring the business knowledge that can be integrated into their services offerings, it added. The focus of Indian outsourcers is primarily on markets in the U.S. and Europe where margins are far higher than in India, according to Gartner. Multinational services companies have targeted outsourcing deals by large Indian companies but the focus so far has been on very large deals, Gartner said in February. If Indian CIOs outsource work offshore, that may get Indian companies to try and reverse the trend, the Gartner spokesman said. An alternative to offshore outsourcing is for Indian CIOs to work with second and third-tier providers in India who are interested in local business, said the Gartner spokesman. The right provider may be able to provide domestic resources and perhaps a higher level of attention to issues and demands, he added. Â
