Many organisations in the US, UK, and other European countries are outsourcing their non-core businesses to English-speaking and manpower extensive countries like India, China, Brazil, Malaysia, etc. The IT industry in India started the trend in India and since then there has been no looking back, even in other sectors. Since the past decade or so, outsourcing is on a rise because of the several benefits it offers.

The organisation does not need to spend on the infrastructure, manpower, maintenance, and training of the employees, thus leading to cost cutting. Moreover, organisations can get the services from countries like India at reasonable prices.

It allows the organisation to focus on its core business and not be bothered about the non-core arm of their business. This has been experienced by many organisations that outsource their business. This is called the principle of 'comparative advantage', whereby the organisation concentrates on its core strengths outsourcing the non-competitive areas.

The organisation can avail the services of specialists who work in a professional environment. There is an improvement in service quality, thus boosting the organisation’s reputation.

Outsourcing is no more seen as cost cutting method only. In fact, it is being now seen as a strategic planning and business outcomes tool by many organisations.
