Overview

• In the post-pandemic era, the business world
  underwent a significant transformation. One which
  has stood out the most is the pace at which
  companies are ramping up their efforts to
  leverage the new technologies. Today, building
  agile, resilient, and flexible business models is
  the key priority.
• But due to the economic downturn caused by the
  Covid-19 global lockdown, quick scaling of teams
  at local geographies has become a challenge. Thus
  companies globally are turning to India- a
  destination that offers a large talent pool of
  highly-skilled software developers across
  technologies.
• In addition to being one of the biggest IT talent
  pools globally, it offers resources across
  emerging technologies, making it a one-stop-shop
  for all your development needs.

• 6 Big Challenges to hire Indian Developers

Highly Saturated Market

• Numerous companies globally outsource to India,
  so the market eventually turns competitive for
  finding, hiring, and retaining highly skilled
  labor. So, be ready for a false beginning and a
  protracted search when looking to hire an
  outsource development company in India.
• And, while in India there are untold numbers of
  skilled developers, there are also many unskilled
  workers. As an outcome, it can be challenging to
  find the right workers when you want to hire
  Indian developers.

2. Lack of Privacy and Security Laws

• 2021 was a blink-and-you-will-miss year on
  privacy and data protection in India. In the
  context of offshoring, you may worry about data
  security and the infringement of trade secrets
  issues or sharing of customer data with the
  offshore development company.
• There have been cases where customer data has
  been compromised or sold out to other companies.
  Therefore, the privacy of data remains an onerous
  concern while offshoring.

3. Culture Barriers

• There are wide cultural differences between India
  and the U.S. Some of these differences wont
  impact your professional relationship and enhance
  the diversity of your business. However, if you
  are not acknowledged with all the cultural
  nuances, you may run into misunderstandings. So,
  its advisable to understand each others
  cultures that lead to better management and
  increased productivity.
• Another difference between the cultures relies
  on nonverbal contextual communication. In India,
  people build relationships as part of doing
  business and often use emotions to communicate
  their ideas.

4. Resource Backup Not Always Available

• Having a resource backup bench is critical to the
  success of a projecta readily available team to
  take over the project in case of any emergency
  and ensure on-time completion. But when working
  with freelancers, third-party websites, or even a
  small enterprise, resource backups are not
  available, creating a single point of failure for
  the project.

5. Communication Challenges

• Despite many perks, hiring Indian developers can
  sometimes result in dissatisfaction caused by
  engaging in outsourcing or offshoring operations
  without ensuring all communication risks are met
  with proper preventive measures.
• To be precise, communication challenges arise
  from two scenarios
• Lack of Language Proficiency The hired team,
  has analytical competency, but they struggle due
  to low English proficiency. And as English is
  considered the lingua franca in technology and
  software development, this comes as an
  unconscious bias for Indian developers as they
  are non-native speakers. This communication gap
  causes a major challenge when instructions get
  lost and developers cannot present their ideas
  effectively.
• Tracking of Work In a typical outsourcing
  operation, you are usually engaged in a
  contractual agreement with another party that
  consists of clauses regarding the workload and
  duration of the project. Since working with a
  remote team gives you limited visibility of the
  ongoing operations, dealing with developers with
  poor communication ability can delay development.

6. Not Meeting Quality Benchmarks

• A common problem amongst Indian developers is
  that they lack curiosity. Despite having a large
  talent pool across technologies, one can see the
  disparity in skill-sets among resources.
• Rudimentary coding knowledge and a degree seem to
  suffice the saturated market, and most of these
  resources work mechanically without understanding
  what they do. This eventually affects the quality
  of the work compared to the quantity delivered in
  the long term.
• Besides, the Indian IT industry is primarily
  service-based, which means it initially comprises
  companies that work on already developed products
  by clients and offers.
