Moving to India Not A Luxury. A Necessity.

"Moving to India is not a luxury. It is a necessity"
American workers won't like what venture capitalist Ravi Chiruvolu says about why his tech start-ups are built using Indian workers. But they'd better listen.

Xalted Networks, a router technology start-up in Plano, Texas, launched in 1999 and soon grew to 200 employees. Four years later, that same company has just two employees in the U.S.: a founder who does sales and marketing, and a single design engineer. The remaining 220 employees work in India.

Venture capitalist Ravi Chruvolu told Salon why outsourcing might be harder than it looks on paper, but is becoming essential for new companies that aim to compete in a global marketplace.
