Top Made in India product - Indian workers

Let just see how the rest of the world look at the problem of India exporting workers to other countries. Sindiapore has a problem over this for years, so does the rest of the world today.

When China and India took off three or four decades ago, China betted on becoming a manufacturing hub while India betted on being the services backroom of Western companies. Who betted on the right horse and who did not is clearly evident.

China's manufacturing depended on its own skilled workforce and is held hostage by nobody. China revamped its education system decades ago to fit in with its manufacturing agenda. It worked. The world still needs manufactured products that had held true in the past, at present and into the future. No one is foolish enough to want to compete with China, except, ironically, India.

India betted on the service industry, providing call centers en masse for Western companies and even tailored its education system for that. AI just ended all that and the service industry of India is collapsing. India has no way to migrate its service industry quickly to manufacturing. It did not have the investments, the skilled workers, the education system ready to turn around to take on the task. Coupled with that, the Middle East war is forcing Indians to return home to compete domestically in its job market. That is a serious problem compounded by the influx of more than five million university graduates joining the job market every year.

Now outsourcing labor to other countries is facing pushback, not just in Asia, but in Europe and America as well.

  1. India is going to be the manufacturing hub for producing Indian workers for the rest of the world. This is one sector that India will succeed beyond imagination. Just like making Indian workers the backroom workers for companies in the West, which is now in tatters in this era of AI.

    The problem now befalling India is that countries are pushing back over the influx of Indians taking over jobs in the West and bringing their uncivil behavior along as well. Habits do not change just by being outside India. The Indian mentality is that others must do as the Indians do at home, and not the other way round. They think the caste system can just be implanted anywhere in the world. Well, people are waking up and telling them to fxxk off.
