Among the top 10 cities, Hyderabad is ranked at the second position followed by Pune (3rd), Kolkata (5th) and Chandigarh (9th).
The study, jointly carried out by Cyber Media’s Global Services magazine and investment advisory firm Tholons, has drawn up a list of ‘top 50 emerging outsourcing cities’ and is represented with six cities including Coimbatore (21st) while China has five cities.
The Philippines city of Cebu (4th), Vietnamese city of Ho Chi Minh (6th), Colombo (7th), Shanghai (8th) and Beijing (10th) have also found a place in the top-10 chart.
“With the demand-supply gap widening, newer tier II cities will play a critical
role in re-engineered globalisation models,” said Tholons Chairman and CEO,
Avinash Vashistha.
Low cost, developed infrastructure, skilled workers and low attritions are the main reasons for Chennai bagging the top spot.
