Hi Paul,
I enjoyed reading this paper as it provides a lot of insights and perspectives on China’s service potential. One thing I like to note regarding SWITCH companies are generating 16 billion in revenue each. If you look at the earning statements, it is more reasonable to say they generated 16 billion in revenue combined.

Hi Paul,
Firstly, this is an insightful to give the paper giving the inside perspective of how China and its different level of cities and companies are gearing up for tapping the IT software services marketplace.
Couple of observations :
1. In India too there is second and third level city talent available which is moveable to a desired location : and India companies are tapping this.
2. Both communication and infrastructure while they are just appropriate (it is again a question of using the same benchmark to rate two countries – which is not available) :: there is both improvement and investment in it to become available in near term. There is a ‘pull’ pressure too and not just a ‘push’ by IT companies.
3. The business model of Indian and Chinese companies may be different and their approaches too :: but like you pointed out there is scope for alignment and collaboration to dominate the marketplace.
4. There are likely to emerge newer business models in software outsourcing to encapsulate the outsourcing of software development from India to China based on expertise levels and components of software development lifecycle. This will mean Indian and chinese companies joining hands instead of competiting and Indian companies moving to offshore called China too!!
5. I am sure we will also see talent movements soon from Indian companies to chinese companies as they emerge as opportunities to further international exposure that one seeks.
