For more than 20 years, businesses around the world have consistently turned to India for outsourcing—and that trend hasn’t slowed down. Even with new outsourcing destinations emerging, India remains the preferred choice. Nearly half of Fortune 500 companies outsource to India, especially for software development, thanks to the country’s unmatched combination of skilled talent and a vast workforce.

So, what keeps India at the top of the global outsourcing landscape?

India has one of the largest educated and employable populations in the world, particularly in the 25–35 age group. Each year, over 700 universities produce more than five million graduates across fields such as IT, software development, engineering, finance, law, medicine, creative arts, architecture, and more. Add to that the world’s second-largest English-speaking population and a favorable time zone that supports faster turnaround times and round-the-clock productivity, and it’s easy to see why India stands out.
