London, July 03: The high-level Confederation Of Indian Industry delegation has received "positive response" from the UK government and more British companies on the question of "outsourcing" from India as it was beneficial to the companies themselves, Tarun Das, Director General, CII has said.
"We had very positive response from leading British companies and the British government is also saying the same thing that outsourcing in India is beneficial to the companies", Das told last night.
In the latest case, David Jafferies, Chairman, Costain, informed him that his company has employed 150 people in Mumbai to do the back office work.
Though trade unions are concerned about the loss of jobs, British companies want to use the Indian back office services as it improved their profitability and competitiveness. On the other hand, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) have set up their company in the UK providing jobs to 1,200 people, Das said.
During the discussions, the British companies have argued that it was better to lose couple of hundred jobs and save majority jobs rather than close down.
"We had very good response from the government during our discussions with Mike O'brien, Minister Of Trade And Industry and Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Petricia Hewitt, secretary, Trade and Industry and Sir Stephen Brown, head of The British Trade Commission" ,Das said.
