I’m off to India again next week. Four different companies in three locations (Pune, Bangalore and Mysore). At each company we have an 8 hour meeting, although running under Indian time, it could well be more. These companies (Danaher GDCs) are the very best that India has to offer, so my expectations are high that we can find a low cost region contractor that will suit our needs.
In particular, I’m looking forward to the drive from Bangalore to Mysore and back, in rush hour and about 3-4 hours each way.
27-12-07: We have been working with our chosen supplier for 6 months now. We’ve sacked both the developers and only kept the test engineer. We have, once again, been very disappointed with the quality. The attraction of employing engineers at a quarter the cost in the UK is outweighed, I’m afraid, by the poor performance of these engineers. Sad, but this approach is not going to work for us
