India is still the most attractive country to which to move back-office operations, according to the 2007 Global Services Location Index compiled by A.T. Kearney. The index evaluates 50 countries according to three main categories: financial attractiveness, availability of skilled workers and the business environment. India stays ahead of China, ranked second, thanks to lower wage, infrastructure and regulatory costs. Both countries lead the rest by a good margin. Policies to promote service exports in Latin America have helped Brazil and Mexico rise in the global league. Less established locations in eastern Europe, such as Bulgaria and Slovakia, are now ranked higher than either Poland or the Czech Republic.

Competing with China apart, the rise of other locations in Eastern Europe and Latin America has lessons for India.
Wouldn't Eastern Europe more attractive to the west?
So also Latin America provided it also gave the much needed political stability that the West(US) looks for?
It would be interesting to have your comments on the news stories/ snippets you put up here!
Rightly put, however the sheer numbers of talented engineers and graduates in India, make us attractive over East Europe - which will surely have labor shortages, in the next few years.
Latin America (and also EEurope) will also have trouble finding good English speakers.
