Talent Management in India

Release Date: October 2006
ID: V-0109-06-CH

In recent years India has enjoyed an extraordinary period of rapid growth that arises from radical restructuring of the economy. As a consequence the demand for skilled workers has risen significantly. India and China together represent 40 per cent of the World's supply of labor. However, companies that have offshored production to India feel shortages of skilled labour. India's National Association of Software and Service Companies has warned that though 3 million students graduate from Indian universities each year, only about 25% of engineering graduates and 10-15% of general college graduates are considered suitable for employment in the IT sector. The Indian government has announced a massive investment in higher education.

Key discussion topics include:

How do companies experience the skills squeeze?
Is there already a war for talent, is it only just starting or is the situation better than often described?
How can India's knowledge-based and service-driven economy sustain growth?
Is there enough talent to maintain the economic expansion in India?
How will India perform in comparison to China? Is there an advantage for one of the fierce competitors?
Which sectors are most affected by the labor shortage?
What can companies do to address the skills squeeze?

This webcast examines these issues with a focus on India's growth prospects over the next years.
