India is the most important region to OT, they are hiring and completely committed to India
No layoffs there

You are wrong. In a week, you will see.
If the Indian managers who come here to post actually cared more about getting the engineering done right, even with a brand-new team that has zero product knowledge and no customer experience, instead of obsessing over how the talk on this site might make it harder for you to hire in India or shake up your current employees even more.
The root of every single problem here is you incompetent, arrogant Indian managers. Every Indian engineer I've ever worked with has been a great, dedicated guy who genuinely wants to do things right. But they're like a troop of Boy Scouts (and I don't mean they're bad at tech—this is just about their lack of experience and know-how). They simply don't know what the he-l they're supposed to be doing.
The frontline managers, desperate to look good fast to their bosses, rush into big changes without understanding the business. That usually just makes everything worse and speeds up the company's downfall.
That's why shifting engineering jobs to India has become the go-to trick for so many fading tech companies to make their financial reports look better. It's turned into an industry "best practice." But you mid- and senior-level managers are the ones wrecking the whole game. You should get the he-l out ASAP, just like that former Hyderabad site manager got booted.
@dv Hey, the charts and graphs look great
@d0 can't say except anonymous 😔.
It's a lesson learned over years.
Original poster is not well informed.
Anyone that works in engineering knows that the quality of work that is done in India is extremely poor. There are some engineers that have a good skill set but the focus is on speed and looking good to management. This results in work done quickly but badly, solutions that can't scale, things that will break 5 months down the line. I hate to sound harsh but this is the reality, everyone knows it but can't say it.
Every piece of work that is done has to be re-done, it's just a fact. It's down to the idea that it's better to look good to your boss than it is to do quality work.
If you disagree with this then you obviously don't work in engineering.
More reason to leave
@bn Chatbots are cheaper and the quality of code out of India is comparable with what AI spits that needs a human hand from an English-speaking country to go over and fix. No great loss to OT or the world.
Y'all had to know that being the cheapest option would eventually lead to executives finding even cheaper options.
Ofc they don’t want to get rid of cheap labour
