Indian Business Lobby Fetes Congressional Delegation

Democrats take outsourcing tour to India

By Jeff Nachtigal

In January, two of the most influential Indian trade lobbies subsidized a nine-day, five-city trip for a United States Congressional Delegation to discuss political, defense, health and economic ties between India and the United States.

One of the main topics of discussion for the 11-member Delegation was India’s booming high-tech business and job outsourcing industry. The Delegation, comprised of 10 Democratic Congress members and one Republican Senator, was sponsored by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and India’s National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM), groups which lobby on behalf of outsourcing work to India.
