> they are disincentivised to automate repetitive tasks

That's definitely the issue here.

As an engineer , you are usually trained to automate as much as your work as possible , and we create framework for that.

Outsourcer won't , or will not tell you about it because they need to charge you money for it.

At some point , it's very likely that India will suffer the same crisis as China labour from automation.

Is China really suffering that crisis? I have the impression that they focused early enough on high-tech industries and that the increasing wealth (leading to higher cost) drives more manual labour away than automation.
