Unfortunately, by far and away the biggest problem I've had with offshored work in India is the sheer poor quality of work and the lack of attention to details. I've been in IT for 23 years and worked with offshore teams all over the world. With India above all else, your best bet is to work with a team that you have direct references for, or past experiences; otherwise you can expect disappointment. I've lost count of all the times, there were fake resumes, people suddenly ghosting, and COUNTLESS quality issues. It seems like the culture of, "Acceptable is what you don't get caught with" is quite rampant there above anywhere else. I never ever would select to offshore anything to India if I had a choice!
