India's IT industry is changing lives
Indrajit Basu, UPI
"Kolkata, India — Being a "bhangi" – the Hindi word for lavatory cleaner – and growing up in a family line of bhangis, Sonal Chavan never even dreamed of being a teacher. That was until her husband, a sweeper at the Suraj NASSCOM (National Association of Software and Service Companies) Foundation Gram Dnyan Kendra (SNFGDK), mustered the courage to enroll his wife for computer education and personality development."

A Contributed Paper for the Special Libraries Association Annual Conference in Seattle
June 2008
Author:
Larisa Brigevich
Director, Global Research Library
Franklin Templeton Investments
This paper is dedicated to Franklin Templeton’s Global Research Library, a team of forward thinking, results-driven, information professionals whose work makes a difference.
"Offshoring library jobs to India is a sensitive topic in the library circles, often generating images of downsizing or even closing corporate libraries in the U.S. But this is not always the case. As this paper demonstrates, librarians can turn challenges of globalization into opportunities for themselves and their clients. While managing multi-cultural libraries is a hard work that involves risks, the benefits are significant, including:
• More well-rounded teams with global mind-set and local perspectives.
• Better access to business critical information for globally dispersed clients.
• Expanded service hours due to different time zones.
• Collaboration that results in increased efficiency and productivity.
• Innovation."
