May I jump in…

“Argentina doesn’t have enough IT workforce throughput from Universities to have a high organic growth.”

Yes, there´s indeed almost full employment right now for the IT workforce. Companies snap capable people from their competitor´s hands. But things are improving, the government is subsidizing 100% of the cost of IT scholarships, with deals with Sun Microsystems, IBM, Oracle, and Microsoft.

Some of these companies are taking freshmen from college and training them in-house. And there´s also a private sector effort to promote IT related careers.

Yes, India are mass-producers. But do they innovate?. Or are they sweatshops?.

Argentina has an angle to succeed, like it succeeds in the advertising industry and cinema: through creativite rather than raw output measurements…

Globant doesn’t have yet a certified level to compete in the great outsourcing league.
Also, Argentina doesn’t have enough IT workforce throughput from Universities to have a high organic growth.

Sebastian,
Your point has merit as a general remark about the capacities of the large Indian outsourcers. I’m not following, however, the relevance of your comment in regard to the profile of Globant. Can you elaborate?

Are you kidding? Comparing Globant (CMM?) with Infosys (CMM 5), Wipro (CMM 5) and Tata IT (CMM 5) doesn’t have any sense.

Infosys revenue: US$ 3.16 billion
Wipro revenue: US$ 4.98 billion
Tata TCS revenue: US$ 5.70 billion

Globant revenue: US$ 36 million

And the IT work force in India is strategically larger than Argentina IT.
