Hi! Vivi

Do you mean you could outsource your development work in India? If that is the case then it would be like any other business you will have to sign an MoU with the Indian company and keep records of your RFQ's which you will need to file at the time of filing your company taxes in the U.S and as for the Indian company it would be just another service export.

If you need further info on software development companies in India please let me know i work for one such company as a business development manager.

tnx.

Hi Vivi

I agree with Javed's views on doing business with Indian firms for off-shore development work. Its like any outsourcing job. Moreover, many of the firms I have dealt with have offices in US. Dealing with the US office is like dealing with any other US firm with the related off-shore benefits. Let me know if you need further info.

Thanks.
