Somers see India as a job-creator rather than a job-taker
The chief IT companies in India require to set up fresh facilities in the U. S for making additional employment opportunities for the locals and to alter the idea that they are job-takers, as told by a member of a top US business forum.
According to Ron Somers, the President of US India Business Council (USIBC), America is still suffering from deep and dark recession. He told this during an interactive session arranged by the Bangalore Chamber of Industry and Commerce (BCIC) together with the Indo-American Chamber of Commerce-South India Council, held yesterday.
He has said that if he had a company like Wipro or Infosys, he would try his best to set up new facilities in the United States for creating jobs for the Americans in Arkansas or in Nebraska or may be in all the constituencies where the chief Senators and Congressmen sit.
He would at least bring light to the fact that India is not a job-taker but a job-creator instead.
Somers had earlier been a Unocal Corporation's Chief Executive in India. He again said that the impression India has in US is that of being the 'next China' and as an overseas nation to which concern must be mitigated as all the jobs are going there.
