Description:
This book offers a clear and engaging roadmap for Western companies building offshore teams in India. Through the journey of a fictional US Tech company, Innovate Nexus, which is expanding operations from San Francisco to Bangalore, the authors share practical insights drawn from 25 years of experience in global consulting.
Each chapter explores a critical phase of working with India, including recruitment, onboarding, training, remote collaboration, and retention. The narrative highlights common missteps and cultural misunderstandings between Western and Indian teams while offering actionable strategies to build trust, improve communication, and align expectations across borders.
Rather than relying on theory, the book uses real-world scenarios to show how cross-cultural teams can thrive when leaders approach collaboration with empathy, clarity, and cultural intelligence. This guide is ideal for senior executives, HR professionals, and global managers who want to create high-performing teams that succeed across time zones and cultural boundaries.
