Thinking in whole numbers

There is a huge difference of the kind of projects that TCS does and that Capgemini does as Capgemini thinks in Euros and TCS does it in Rupees which is actually a fraction of what is a Euro.

The size of businesses in Capgemini is always more and bigger than that of from TCS. Of course TCS also plays in number of resources (it has an infinite apetite to put extra resources at client side)

Why I have choosen TCS and Capgemini. ? Because of grape-vine !!! (I know of companies that go home just having TCS in the list of interested parties). But, It Think of it as more generic terms Indian company vs European Company.

What would you suggest to a company who wants to have a piece of work done. would you buy cheap or buy high? Well I would say do a research of past projects for each company in the same area. (Check out their success rates esp time taken for execution and the budget allocated/revamped at a later date) . Its no mean task to handover your company's handiwork into foreign hands.

However being an Indian working for a European company. There is an element of culture clash. Penny Wise Pound Foolish. or is it the other way round "Mehnga roye Ek Baar,Sasta roye baar baar ".
