With increasing globalization of outsourcing companies, the distinction between outsourcing and offshore outsourcing will become less clear over time. This is evident in the increasing presence of Indian outsourcing companies in the US and UK. The globalization of outsourcing operating models has resulted in new outsourcing companies in India and terms such as nearshoring, noshoring, and rightshoring. This is seen in the opening of offices and operations centers by Indian outsourcing companies in the U.S. and UK.
