Abstract

[fre] L’Inde fait peur. Et pourtant ses exportations mondiales de services informatiques représentaient en 2006 moins de 30 milliards de dollars et guère plus de deux millions d’emplois tout compris. D’ores et déjà, des pénuries de professionnels qualifiés se traduisent par une hausse rapide des salaires et la délocalisation dans les pays clients des grandes compagnies indiennes de l’informatique. Mais alors, la crainte est celle du rachat des entreprises occidentales du secteur par les « Maharajas » de l’informatique indienne comme le montrent les rumeurs d’une possible acquisition de Capgemini par Infosys à l’été 2007. La peur de l’Inde est l’expression d’une double inconnue : l’ampleur de la montée en régime de l’internationalisation des services et le syndrome chinois de hub mondial des produits manufacturés cette fois appliqué aux services. Tant la fenêtre d’opportunité démographique en cours en Inde, que l’agressivité des acteurs publics et privés pour négocier leur entrée en force dans la globalisation, convergent pour penser que l’Inde va jouer un rôle actif dans l’internationalisation des services dans les décennies à venir. . Classification JEL : F21, L80, N75 [eng] India’s challenges and the future of international subcontracting in services . India’s entry in the global services game trigger fears. And yet its world exports of offshore services represented in 2006 less than 30 billion dollars and hardly more than two million people employed directly and indirectly. Moreover, the shortages of qualified professionals in India result in fast rising wages and turnover which partly explain the wave of relocation in the countries customers by the Indians majors. But then, fear shift to the sharp competition from these new Maharajas as the rumours of a possible acquisition of Capgemini by Infosys at the summer 2007 show it. The fear of India is actually the expression of a double unknown factor : the scope and range of the rising globalisation of services and the China syndrome of a new world hub this time applied to services. The huge and lasting demographic window of opportunity in India, as well as the aggressiveness of the public and private leaders to reap the benefits of globalisation should indeed make India a major player in the shaping of the global services industry in the decades to come. Let us manage actively this basic fact with a better understanding of the assets as well as the liabilities of the Indian economy. . JEL classification : F21, L80, N75
