We have some Indian National working, not from Banglore though, most are from border towns . nnOne thing I noticed lately is lot of Nepalese working in India have started to apply for jobs in Nepal and reason being ( as written in applications) they want to come back home. I suppose pay gap in IT industry is narrowing between Nepal and India and thus the reason for increased application from Nepalese IT professional from India.nnrocikc

I also run a small outsourcing company in Kathmandu and its getting harder and harder to find the qualified developers.We are looking for 20 developers immidiately and we are getting one qualified developers a week (that too thru recommendations ).In this rate we will have 20 vacancies all the timennThe biggest problem is developer/s applying visas while working and saying I got my visa yesterday and I have to leave in 3 days.Another problem is no proper skills in fresh universities graduates .nnI think all of Nepal’s out sourcing companies should get together and start a college/Training institute and recruit from there.we can easily create thousands of jobs.nn

Indians have it easy working in Nepal because of open border policy. You don’t need Visa to come to Nepal. Lots of Indian citizens work in Nepal.

but I don’t know what exact permissions they need from the government of Nepal to work here. I see a lot of indian friends who work here without any restrictions. (seemingly).

As for Bangalore, I feel thats the next step for IT firms here. Have to reach out to Indian Pool because of the limitations of talented resources here right now.

Have you ever considered recruiting in Bangalore? There are lots of very talented developers there who have a hard time breaking into the big firms there. I don’t know what the working visa situation is for Indians working in Nepal, though. I’d certainly be interested.

well i must say, handicap in internet speed, and young people not committed enough to work severely handicaps the IT industry here.

sad but true.

Entrepreneurship has lost itself in middle class and upper class young bloods thus being supplanted by “migration” :)
