Embracing Global Tech Talent in Outsourcing

I haven't really, like, obviously, I can't talk about every region in the world because I don't have experience. Like, obviously, there's a vast amount of tech talent in India, for example, and we actually have very, quite a large number of Indian nationals working in our Bangkok team, but I've never had a team in India. So I don't know. I mean, I know it's pretty big and stuff like that. I've obviously had experience in Ukraine through personal relationships. I've also experienced teams in Bulgaria.

I'm hearing a lot of US companies having great success in South America, Latin America, but like, I mean, I can only really talk from my own experiences, but I think the world is full of much more talent than maybe a lot of the West realizes.
