The outsourcing (or offshoring) of jobs to India has stirred up protectionist passions in the West, but it may also be stirring up other sorts of passions in India. If this report from Asian Sex Gazette is to be believed there has been an increase in office sex (article worksafe, ads on site possibly not):
… Lalit Tiwari, a former employee of Wipro Spectramind, "Sex happens on a large scale in call centres. However, people generally desist from such acts within the premises. This is because most of the BPO execs live alone as PGs or rent a house. At the most, in office, one gets to see arms around the waist/shoulder, two people hand-inhand or couples coochie-cooing in empty corridors."…
Why does it happen? When in Rome, do as the Romans do - this is exactly what seems to be the mantra of the BPO exec. So they are making a point of aping America - be it their lingo or lifestyle.
As Sanjay Shah of Daksh (name changed) says, "Execs want to portray a cool, modern attitude and for them it translates into blindly following the US, even in sexual mores." In other words, they believe in living life American ishtyle in every way.
