Success Quote by Sanjay Kumar

Offshoring gets sold as strategy, but Kumar frames it as something closer to a magic trick: slice costs by over 50% and watch the balance sheet look suddenly virtuous. The phrasing is doing a lot of quiet persuasion. “There are companies” is a classic business-world dodge - not a commitment, not a benchmark, not even a case study you can interrogate. It’s anecdotal authority dressed up as a trend line, inviting you to join the winners without asking hard questions about how those savings are achieved.

The real intent is to normalize a particular corporate reflex: treat labor and location as levers to pull, not communities to negotiate with. By anchoring the claim in a big, clean number, Kumar turns a messy set of tradeoffs into a headline. “Cutting their costs” sounds hygienic, almost responsible; it steers attention away from what’s being cut in human terms: local jobs, wage growth, institutional knowledge, the informal glue that makes teams work.

Context matters because offshoring is rarely just about cheaper labor. It’s also about arbitrage in regulation, taxes, time zones, and bargaining power. The subtext is an investor-friendly morality play: discipline beats sentimentality. And that’s why it works rhetorically - it offers a simple, repeatable justification (“everyone’s doing it, and it’s huge”) that preemptively reframes criticism as naive or anti-competitive rather than as a legitimate debate about who bears the costs of corporate efficiency.
