The new black gold of India

In my opinion, Rahul writes with better clarity than about 80% of America’s high school graduates and probably with better structure than I do.

He’s a professional and does quite well in an industry that the STC India figures show has consistently increased in wage by 20 - 30% between surveys.

From Rahul Prabhakar - when the muse strikes!: the new black gold of India

According to Prabhakar, Bangalore is the frontrunner amongst all Indian cities working on technical writing ’simply because most (technology-related) multinationals are based there’.

‘With no university courses, technical writers in India are left to the wolves. They are made to learn the ropes on their own,’ laments Prabhakar. But despite the lack of training possibilities, ‘India’s participation in the world of technical writing is something that everyone is talking about.’

I’ll be looking into trends of how the technical writing pipeline differs in India than in North America with later posts. Suffice to say, I think that there is real competition coming from India and it’s going to have an impact globally.
