Acclaimed Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas described it a masterpiece of experimental architecture. Singaporeans were drawn to it for its atmosphere and the abundance of cheap Thai food. For Thais living in Singapore, it was a home away from home.

Golden Mile Complex, also known as Little Thailand, was sold in 2021 to a consortium which will redevelop the building. As it has been gazetted as a conserved building by the Urban Redevelopment Authority, its physical structure is likely to be preserved. However, the same cannot be said for its unique character. Its tenants – a mix of inexpensive Thai eateries, seedy bars and tiny shops selling Thai perishables – were given until May 2023 to move out. Now that they have dispersed, they are unlikely to return.

As an era in the building’s history ends, it is timely to look back at its history, which goes back five decades.

Building Golden Mile Complex

Officially opened on 28 January 1972, Golden Mile Complex was an urban renewal project by the government to “redevelop and rejuvenate the slum-ridden areas in the Singapore city centre”.1 In the 1960s, the site was home to squatter settlements, small-time furniture and rattan makers, and the Kampong Glam Community Centre.2

In June 1967, then Minister for Law and National Development E.W. Barker announced that the area would be one of 14 urban redevelopment projects which would be transformed – resulting in modern skyscrapers, luxury apartments, hotels and shops – to give rise to a “new look Singapore”. These projects would involve the participation of private enterprises.3

Singapura Developments won the tender for the three-acre site that would eventually host Golden Mile Complex with a proposal for a building by the architecture firm Design Partnership (now known as DP Architects), which was then helmed by William S.W. Lim, Tay Kheng Soon and Koh Seow Chuan. The three men had convinced Singapura Developments to bid for the site in May 1969, offering the unusual proposition for a single building that would integrate shops, offices and apartments. Although the concept differed sharply from the government’s original proposal for luxury apartments on the plot, Lim, Tay and another architect, Gan Eng Oon, proved their design could work with an economic feasibility study that included precisely calculated land and sale prices.4

The all-in-one design of Golden Mile Complex marked a significant shift from how city planners in Singapore then traditionally segregated areas into different zones for “live, work, play”. In fact, it embodied Lim’s vision for “megastructures” that would contain all the functions of a city within a building, which he believed to be the future of Asian cities.

“We must reject outdated planning principles that seek to segregate man’s activities into arbitrary zones, no matter how attractive it may look in ordered squares on a land use map. We must reject arbitrary standards laid down that limit the intensive use of land,” said Lim and Tay as part of an essay for the Singapore Planning and Urban Research Group that was published in Asia Magazine in 1966.5 This vision was realised in Golden Mile Complex: a concrete megastructure that became one of the earliest mixed-use developments in Singapore and Asia.6

In January 1970, Singapura Developments began marketing the property and declared that “The Golden Mile Race Is On”. All 64 apartments were snapped up within a month, and most of the offices and shops were sold by the time building works commenced in May 1970.7

The building was originally named Woh Hup Complex, after the parent company of Singapura Developments. Rising 16 storeys, the edifice was designed in the Brutalist style popular in Europe and North America from the 1950s to the 1970s.8 It was constructed in a stepped terraced design held up by two end pillars that each adorned a star logo by Singapore’s leading graphic designer William Lee.9 Such a facade maximised waterfront views for the 64 apartments and maisonette penthouses spread across the topmost seven floors.

The next six floors housed 210 offices and studios to complete the tower that was seemingly pried apart in the middle. This sheltered a residential play deck facing Beach Road on the 10th storey while letting in natural light and ventilation into the office corridors and a three-storey podium. The latter comprised 360 shops that sat atop a basement carpark for 550 vehicles.

Completing the facilities was a four-storey residential car park at one end of the building that was topped with an open-air swimming pool overlooking the former Crawford Park. All these different functions were connected by corridors, including a “street” that ran through the podium of shops. The result was an interiorised environment designed to “encourage human interaction and intensify public life”.10

A Hub of Modernity

Woh Hup Complex was part of a pioneering wave of shopping centres to open in Singapore in the early 1970s, along with People’s Park Complex in Chinatown and Tanglin Shopping Centre and Specialists’ Centre in the Orchard Road area.

Like many of the complexes built then, Woh Hup Complex was also a strata-titled development. This form of property ownership was introduced by the government in 1968 to allow individual owners to have a share of a land. It allowed property developers to quickly recoup their investment by tapping on a pool of buyers, and also enabled individuals to participate in the on-going modernisation of Singapore.11

Woh Hup Complex offered shop lots in various sizes, starting from a 144-square-foot lot for just $16,500.12 The prices were lower compared to other shopping centres because the complex was at the city centre fringe. But its developer remained bullish about its prospects. “We offer easy parking, no frayed nerves while coming up here,” said T.M. Yong, a director at Singapura Developments. “Our shop owners will most probably be able to offer goods at lower prices.”13 The earliest tenants in the complex were an eclectic mix of shoe retailers, beauty salons, photo studios, furniture suppliers, travel agents, eateries, restaurants and nightclubs.14

As one of the first buildings to offer modern office spaces in Singapore, Woh Hup Complex attracted many businesses too. Singapura Developments and its parent company Woh Hup as well as Design Partnership set up offices in the building.15 The complex also became known for its many architecture and engineering firms, including OD Architects who were conceiving the masterplan for the National University of Singapore’s Kent Ridge campus, Cardew and Rider Engineers who were working with Design Partnership on Marina Square, and several engineering firms involved in the construction of Singapore’s up-and-coming Mass Rapid Transit network.16

But a decade after the complex opened, there were complaints of interrupted water supply, faulty air-conditioning and lifts, leaking roofs, rotting ceiling boards, rubbish piling up along the corridors, and broken or missing lights.17 These were reported after Woh Hup exited the property market and sold Singapura Developments along with its properties to City Developments in 1981.18 Woh Hup Complex was then renamed Golden Mile Complex.

The Rise of “Little Thailand”

By the mid-1980s, many of the building professionals had moved their offices elsewhere and Golden Mile Complex became better known as the haunt of foreign construction workers, specifically those from Thailand.

After work, particularly on Sundays and public holidays, homesick Thai workers thronged Golden Mile Complex to drink Singha beer, catch up on news back home by reading Thai newspapers, and listen to Thai music on cassette tapes. The draw for most was the various eateries selling Thai food at reasonable prices on the ground floor. Not only did these establishments serve food just like home, they served them on tables and chairs “scattered in front of food shops” or along the corridors and the concourse – just “[like] a street corner in Haadyai or Bangkok”.19

Golden Mile Complex was also the terminal for tour buses plying the Singapore-Haadyai route operated by travel agencies located in the complex and the neighbouring Golden Mile Tower. As the Thai clientele in the complex grew, it became referred to as “Little Bangkok” and “Little Thailand”.20 The Thai community injected new life into what was then a rapidly ageing Golden Mile Complex, and attracted even more shops to serve the community. A tailor in the complex reportedly expanded from one shop to seven to sell all things Thai, while a “100% genuine Thai style” disco named Pattaya opened in 1988 on the second floor.21 There was even a 50-seat “cinema” that screened kick-boxing specials and Thai features at $3 a ticket.22

In 1986, the Straits Times reported that Golden Mile Complex “would be a ghost town but for the office workers, who appear at lunch time, and the Thais, who have made it their haunt”. Dorothy, a secretary working in an architecture firm in the complex, told the Straits Times: “Before the Thais started coming here about four years ago, the place was very dead. Now, it’s sometimes so noisy that you get a headache.” Because fights would occasionally break out, she was not a fan of the place. “For Thai food, I’d rather go to Joo Chiat,” she added.23 Her sentiments were shared by many other Singaporeans who avoided Golden Mile Complex on Sundays.

As one shopowner explained: “Our Sunday business has been hit. Some customers stay away because of the Thai character of the place.” A food stall operator added: “The Thais linger for hours, drinking beer and eating their favourite beef noodles. Sometimes, they fight among themselves over a few drinks.”24

It did not help that migrant workers and the complex were often in the news for the wrong reasons. As part of the government’s massive crackdown on illegal migrants in March 1989, 370 suspected Thai undocumented workers at Golden Mile Complex were nabbed in a single operation.25

National Icon or National Disgrace?

In 1994, Rem Koolhaas visited Singapore and marvelled at its development in his seminal essay “Singapore Songlines”. He was particularly captivated by Golden Mile Complex and People’s Park Complex, which he praised as “‘masterpieces’ of experimental architecture/urbanism”.26 On his next visit to Singapore in 2005, Koolhaas said: “These buildings were not intended to be landmarks but became landmarks. Yesterday, I went to see all the buildings again, and they are absolutely stunning, radical and amazing.”27

While Koolhaas and many in the architecture fraternity saw Golden Mile Complex as the future, most Singaporeans regarded it as a relic of the past. By the 1990s, a slew of new shopping centres had sprung up near the complex, including Raffles City, Bugis Junction, Suntec City, Millenia Walk and Marina Square. Many felt Golden Mile Complex and other strata-title malls were simply no match for these single-owner developments that could plan a more attractive retail mix to woo shoppers.28 A 1996 article in the Straits Times assessed that Golden Mile Complex was unlikely to change because of its ownership structure and should simply “fill [the] low-end gap”.29

The disconnect between Golden Mile Complex’s celebrated architecture and its decline came to a head in 2006. During a parliamentary session on 6 March, then Nominated Member of Parliament Ivan Png called it a “vertical slum”. He was particularly irked by how each individual owner had added “extensions, zinc sheets, patched floors, glass, all without any regard for other owners and without any regard for national welfare”, resulting in “a terrible eyesore and a national disgrace”.

“The appearance of Golden Mile Complex appals me whenever I drive along Nicoll Highway. It must create a terrible impression on foreign visitors arriving from the airport. How can we be a world-class city in a garden? The Golden Mile Complex is just the most extreme of how a strata-title property can deteriorate,” he said.30

This came just after Golden Mile Complex was featured in Singapore 1:1 – City, a publication showcasing significant architecture and urban design in the city-state.31 “That’s a real joke!” said Png. “Can you imagine if that thing was standing on the Singapore River between OCBC Building and UOB Centre?” He added: “It just gives me goosebumps. It’s so close to the city, yet it’s so unlike Singapore – orderly, tidy, everything neat. It’ll drag us down.”32

Not everyone agreed with his criticism. Retiree Evelyn Ong, who moved into the complex in 2005, immediately booked her 11-storey apartment after seeing the breathtaking views. She said: “Once I stepped in and saw the view, I said book, book, must book.” She bought her 1,000-square-foot apartment for about $310,000, and spent about $70,000 on renovations to make it look like a holiday resort. “I think I’m very lucky. It’s so difficult to find such a nice view. Every day, I sit here (at my balcony) and I can see the beautiful lights at night.” She agreed that more could be done to spruce up the building though.33

The local architecture fraternity pushed back against Png’s comments. In August 2006, Calvin Low, a trained architect and journalist, kickstarted a monthly series on local architecture in the Straits Times and titled his first article “Golden Mile Still Shines”.

“The architectural thesis that GMC [Golden Mile Complex] represented was revolutionary – not just for Singapore but globally, too. It stood as a concrete realisation of the architects’ vision of a futuristic city-within-a-building that offered a whole, new integrated way of living in a modern, tropical, urban Asian context,” he wrote.34

In November the same year, a collective of architects, designers and artists known as FARM launched “Save the Modern Building Series”, a lineup of talks to raise awareness of the complex and other pioneering modern buildings such as Pearl Bank Apartments.35 In November 2007, the inaugural architecture festival, Singapore ArchiFest 07 – organised by the Singapore Institute of Architects to celebrate Singapore’s built environment – featured tours of the complex conducted by architecture students from the National University of Singapore.36

A Landmark Saved, a Community Lost

In August 2018, news broke that more than 80 percent of the owners of units in the complex had agreed to put the building up for an en bloc sale at $800 million. This came hot on the heels of the sale of another modernist icon, Pearl Bank Apartments,37 just six months earlier. Heritage and architectural experts were dismayed at the news. “It will be a tragedy and a great loss to Singapore if the en-bloc sale results in the demolition and redevelopment of such an important urban landmark with such high architectural and social significance,” said heritage conservation expert Ho Weng Hin.38

Although architects and academics petitioned for Golden Mile Complex to be conserved, residents were in two minds about it. The complex’s long-time residents confessed they could no longer keep up with the building’s maintenance needs. “The problem is that it’s an old building, and when it rains, the water seeps through some of the walls. The building has water-proofing issues,” said Ponno Kalastree, who had lived and worked there since 1989. He was among those who had voted for the sale and was planning to downgrade to a Housing and Development Board flat, but admitted that he would miss the place.39

To the surprise of many, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) told the Business Times in October 2018 that they have “assessed the building to have heritage value, and is in the process of engaging the stakeholders to explore options to facilitate conservation”. “Modern architecture, dating from our recent past, is a significant aspect of our built heritage, and we have selectively conserved a number of such buildings. Where there is strong support and merits for conservation, we will work with the relevant stakeholders to facilitate the process,” said the URA. This meant that the existing building could be retained while a new block would be added next to it.40

The tender closed in January the following year without any offer, and a second tender launched just two months later with the same terms and price tag of $800 million suffered the same fate.41

Almost one year after the two failed collective sales, the URA announced in October 2020 that it was officially proposing Golden Mile Complex to be conserved in light of its historical and architectural significance.42 When it was gazetted a year later in October 2021, Golden Mile Complex became the “first modern, large-scale strata-titled development to be conserved in Singapore”.43

The owners relaunched an en bloc sale in December that year at the same price of $800 million.44 This time, the sale was successful and the complex was sold in May 2022 to a consortium comprising Far East Organization, Sino Land and Perennial Holdings. Although their bid was $100 million lower than the reserve price, the owners agreed to the sale within “a record time of 15 days”.45

At the point of publishing this essay, the new owners have yet to reveal how they plan to redevelop Golden Mile Complex, though it is unlikely that any of the former tenants will return. The battle to conserve Golden Mile Complex has, ironically, cost the community who kept it alive when others moved on to swankier new buildings. But all, however, is not lost. The redevelopment of Golden Mile Complex could serve as a model for how other similar buildings in Singapore can be conserved and enjoy a new lease of life for the future.

On July 18, the U.S. Commerce Department added two European commercial spyware firms—Cytrox and Intellexa—to its export controls blacklist due to privacy violations and other rights abuses. Both entities are controlled by former Israeli intelligence officer Tal Dilian and registered in multiple European jurisdictions, including Greece, Hungary, Ireland, and North Macedonia. They have been implicated in a variety of wrongdoings, including a major scandal in Greece, where Cytrox’s Predator software was used to hack journalists’ and opposition politicians’ phones.

The blacklisting is not a one-off. In fact, it represents a continuing effort by the U.S. government to curb the commercial spyware industry. The designation of the two companies is the first major initiative on spyware since U.S. President Joe Biden signed an executive order in March that limits federal agencies’ use of commercial spyware, and it sends a clear message that selling high-grade surveillance products to abusive governments will have consequences. Cytrox and Intellexa’s designation on the entity list imposes severe licensing requirements on the companies, effectively banning them from transactions with U.S. companies and accessing the U.S. market.

Getting to this point has been a struggle. The global spyware industry is a lucrative business; both governments and private actors have shown an insatiable appetite for targeted surveillance products. According to my research, at least 74 governments around the world have contracted with commercial firms to acquire spyware or data extraction technology.

The web of companies supplying these products is diverse. Although Israeli companies dominate the global export of spyware, European and U.S. companies are active market participants as well. Companies at the top end of the spyware market—such as Cytrox, Intellexa, and NSO Group, the Israeli market leader under U.S. sanctions since 2021—offer cutting-edge tools, including so-called zero-click hacks. These are malware programs that infiltrate devices without the user having to take any action to allow it in, such as opening an email or clicking on a bad link.

Although many of the abuses are linked to authoritarian regimes, such as the Saudi and Emirati governments’ reported use of NSO’s Pegasus malware to track the journalist Jamal Khashoggi before his assassination, democracies do not have clean hands, either. European countries such as Cyprus, Greece, and Spain have deployed spyware against civil society, independent journalists, and opposition politicians, as have illiberal democracies such as Hungary.

That is why U.S. leadership in reining in the spyware industry is such welcome news. Quite simply, few other countries have shown much interest in taking on commercial spyware firms, despite a parade of public scandals revealing major rights violations. The Biden administration started pursuing a measured strategy against spyware violators in 2021, when the Commerce Department put four spyware firms in Israel, Russia, and Singapore on its list of sanctioned entities, including NSO. Then, Biden signed the executive order in March of this year. In parallel, the United States also signed a joint declaration with 10 other countries against the misuse of spyware and establishing procedures to counter malicious cyberactivities. With this month’s blacklisting, the White House is sending another signal that it means business when it comes to reining in spyware abuses.

Yet for Washington’s actions to truly make a dent in the commercial spyware market, it needs other countries to join the fight—starting with Europe. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the two penalized spyware firms are based there. While most European countries have tough rules on the books to regulate spyware, enforcement has been lax. My research shows that a number of European spyware firms sell intrusive surveillance technology in their home markets and overseas, including Italy’s Memento Labs and Tykelab/RCS Lab, as well as Austria’s DSIRF. Moreover, European governments continue to deploy spyware to unlawfully surveil their citizens. This includes a major scandal in Spain targeting Catalan independence leaders and politicians, as well as reported abuses by Hungarian and Polish authorities. In a draft report submitted by Sophie in ‘t Veld, rapporteur for the European Parliament’s Committee of Inquiry to investigate the use of Pegasus and other spyware (PEGA), she writes that “the abuse of spyware is a severe violation of all the values of the European Union, and it is testing the resilience of the democratic rule of law in Europe.”

So what can be done? First, the European Commission could do far more to address the spyware problem within the EU. Currently, the European Parliament is the only pan-European institution tackling this problem, but it lacks executive power and faces roadblocks at every turn. Very little will change unless the EU undertakes a more serious institutional push to break through obstructionism by EU member states. The commission has so far refrained from pressuring member governments to tighten their policies, highlighting Brussels’s limited ability or interest in fighting the problem. It would make a big difference if the commission sent a clear signal that cracking down on spyware is a priority. There is little reason the EU could not take steps similar to those implemented by the United States.

Second, democracies can be far more stringent when it comes to curbing their own use of spyware. Despite public scandals, democratic governments continue to show interest in acquiring intrusive surveillance tools. A good example is India: Just three days after Biden signed his March executive order on spyware, the Financial Times reported that Modi’s government had released a $120 million bid for new spyware contracts. Notably, Indian officials were concerned about the “PR problem” from NSO’s Pegasus and were looking for alternative companies from which to purchase surveillance capabilities. While preventing autocratic leaders from obtaining spyware is a formidable challenge, there are far fewer excuses for democratic governments to be using these tools, whether that’s in Greece, India, Mexico, or Spain. Citizens in democracies should demand better behavior out of their governments, especially when it comes to unlawfully deploying surveillance tools against journalists and civil society. Also needed is diplomatic pressure against culpable governments. In the case of Intellexa and Cytrox, the United States and its partners may not have significant leverage to wield against Hungary, where one of the Cytrox companies is based, but pressure could be exerted against other countries hosting these firms and their various entities. Already, there are reports that in response to Intellexa’s listing, the company’s Irish auditor has resigned.

Third, it is important not to overlook the Israel angle. Many notorious spyware firms are connected to Israel’s security establishment. Dilian, for example, cut his teeth working as a commander for the Israeli Defense Forces’ Unit 81, a crucible of advanced military technology responsible for developing intelligence products for special operations units and other defense agencies. Israel is a major hub and protector of the spyware industry. When other countries attempt to probe Israeli firms, they are often stonewalled. In July, a Spanish judge investigating the alleged hacking of ministers’ phones with Pegasus spyware was forced to close the court’s inquiry “due to the complete lack of legal cooperation from Israel.” There is no reason the Israeli government cannot follow the United States’ lead and enforce more stringent standards on non-military applications, rein in exports, and crack down on unaccountable companies. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s upcoming visit to the White House is a good opportunity for U.S. officials to have a candid conversation about regulating abusive surveillance practices and the next steps each country can take.

The White House’s export control designation of Cytrox and Intellexa should be commended. It reinforces the administration’s ongoing commitment to curbing spyware violations. But the United States should not be forced to act alone: Europe, Israel, and other jurisdictions should follow the Biden administration’s lead and take meaningful steps to restrict the behavior of mercenary spyware firms.

No Deposit Renting Guide for Singapore Residents

In recent years, no-deposit renting has become more popular in Singapore. This method lets tenants rent without a deposit. It helps avoid the usual large security payments, which are often 1-2 months of rent. With living costs going up, many are looking for affordable rental no-deposit deals.

This guide will explore the different types of deposit-free rent in Singapore. It will help meet the growing demand, as seen by PropertyGuru and other sources. I want to give you key information on how these rentals work, their benefits, and any possible challenges in this changing rental market.

Understanding No Deposit Renting Options

In Singapore, many people find no deposit renting appealing. It's great for those who can't save for a big upfront payment. Landlords outside big property firms often offer more flexibility, not sticking to strict deposit rules.

Initiatives like “Rent Now, Pay Later” make no upfront deposits even better. Real estate companies offer payment plans that help renters manage their money. Knowing about these plans is key for those looking at no deposit options.

It's also important to understand the legal side of no-deposit leases. The Ministry of National Development and the Housing and Development Board have rules. These rules help renters know their rights and duties and help avoid problems.

No deposit renting makes the rental market in Singapore more open. It helps people with different financial situations. By exploring these options, renters can find deals that fit their needs.

Navigating the No Deposit Lease Market in Singapore

Looking for a no deposit lease in Singapore can be both rewarding and challenging. I start by checking out reputable property platforms. These sites specialize in rentals that don't require a deposit. They help me compare and research different options before deciding.

When I look at rental agreements, I make sure they really mean no deposit. I check the contract details for any hidden fees. Spotting these early can avoid future problems.

It's also key to talk openly with landlords or property managers. Discussing what we both expect helps clear up any confusion. Being open and honest builds trust, making the renting process smoother.

The Evolution of Engineering Outsourcing: Past, Present, and Future.

Core engineering practices with the support of outsourcing partners have been able to focus on remote product development very effectively. The dedicated involvement of the engineering service providers has been very successful in meeting the needs of the engineering firms. The outsourcing partners have been able to manage even the core activities when required because of a well-established industry-wide collaboration framework that combines the role and expertise of OEMs, suppliers, and pure software players. The changing needs and an abundance of outsourcing opportunities have resulted in newer players within the ecosystem. With OEMs looking to outsource core activities, outsourcing organizations are moving forward to enhance their capabilities by investing in tools, processes, and innovation. This constantly evolving environment is bolstered by the growing emphasis and investment in R&D and innovation.

PAST

After World War II certain developments made business more global from local. The first use of outsourcing in recent history was in the 1950s with time sharing lasting about 25 years. As technology continued to advance, so did new outsourcing ideas. One major consulting firm Arthur Anderson in the last century invented remote management services. This allows a customer’s systems, networks, and applications to be monitored and managed remotely from a network operation center (NOC). The customer was assured of good service through the implementation of so-called Service Level Agreements (SLAs). New models of outsourcing came about in the late 1980s and 1990s with the profound leap in Internet technology and software. Initially, companies used to outsource the areas to specialize in which they found less important and put their resources in those areas that were more important. Most of the outsourced IT jobs in the USA are from India. There may be many reasons for which one could be that India has higher education that promotes and practices. Emphasis was given to work –experience, vocationalization, improvements in scientific and technological education, and research to improve productivity. This brought India to become a player on the world stage. This has helped to build a labor force that can send workers to foreign lands. This has also allowed many multinational companies to be established on Indian soil so that our skilled personnel can provide their service at a very economical rate.

Germany had many trade schools called Gewerbesculen that fused technology and management, while also having technical schools, Technische Hochshulen. At the University level, science and research were the primary focus, with cutting-edge experiments conducted that made their system “the world’s envy and model.” The Germans were not innovating by trial and error but were authenticating it using scientific methods for improvement. Higher education could be the very same reason for Germany to dominate the electricity and chemical industry.

The United States founded its technical universities after it passed its Land Grant Act in 1862 during the Civil War. Most of the new schools had specialties in agriculture and mining, providing the scientific basis for improvement and help to the business community. Most of the new schools had specialties in agriculture and mining, providing the scientific basis for improvement and help to the business community.

PRESENT

According to Gartner, a marketing firm, India is currently an undisputed leader in offshore outsourcing services. India accounts for 70% of the total offshore revenue, and a vast number of trained IT professionals. Other countries like Bangladesh, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, and Malaysia have been progressing greatly as outsourcing partners.

The legacy of the British Raj which has become a boon to Indian workers has been the strong emphasis on English proficiency. The Indian education system also fosters strong skills in mathematics and science. A good proportion of students go for further education and skilled human power. So all these could be many of the reasons for India to be a hot spot for outsourcing.

Furthermore, India offers a tax-friendly environment; it has a separate Ministry of Information Technology to look into IT-related matters; IT has become an integral part of the national agenda. Telecom bandwidth in India is over-provisioned and easily accessible to IT industries. The natural time difference between India and the US and Europe is easily exploited to allow a longer working day. Outsourcing to India is also very attractive because of the convenience of umbrella organizations in Indian firms. They handle almost all their business requirements at one stop which has hardware and software integration and call centers.

FUTURE

According to a survey conducted by Forrester about 3.3 million U.S. service industry jobs and $136 billion in wages will move offshore to countries like India, Bangladesh, Russia, China, Singapore, and the Philippines. It can be said that with the history of outsourcing and the sound economic theory of comparative advantage behind the outsourcing model, one is tempted to say that outsourcing is, in fact, inevitable. As firms that are already enjoying the benefits of outsourcing cut costs further, competitors in the U.S. and elsewhere will be forced to follow suit.

The Engineering Outsourcing Industry is undergoing a significant transformation in this fast-paced and interconnected world. Companies across have realized the great potential of outsourcing engineering tasks to meet their project demands. A number of factors are responsible for shaping this industry’s landscape and having an innovative approach to the engineering areas.

1. An expanding and bullish economy

The future of the global engineering outsourcing market, with a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of approximately 25% is on an upward trajectory. In 2021, it was valued at $429.4 billion and is expected to exceed $750 billion by 2027.

2. Cost cuttings

One of the primary driving factors for outsourcing engineering tasks is an overall reduction in cost. It is estimated that companies can save up to as much as 40% on operational costs when outsourced. This includes lower labor and infrastructure expenses, making it a financially attractive option.

3. Ensuring good quality

It is a misconception that outsourcing engineering compromises quality. This misconception has been statistically proven that 78% of organizations reported that the quality of work outsourced met or exceeded their expectations.

4. Advances in technology

The engineering outsourcing industry has concurrently advanced with technological advances in other fields. 5G technology, AI, IoT, and data analytics have opened up new avenues for innovative solutions and increased demand for specialized skills.

5. International labor pool of workers

Engineering outsourcing is sending feelers to access a vast global talent pool. Companies would definitely take advantage of the talent by outsourcing. Fact say that about 62% of companies prefer offshore outsourcing to access the best engineering expertise.

6. Diversification of industries

Engineering outsourcing is not confined or restricted to one area. Aerospace, automotive, electronics, shipping, and more are all benefiting from this trend. Many other sectors of industries are turning to outsourcing for tailored solutions.

7. Environment conscious

Outsourcing has effectively used an eco-friendly approach. A reduction in office space has been a conscious effort to reduce the ecological footprint. It has also reduced commuting by air and road resulting in conserving energy another contribution to the reduction of carbon footprint thereby, aligning with the global push for eco-friendliness.

8. Not smooth sailing - challenges ahead

However, there are challenges to address. Data security, communication barriers, and the need to adapt to cultural differences are some concerns. Identifying them at the right time, providing suitable solutions, and being mindful is crucial.

9. Future Predictions

The future of engineering outsourcing is bright. The use of AI and robotics would increase. This would make repetitive tasks easier and more efficient. This will also bring in the need for automation and cyber security to a heightened level.

To sum it up, the Engineering Outsourcing Industry is undergoing a transformative journey. This journey promotes the accessing of talent pool not just locally but also globally. The optimization of technology along with environmental sustainability is the motto. The journey will not be smooth but the potential benefits are undeniable.

The engineering outsourcing industry has something to offer be it a business owner exploring outsourcing options or an engineer looking for exciting and challenging career opportunities. Needless to say, the journey is worth taking as per the statistics.

Hindenburg doubles down: Sebi chief Madhabi Buch's response now confirms…

Hindenburg Research escalated its feud with India’s stock market regulator Sebi and its chief, Madhabi Puri Buch, alleging conflicts of interest and fresh instances of financial impropriety tied to the Adani Group.

The US short-seller's fresh salvo soon after Sebi and Buch and her husband vehemently denied allegations of leniency towards business tycoon Gautam Adani and his group of companies. In a joint statement, the Buchs described the claims as "baseless allegations and insinuations" devoid of truth.

Hindenburg, which has been locked in a bitter public dispute with the conglomerate since publishing an explosive report alleging corporate malfeasance and stock manipulation in January last year, cited whistleblower documents to support its claims.

“Sebi Chairperson Madhabi Buch’s response to our report includes several important admissions and raises numerous new critical questions,” the firm said in a statement on X.

Pushing back against the Buchs' claims of no wrongdoing, Hindenburg alleged that their response to its report essentially confirms that they invested in an obscure Bermuda/Mauritius fund structure alongside money allegedly siphoned by Vinod Adani, the brother of Gautam Adani.

Vinesh's counsel also called for the need to keep the athlete's health over other considerations.

"She [Madhabi Buch] also confirmed the fund was run by a childhood friend of her husband, who at the time was an Adani director. Sebi was tasked with investigating investment funds relating to the Adani matter, which would include funds Ms Buch was personally invested in and funds by the same sponsor which were specifically highlighted in our original report. This is obviously a massive conflict of interest," the firm said.

The short-seller also accused Buch of maintaining active consulting firms while serving as Sebi chief. Questioning the transparency of Buch's consulting companies, which she set up during her time in Singapore, the firm noted that one of these companies, Agora Advisory Limited (India), was still 99 per cent owned by Buch and was generating revenue while she oversaw investigations into the Adani Group.

Hindenburg also alleged that Buch used her personal email for business dealings under her husband's name while serving as a Sebi Whole Time Member.

“Buch’s statement promised a ‘commitment to complete transparency’. Given this, will she publicly release the full list of consulting clients and details of the engagements, both through the offshore Singaporean consulting firm, the Indian consulting firm and any other entity she or her husband may have an interest in? Finally, will the Sebi Chairperson commit to a full, transparent and public investigation into these issues?” Hindenburg asked.

The Buchs and their associated firm, 360-One, denied any wrongdoing, asserting the fund in question never invested in Adani securities. They also maintained that the Buchs held a minor stake in the fund and had no influence over investment decisions.

Sebi, meanwhile, defended its handling of the Adani-Hindenburg matter, saying 23 of 24 investigations are complete, with one nearing closure. The market watchdog blamed the lengthy process on cumbersome enforcement procedures.

The regulator had also initiated its own proceedings against Hindenburg Research, accusing the New York-headquartered firm of misleading disclosures to profit from short selling.
