Inter-firm Rivalry High Lower Entry barriers in the industry have led to high concentration in the industry. Bargaining Power of Buyers Increasing With availability of multiple vendors, Buyers have a lot of choice and this has led to pressures on the billing rates. Threat from Substitutes - Increasing Emerging economies like China, Brazil and Russia can be the substitute places for offshoring taking away the India advantage to certain extent.
