What is the author trying to convey through the phrase "India's IT sector is undertaking some globalization of its own"?

  • A.India has usurped America's position as the leader in IT.
  • B.The Indian IT sector is competing with other emerging nations for American business.
  • C.The Indian IT sector is considering outsourcing to developing economies.
  • D.Indian IT firms are engaging in expanding their presence internationally.

Answer: D

The author is conveying that Indian IT firms are engaging in expanding their presence internationally.

The sentence opens a passage about the 'outsourcing giants' that are 'aggressively expanding beyond their usual stomping grounds into the developing world; setting up programming centres, chasing new clients and hiring local talent'. Having been created by the globalization of the American economy, the sector now spreads out itself, which is what 'some globalization of its own' means.

The other options misread it. India has not taken the leading position from the US: the US still supplies 60% of export revenue. The firms are not competing with other emerging nations for American business, since they are going into those nations to find new customers. And they are not 'considering outsourcing' to developing economies, because they are setting up operations and hiring locals there.
