I'm from this state and staying closs to the Factory. All the points mentioned in the article is true
Foxconn will never achieve their chinese efficiency here because unlike IT industries manufacturing based ones have many unions which try to fight for workers right.
Most of the plant assembly workers are atleast graduate. Many upwards of 80% know English and they wont be able to work 12 hours straight, as many of their peers are just working 8 to 9 hours per day in other IT industriers.
The pay is really low compared to lucrative IT, so most of the womens working here aged 21 - 26 won't work here after their marriage. So you have constant pool is skilled employees leaving each year and their is a constant need to train new set of employees.
So unless makes a new strategy for their Indian factories instead of trying to replicate the same from china, these problems will remain the same
I don't think "iphone assembler" and "software engineer" are really hiring from the same talent pool, that doesn't make sense.
Software engineer isn't the only part of IT. It's a small part
Your first statement is correct; your second statement is incorrect, considering that large portions of electronic hardware are computer electronic hardware, and almost all modern computer electronic hardware doesn't work without software^(1).
