* Source of FDI
* Helps tackle the problem of poverty and mass unemployment
* Provides financial independence and avenues of sustenance
women esp in some rural areas.(eg of a company which
hires women from rural rajasthan only).
* Promotes english as a lingua franca not just in the global sense but also for people from different parts of our country.
Nayes
* Promotes a culture of westernization and consumerism
* Creates a work culture of hiring and firing
* Diverts the youngsters from focussing on further education and towards other careers with the lure of quick money.
* Affects the biological cycle of employees as work demands long hours at night at most places
* Take 'pride' in our national languages and culture more than just the knowledge of english as the benchmark
* It affects the social and family life of employees.
* Creates a negative ripple effect on other sectors of society.
* Makes us increasing mechanical in our approach to life as one is expected to behave mechanically at work without any reactions to racial and other taunts.
