Yeah, his message is confusing. It sounds like what he wants to say is "don't outsource to indian development shops, outsource to us instead"

What his company does is outsourcing. He works / runs and outsourcing shop. He might be good at it (or not), but that doesn't change what he is. It's like saying "don't eat hamburgers they're gross, instead enjoy our patented meat-between-two-buns product!"

Semantic quibbling. He's saying, don't go the usual route to a foreign nation/language/currency/export/timezone cluster. Instead hire a local agency that will work with you closely. Its a legitimate issue. My own contracting company calls is 'Domestic Outsourcing' because the word outsourcing comes with so much baggage.

Oh, and we do the work ourselves. No six-pack of random developers hacking away.
