I have been working in India & US for the past 9 years in Offshore Development and my advice would be to start the center in Pune. There are various reasons. Primary reason being the availability of resources who have good communication skills, secondly promixity to the Pune Airport/ Mumbai Airport. Excellent infrastructure in Pune and the climate in Pune. I am myself thinking of joining some like minded Software professionals to start an Offshore Development Center. My email id is [e-mail]

It would be good to have this started in Noida, place near delhi, which is very good for IT and coming up very well, Resources will not be a problem there.
