Mumbai, India — Executives of the Indian outsourcing giant Wipro love Lou Dobbs.

That's ironic because the CNN anchor's been a critic of the outsourcing of American jobs. But all that attention has turned out to be a good thing for Bangalore-based Wipro.

"Lou Dobbs, he's the best salesman of the Indian (technology) industry," Sudip Banerjee said Thursday. "He saves us millions of dollars in advertising costs. We love him."

Even negative spin regarding Wipro wound up benefiting the company and actually boosted Wipro's sales. That's according to Banerjee, president of enterprise solutions, in a talk Thursday to members of Minnesota's trade mission to India. The group later toured Wipro world headquarters in the Keonics Electronics City office park in Bangalore.

1. Dobbs

Is a total asshole, and gets worse as he is confronted by facts.He's not as smart as he thinks he is, but will keep anything going as long as the money keeps rolling in.TV is a wastland, where many are shown,but few are bright and right
