India and IT..(Has India achieved in IT)...Not really...



India and Information Technology (two sides of a coin) according to rest of the world..All magazines and news portray India as a global IT super power..But honestly speaking its not actually true..I can augument this topic with many examples...Having worked in Indian software Industry for close to two years gives me a clear indication whats actually happening in Indian Software Industry...

Just imagine a situation when there is no concept called outsourcing...imagine when US says no more outsourcing...I cant even think how many software engineers can retain their job in India...the reason for that is...the majority of the people dont work in product development..majority of the workforce are given low-end jobs but its called software development .))Whats achievement in IT...How many Operating Systems,how many licensing software comes from India...Hardly a few...Just employing hundreds and hundreds of IT professionals for consultancy work for cheap prices doesnt mean we have achieved in IT...Honestly speaking,how many companies in India does core software development work starting from kernel...(except few)...

Just application development,fixing bugs,maintaining the code developed by US guys doesnt mean we have achieved in IT...How much of research is going on for Computer Science..Baring few IIT's and IISc's I would say NIL...No doubt we have a strong young IT force when compared to other countries...but the question is how it is utilized ?
