This is the reason why we don’t have even a single company at present or in making in India with the touch of Google,Microsoft, Apple,Pixar,Dreamworks.
Everyone is happy with the outsourced work....damn!! ...they are not in the Technology industry but in the service industry ,building products on the technologies developed by biggies..
Can’t name a single Software like iphone,windows,ms office made by an Indian company apart from the clones which pop up now and then!!

Oh Common .. you are just pissed, cause you are a startup yourself.
Plz, im not from the IT industry, but even then can say that this is a load of crap.
You are a respectable company .. and honestly I think that blogs like these mislead the public.
Im not denying that these companies are all saints, but they have done a lot for india, and that cant be degraded by calling then Evil !

Sir,
i dont belive its the problem with the IT companies exploting local talent. We have manpower, skilled manpower and we have to make use of it. There is a oppurtunity to make use by billing them for some IT work.
I have been in IT for past 6 years, yes i have been on bench ON and OFF regularly. But there have also been times when i worked more than i should have. There was no labour law in india from protecting me from that exploitation then. I make money for the company and they give me same fixed sal.
About lack of start up firms in india, well i very much agree to that. I just want to share my experience, when i has in india. Two times i had the idea of new startup(one of them was on mobile applications,google has the enitre array of them now), i remember approaching so many people with my idea. I was 23 that time and not that smart as i am now, and i needed some support. I had 2 applicaitons running on a cell phone and a 10 page document on what my business idea was.
A friend of mine in US, has launched a product. That measures heartbeats and tells you the best time to wakeup, its a iphone application. He is 24, he could do everything with his friends/finances/university support/family.
I think the difference is more than wat we feel, how can the same India go to US and be more innivative.

While there is some truth in what you ve portrayed, but I guess, the entrepreneur or innovator makes his way out of all the odds.The guy who left you because he was lured by a friend on the bench should better remain on the bench.
I think, the Indian outsourcing industry has changed the face of the country and the middle class.
To affect the power of an entrepreneur is impossible. Have my hopes on the country alive.

I believe language of this article is bit harsh, but still it is showing true face Indian outsourcing industry.
When any outsourcing company hires fresh graduates, I believe there is no need to take interviews. Because after joining they will be either on bench or doing something which even 12th pass student can do.
At the same time we must understand that it can not affect the power of an entrepreneur. Those who are strong enough to be entrepreneur will always find their way out. outsourcing industry can not really block their way , but is this industry making best use of the talent ? is the main question !!!
I think rather than just thinking of making money by outsourcing services, our industry must find out innovative ways to make more money and profit. Rather than just filling up bank accounts and making better version of balance sheet every year, we must focus on investing money in R & D. That is the only way how current IT industry in India can sustain in future.
The thing that Indian outsourcing Industry has forgotten that we have seen growth in the business because we are providing best of the resources at the lowest cost, which may not be possible after 5 years, and then no company would be able to sustain just as a service industry.
