Consider how many countries are english speaking,the considering the hue and cry made by indian media on IT country,i probably think IT in india is non existant, In india a IT person is just a glorified clerk,nothing more.I have never come any products which has been developed in india. Innovation is rare here.You cannot say that a Call centre is IT,in that case every STD booth becomes a IT centre.The only earnering india has is bcoz of the english language and cheap labour,the west is exploiting that,while giving the false impression that india is IT super power.

anilkumar is correct. Indians are nothing more than cyber coolies doing low level drudge work.
One thing the Media missed here! Quality of products in India cannot be less than those of countries listed above coz all work is done here, and not there!
Also, to highlight, its congress who is reducing the salaries of people in all fields by the kind of inflation and taxation it has increased on all businesses.
The present govt shouldering the poor aam admi's arm is killing the aam aadmi itself.
bcoz of lesser salaries talent goes to other countries and they benfit.
Western idealogy has been working through congress for 60 years to keep India poor - Aam Aadmi

Why you are saying this people already understand, What do you think people are fool.
Fact of the matter is that India simply does not stand anywhere on the list. India is employed by the developed nations for cheap labor and infrastrcture is still pathetic in India. High quality work is still done only in developed countries and the jobs that they do not want to do come to India. Earlier there was this charm of onsite money and now with that absent morale of the IT people is very low everywhere. Good number of IT people are switching tracks now, remember in the initial days of the industry lot of people switched tracks to enter IT industry. India will also face stiff competition from many other poorer countries in future and this will further increase pressure on indian IT industry and the quality of its people will drop further. Western IT managers have a clear understanding of the falling morale of the Indian IT worker over the years and they know that they cannot give critical or high quality work to India and get quality results. So low quality work will come and Indian IT will just remain, if it can compete with other poor nations, wherever it is now. With population increasing by the day quantity will never be a problem but maintaining quality will be impossible
If survey for top IT innovative companies then India should be in top 10. This survey is for IT enable nations in the world not top IT innovative companies in the world. Because of this India is 44th,

Again another masterpiece from indian IT industry.
if they would have done their ranking in this way then indian IT would have been superpower and all IT companies are indian and run by indian IT coolies only.
I can see lots of guys spreading all sorts of rubbish against the Indian IT industry just because they are not getting through the tough selection processes employed by the IT firms.

do these companies have any proper selection process? Evenif they have then do you think that solving all those quant, verbal and simple math question is any tough. If you about interview then good spoken english should not be criteria. If someone still argue that indian IT is great then he/she should be left in this type of hallunication.

Hi Manoj, Why u lookin so pissed off......If you are commenting on stuff like this then I suppose you have done wonders in your life, to pass a verdict about an industry. I suppose u don't have knowledge that most of engineering algorithms for google ads are developed in India.......I have worked in USA, Australia and India and believe me an Idiot like you can work in IT industry but what is important is consulting. Its very tough to grab a business. How easy do you think it is to convince bank of america to get all its transactions done in India. If u think its only because of cheap labour than you are an illiterate who does not understand business. Outsourcing is the last option any company think of. But indian business men are intelligent enough to align business/IT together even operating so far from those nations. You should congratulate for that rather commenting on the type of work. If u r from this industry than u are a coward speaking like that, If not than educate yourself properly. By the way, to educate you further just check the latest releases by Adobe, Sun (Oracle), Google and see how many Indian names u can spot in that. cheers!!

Well said Puneet, there is no dearth of people pulling down those helping our 3rd world nation grow out of where it was. Agreed we may not be innovators in all aspects of technology -IT or others, but given the limited resources we "inherited" the rapid progress our IT cos have made, despite unending Red tape and corruption its nothing but a commendable achievement
Yes, a time will come when the world will look at us for direction rather then direct us. So far so good !!!
india includes lot of creative ppl in IT feild .. today major it co. lik tcs and infosys earn their revenues from outsourcing .. i.e. most of all always outsource their projects to india.. it means there are lot of wonderful minds in india .. y india is behind then ? it is because lack of planning in educational policies .. lack of usage of IT in every sector .. what is the difference between 1st rank and 44th .. that is they use eveything with it.. and we dont ..

No. I think Indians do not dream big. They are satisfied with a job. In my company some engineers with high eminence in programming eventually became managers of testing projects. That reduced them to just taking care of resources, deliverables and customer interaction. They accepted it. Never bothered about their skills going unused. When there are no development projects what to do? Who wants to lose out a good pay packet? This is a dilemma for Indian IT guys. But Indians are not even motivated for self-lead enterprises. A japanese has written a programming language (Ruby), a finnish gave us Linux. Look at open office, postgresql database and many free tools on the internet. Indians contribution is very meagre. Millions of IT pros are there. What they do after going home? Watch movies, take their wives for shopping etc. Indians have to come out of mediocrity.
why they hire people from India to work in their IT? You find only 5% Americans working in IT in USA..rest are all outsiders...same goes for countries like UK, Aus, Germany etc...so this report is out of context.
