In Uncategorized on November 5, 2007 at 10:36 am

Often while discussing about the Indian software industry and its rapid growth; we argue whether this growth is sustainable or not and where the industry will be after 5 years.Often it leads to the suspicion on the future and the jobs. The Indian software companies are looking for the cheaper destinations than India. Though still there is a high value associated with the Indian techies. The competition is coming from Russia, China, Vietnam, Mexico etc. In all these destinations cost is much lower than India.

Bangalore is the main catalyst on the software industrial growth. One can feel the sea change in the Bangalore post 2000. Last 3-4 years are of significant change in the Bangalore life and life of Bangaloreans. What will be the status of the industry when it gets matured:

  • Very low salary increaments?

  • No tax benefits (post April, 2008)?

  • Still high on the work related stress?

  • What happens to the Indian work force once Indian companies start moving operations to other countries?
