Abstract:

There has been explosive growth of software and services in the information and communication technology (ICT) industry in India over the last five to seven years, though overwhelmingly as an export industry, with the USA the dominant market. This has led both to a substantial "brain drain" of high-level ICT personnel and neglect of the many ICT applications in the domestic market. The recent severe downturn in the US economy has led to a reversal of the brain drain but in catastrophic and unplanned ways. One solution for India"s ICT industry is for both government policy and company strategies to address the numerous domestic applications and to use these domestic-oriented ICT systems as a launch pad for a very different kind of export drive.
