Is Indian Software Industry at inflection point ?

The (great !) Indian Software Services Model may be reaching a point of saturation...

With the decline in availability of quality manpower, rising wage bills, falling profits ($$$) we seem to be heading towards the inevitable; which most of the people in this industry do not want to acknowledge. In few of the recent conferences, some of our great leaders in industry actually said that these are non issues...

There are absolutely no reasons to get paranoid about this issue. The momentum gained so far, will propel us forward for next few years. However, in my opinion, the time has come to acknowledge the reality and wakeup to face the emerging challenges.

The answer is simple and obvious (go up in the value chain), and many of us have talked about the multiple end points in this journey. We also seem to have the necessary resources to make it happen, but the key bottleneck remains... changing our mindset to take on more risks and challenges, rather than living a comfortable life with T&M models...

I will share more of my thoughts (on related topics) in the forthcoming posts...
