This world and the attitude of inhabitants here reminds me of sheep mentality. One does and everyone follows. Have been mulling over this for a long time and the only reason for this that flashed across my mind is the fact that there aren't enough skilled talent available in the market. Take for instance an organization with over 250 professionals - my bet is that majority of them wouldn't even know to write clean codes. They just hang around seeking guidance from the clever ones who have mastered Google for help on varied topics - codes being a small portion. From what I gathered, only 25% of the employees are self reliant, innovative and business savvy. Well, one needs to know the customer's business to extend help through lines and reams of codes, right?

Nasscom seems to be going beyond the big boys clutches, atleast the organization is trying to free itself from the lobby. Or, it is perhaps the pressure from the industry to do something useful for the members. They are strategically aligning with industry bodies like AICTE and administering certifications that could possibly transform the industry's fate in terms of getting right talent that stay. Better late than never. What is also alarming is the dissonance between tier 1, 2 and 3 companies. Take the revenue figures and the companies that fall under categories. Am told there aren't many 500 crore companies. There apparently is a wide number of companies with an annual turn over of nearly 100 crores struggling to sustain growth and still worse a helluva lot of them with less than 20 crores in revenues gradually slipping into red. What this implies is that in the long run, the big ones will make a global impact - handful of them. The rest will bite the dust leaving lakhs out of work.
