Here's an excerpt of what the International delegates at the Nasscom India Leadership Forum 2006 held at Mumbai said about India.
"When we looked for the best practices in the world, we found it was India." - Ronan D McGrath, CIO of Rogers Communications, Canada's largest wireless and cable television provider
"India can provide industrial strength development capability required to support our challenging reform agenda," - Richard Granger, director-general of IT for the British NHS (National Health Service serves 52 million customers and has 1.2 million staff)
"When I came here, STD stood for Subscriber Trying & Dying. Today, it's one of the best in the world." And on IT, "Give Indians a process and they will perfect it." "Others are catching up, so move quickly. Look at areas like knowledge services, engineering design and the like" - Les Dawson, Southern Water CEO. He also complimented the world-beating education system that India has.
Interestingly there was no mention about the infrastructure problem in India which of late has been severely criticized by the IT bigwigs of India. As Sunil Mehta of Nasscom said “India is undoing its success by focusing unduly on its problems”.
Well my take on India’s growing IT industry is, “True, We have the best processes and the best talent pool in the world. But are we making full use of the available talent, or are we just helping others grow? It is high time Indian companies start hunting for Intellectual property within their organizations and start making money by licensing their IP rights”. As Les Dawson has said, we need to move up the value chain and establish our dominance in Knowledge Services, Engineering design and the software product space”.
Agent Pal’s quote : “We haven’t traveled this far to suddenly apply the brakes and watch others take the lead from us. Let the world know that we are on track and will soon establish our dominance in every sphere of IT just like we did in the Services sector.”
Cheers,
Agent Pal.
Note: Will write about the infrastructure issue in a separate post.

Yeah right!
This one has already established his dominance in the Data Entry Domain!
Btw....Agent PAL....'Agent' as in 'Booking Agent'???
:-))
Agent Pal idea is hilarious. Hope its not the agent as theevatti says!
India lags behind a lot in creativity and in producing entrepreneurs. All what we do with this infrastructure and best practices & talent is do crap maintenance work for the american companies. Very few indian companies bag good projects which really uses 'the Brain'.
Agent as in Agent Smith da....
@ Jugg : So move up to the next level Data Verification ie. Making sure the data entry operators do their work properly
