Indian IT Revolution

India is the 2nd highest populated country in the world right behind China. With that many people in your country you could or will have lots of poverty in your citizens, but since the IT revolution has been in India that is changing quickly. I strongly believe that the IT revolution has mostly been a positive event for India because it has been a large factor for the economic growth of India for the last 20+ years. The well-educated citizens who have been trained in the IT field very well have accomplished this. They all go through this training because of the high paying jobs that are given to the best-trained students; this workforce also creates a globally good image for India.
India has become a leader in the IT revolution for many possible reasons. First, India has developed a very strong IT training institute in Bangalore. Tens of thousands of students have attended and learned how to speak fluent English and be proficient users of Information Technology. People are trained both for IT services and business information outsourcing for the call centers. Second, the pay scale for these highly trained workers is significantly lower than the pay scale for the same workers in the United States or Europe. This makes it a lot cheaper to outsource jobs to these workers in India. Because of this well-trained workforce, companies from the United States have brought their resources to India because of how cheap it is to outsource the IT services there.
India has increased service export during 2000-2012, it has estimated from 8 billion to 60 billion for the first decade in this century. Another piece of evidence is that foreign investments in India have increased at a similarly high rate; this is all possible because of the high quality Indian workforce.
Many have and still will say that the IT revolution has mostly been a bad thing; a woman in the video “The Other Side of Outsourcing” says “Don’t make us part of your ways of life,

    3. Given the low per capita income of the country, why would you still argue for India to be an excellent place to do business in the coming years?

    India has been described as an ‘import substituting country par excellence’. A balance of payments crisis in 1991 led to the initiation of an ongoing process of trade liberalization. These events corrected the in-built systemic bias against exports and they have led to a degree of correction of the price distortions in the Indian economy through the creation of a more open economy. More importantly, increased competition and the presence of firms from foreign markets has injected a greater degree of quality consciousness and customer orientation, which has been largely absent due to the lack of competitive pressures. In the past there were few foreign firms present in the protected domestic Indian market. These changes have reduced the tendency of…

    India's economy hit a major turning point in 1990 when the government started the Economy Liberalization. Its effect is the significantly high economic growth when the GDP greatly rose from $316.9 (1990) to $1001 (2010), but along with that, it also brought about the increasing poverty and the widening income gap. After 1990, poverty, religious conflict, corruption, income inequality and regional disparity are the main problems facing India's economy while Bollywood and IT sector and software service became the highlight of India's economy. Speaking of India, we can relate to one country, China because of their similarity in population, their growth in GDP and several historical links. Despite having many things in common, they focused on different development paths.

    India is one of the world’s largest, most ancient countries; after being conquered by innumerable rulers and kingdoms, it stands today as the world’s largest democracy. With a 62 year old constitution, India’s independence is relatively recent, but it still prides itself on its sovereign, secular and democratic republic. Just like its historical roots, India has a very diverse geographical setting. The country is basically a very large peninsula with a 4,700 mile coastline. The climate is strongly influenced by the Himalayan Mountains and the Thar Desert, both of which affect the summer-winter monsoons. The major climatic groups are tropical wet, tropical dry, subtropical humid and alpine. India’s people have based their lives on the natural processes of the world for centuries; however, an economic revolution revolving around job outsourcing and informational technology has begun, and India seems to be a very noticeable participant.…
