What is our core competency?
------------------------------
Can we ever see "Made in India" on common commodities?. We often see "Made in China", "Made in Taiwan", we see "Intel Inside", Intel is an American firm, We use Microsoft products everyday, it's American, Most of the "everyday commodities" we use today are invented in the "west" and made in the "Far East", this is our primary dependency, we depend on the "Middle East" for "Oil" and "Eurasia" for "Weapons". We depend on "Africa" for "Third World Brotherhood" and "Europe" for a "Security Council" seat. We depend on our immediate neighbours for feeding enough diversion to our politicians from pressing "Internal Issues", we are generous enough to own up the troubles of our neighbours and take the causes of historical friends. The simple question is
"What are we Good at?"
We have been consistently doing one thing (consistently) all along our recent history, (seeking to)solve others(not our) problems. That is what Software industry and the BPO in this "Bharata Varsha" do, provide solutions(Software) and help( take load off other firms). Next:
"Are we good at it?"
Not exactly, we are the only ones doing this because no-one does them at the price we do, we hire people of diverse professional backgrounds(enmasse), equip them with "Problem Solving" skills re-train them in "Current Technology Trends" ( though entirely un-related to their professional background) and deploy them like Patriots fighting Scuds.
"How dare you say...We are providing lively-hood to lakhs of people.. we are the best .."
I am extremely sorry to have conveyed the wrong impression, The whole nation is indeed grateful to you, I have a lot to explain. see you in part-2 of this thought process.....
