According to an article, India's liberalization was possible due to
its IT industry. In the 1990s, the industry started off with an export of
nearly $100 million with around 5,000 employees and now it is an industry that
thrives globally and India's IT exports are now around $70 billion with 2.8
million employees working in this sector. Here states that the IT sector is one
of the top two industries in the country today.
IT is
considered as a subset of information and communication technology. Several
industries are associated with information technology, including computer
hardware, software, electronics, semiconductors, internet, telecom equipment,
and e-commerce. The use of information technology in the business industry that
improves operational efficiency and assures easy accessibility to information.
It also serves as a medium of skill formation. India's IT industry is expected
to grow at a rate of 12 - 14% during 2016 - 2017 as the report by India's
software industry body National Association of Software and Services Companies
.This clearly shows that information technology is a sector which will likely
be one of the emerging markets in the days to come as India's economy requires
more hardware, software and other IT services, which means that IT is the
profitable technology. India's position in the global offshore IT industry is
based on five factors - abundant talent, creation of urban infrastructure,
operational excellence, conducive business environment and finally, continued
growth in the domestic IT sector based on NASSCOM-McKinsey report.
The IT industry is one which is not limited to software
development. Technology can be applied in libraries, hospitals, banks, shops,
prisons, hotels, airports, train stations and many other places through
database management systems etc. Among other sectors, the IT sector in India
has been driving growth for the last decade
and has the potential to continue doing so for the next couple of years
if shortcomings are met and challenges are faced. For more
