Reply: Information technology/information technology enabled services sector (IT/ITES) has played a vital role in acquiring a brand equity for the nation and has contributed immensely to the increase in our GDP, employment and exports. The IT/ITES exports have grown from a mere $330 million in 1993 94 to $12.8 billion in 2003 04 and to a staggering $59 billion in 2010 11. This sector accounts for over 5% of India's GDP, and employs 2.54 million professionals directly and another 8.3 million people indirectly. Today, India is regarded as the premier destination for the global sourcing of IT/ITES. A majority of the Fortune 500 and Global 2000 corporations are sourcing IT/ITES from India. Further most of the Capability Maturity Model (SEI CMM) Level 5 firms are based in India.
The Indian IT sector has witnessed a mushrooming of RandD labs (initially captive units of MNC companies) in the past five years employing the best of our local talents, which has resulted in seeding intellectual capital for use domestically and by SME Indian companies. The industry segment that works in the area of embedded systems has also moved up the value chain by seamless integration in providing turnkey solutions comprising RandD, product development (hardware and software), system integration, system testing, warranty/maintenance. Similarly in the semiconductor space, IT companies have moved up the value chain from merely offering design services to acquiring status of fab less semiconductor companies where the companies are involved in creation of IP, design, assembly and testing and shipping a full product/solution to customers.
