Abstract

At the dawn of the twenty-first century India’s traditional image as an impoverished nation is undergoing considerable change. While India continues to suffer from rampant poverty, persistent inequalities and internal political uncertainties, there has been a quiet revolution underway in India’s high-technology industry. India, known for its tea, jewellery and garment exports, has now become a significant exporter of software. Consequently, the industry, the government and scholars are banking on the continued expansion of the sector. Considerable hope has been pinned on the sector’s ability to address India’s chronic developmental problems of low growth, unemployment, balance of payments deficits and technological backwardness.
