>> Here is what some IIT alums are actually doing: iit.org Sam, the page you linked supports my point. It shows IIT graduates working in the US. That just means Indian graduates come here to the US and apply their talents. How does that show that you can call up an anonymous body shop in Delhi and order up software ? It doesn't. >> Read what Clayton Christianson has to say about disruptive technologies My point is NOT that bright people in India cannot make great software products. It is, rather, that you cannot design large scale software products here in the US, and have them programmed in India. The problem is the need for continuity in developing enhancements. You need a continuity of the critical mass of people working on the program. Generally these are the original creators, or later people who developed a sense of ownership for the product. If this sense of ownership can arise in the Indian team, then of course they will do a great job. Especially if the Indian market for software grows to the point that products created for Indian use are adopted in the US or Europe or China. But in my opinion the current state of software art is very far from that. Sarmad
