Once they chased America’s H-1/L-1; now they scramble for Government of India’s L1-T1. Like the proverbial chickens, Indian IT companies are coming home to roost.
Wipro can’t do this all alone. So while it is playing the lead in designing the new system, Cisco, Sun or IBM supply products and the hardware. Not just that, it is also got it on credit. The multinationals are willing to extend credit to companies like Wipro that integrate various parts of such projects, because the order size is typically quite large. “A Rs. 50 crore order is big for them too,” says Singh of Wipro.

on Oct 6, 2009It indeed would be a matter of pride for the Indian IT companies to add the work executed for Indian government departments into their portfolio, that would take them into a different sphere once they are participating in International biddings. Government after all is the biggest spender, and it has dawned on the Indian IT companies to start looking towards the country as well. The setting of professional work environment by way of technical devices, would also have a rub off effect in improving professionalism in the manner the government departments work as well. India would indeed emerge as a giant henceforth and this initiative would be able to remove some cobwebs about the manner in which the government machinery functions. IT as an enabling tool is paving the way. Incidentally, as a reference, the magic that IRCTC has performed also need to have been underlined in this article.
