The wave until now…• Good
– We were riding the wave of IT Services and may I say it has done wonders to Indian IT industry and many metros in general
– Y2K seem to have taken IT Services business to a height that most of us did not imagine
– Many graduates got into IT profession, even though their education had nothing to do with it (was it ever)
• Bad– IT industry developed only one expertise… “Yes sir, what can I do for you”
or also known as service industry – Organizations started out peddling titles without merits
• Ugly – It clearly killed original thinkers of breeds like IT Application / Product
Developers, Architects, Business Analysts, Product Managers

So what is happening now ?• Reality
– India enjoyed about 7% of all the work outsourced from multiple countries– And Yes, we did not focus enough on 93% that can be outsourced, why,
simple, it was easy to body shop than to take ownership of deliverables • Head count of chair warmers
– Organizations grew large with “School bus” approach (One driver and may kids enjoying the ride)
– With close to zero value add and busy under cutting of revenue of other organizations, we are at the bottom of the value chain today
• Demand vs. Supply – Our education system, has fallen short of generating “job-ready”
professionals. We believe still in “Teaching” vs. “Helping them learn”– Current demand of all-in-one warrior breed simply does not exist in the
quantum to satisfy the demand

Future of IT organizations• IT Services organizations
– Sunset as many pandits predicted (pun intended)– Unable to reinvent themselves as they have grown too large for their own good
• IT Product management organizations – Most of them maintaining “sunset” versions will possibly remain unaffected for
now • BPO
– Clearly set to disappear from current form into more value add like KPO • KPO / LPO / HRO
– These low-cost non-core function industries are pegged to be doing well for next 5 years at least
• Captive Centers – Depends on whims and fancies of the parent organization – Will disappear into China / Philippines / Mexico kind of countries, if they are not
involved in core business function

The NEW future…• IT no longer to be the most preferred industry for job seekers… hmm… • Small mom-and-pop setups
– Original one-man show with small army is expected to emerge as new epicenter – Man who produces results is in touch with business, directly – Consulting (vs. current insulting), Management Advisory, Program Management
will be new focus areas • Small and medium organization
– 50-100 professionals working with singular purpose is expected to emerge as new definition of large organizations
– Cost + Profit model is expected to emerge • Specialized offerings
– These existed in small disorganized fashion, now expected to take centre stage • KPO… with clear value add
– No knowledge, no pay… is expected to be new mantra of survival

Possible Eco-System
• Educational Institutions – Industry participating in education to create “employable
population” • Startups
– True learning ground for people starting their career– Heaven for individual contributors with experience
• Medium – Large IT setups – Feed from startup – Small intake from Campus
• Specialized sectors – To feed from startups and medium firms – Small intake from campus for skunk projects
