May be my Last Posting!

Dear Readers,

I had very famously proclaimed that I would start blogging and will keep on blogging ... i even thought of taking a revenge and blasting back to blogging.....HOWEVER, it is proving difficult for me...

I realised, I have many other things to do on net and hence, I am giving up on blogging.

Lack of qualified workers threatens India's success

Recently, Chicago Tribune had an article titled "Lack of qualified workers threatens India's success" by Tim Sullivan. It was indeed a shocking as well as informative article. Though the article mainly looks through the IT, BPO and ITES industry...it has an alarming signals.

It says that nearly two decades into India's phenomenal growth as an international center for technology, the industry has a problem: It's running out of workers.

It further observes that Indian schools churn out 400,000 new engineers, the core of the high-tech industry, every year -- but as few as 100,000 are actually ready to join the job world, experts say and this leads to the increased cost for IT companies which can directly affect the profits and close competitors like China can take advantage of this.

Though, on the positive side, Indian IT giants (TCS, Wipro, Infosys, IBM etc.) are pretty hopeful of normalization of shortage. Infosys has even gone beyond to setup its own Training Center.

Let's hope for the best. You may read the whole article Here.
