Indian Information Technology Industry : Past , Present and Future & A Tool for National Development

The present study examines the growth and the performance of India’s IT industries, with particular attention paid to the role of policy in this process. The study recognizes that emergence of a strong Indian IT industry happened due to concerted efforts on the part of the Government, particularly since 1980s, and host of other factors like Government-Diaspora relationship, private initiatives, emergence of software technology parks and public private partnerships. In this study we further look at the major parameters of the global and Indian IT industry in particular and give justification for including the main factors responsible for the IT boom in India. The study will look into the past and present trends of the Indian IT industry and consider further needs of IT sector to act as a catalyst of growth and development. The study will also examine whether the Indian IT growth does have enough lessons for other countries to model their IT policy which may help them to shape their IT industry as driver of growth and development and which could also reduce digital divide within and across countries and regions.
