ITES means IT enabled Services. It need not be strictly in the field of IT alone. It can be in engineering, medicine, administration etc. also where a huge amount of data is generated and some type of cognitive data mining is required. This requires a knowledge both of the parent field say engineering and a little bit of IT. Not only in India, the whole world is moving towards ITES - that is where the power is

There are various levels of skills that make up both the IT and ITES sectors. Passing generic comments about Indian capability is not called for. Karspersky does not realise that our creative ability is far more greater than any country in the world - NASA engages our Scientists, so does other R&D establishments in the world for their prowess! ITES / BPO segments had shown to the world our lead generation skills with the minimum amount of Business Development knowledge using English Speaking Skills. This came very natural to our youngsters. Telecom penetration in Europe and the US happened because of our people who had been to any of these countries they dial for, yet they could penetrate that market seamlessly.

Recently, Karspersky antivirus CEO came to mumbai, and said that Indian professionals are low quality I disagree to this part. Statistics shows IT companies R&D centres contribute in remarkable percentage which is good sign of progress...

Yes Ruchi I am in part agreement with your views since we have more institutions like medical, IT etc which will help us in becoming a developed nation.

Of course, IT/ITES is one ultimate Indian development weapon. But what I personally believe is, India have many other resources and reserves that may boost the pace of Indian Development. Development in my thinking, is smaller growths counted together. So, as the smaller units of society progress the country will progress. Development can come from sports, mining, manufacturing, personal growth etc. Sooner or later, we gonna see all these things growing and hence will grow the country- The India!

Yes,Is there anything else Indians are good at, i highly doubt it. With average intellectual ability, we cannot do anything else. The IITs take only 2% of the highly talented pupil, rest are no where but IT/ITES to look at. Only satisfaction is the foreign currency this field is contributing to our exchequer.

IT/ITES is one among the various opportunities for our development.The growth in that sector is obvious and seems to be fast because we are starting from almost Zero base.

No, It/ITES is not the ultimate weapon for Indian development, as 70% of Indian population is still living in rural areas. So we should do, planned development works mainly to improve infrastructure of rural areas so that these people will come into main stream & can join/contribute their hands with other of the country. & we will get a result as a whole.

Yes Joydeep, people who grew up in scarcity, always think that immediate money is everything in life and hence regret later in life; in no time loose directions!Become frustrated and completely drained!! Working in IT/ ITES is not important, what job you're doing makes all the difference!Most of them are doing donkey's jobs.In India, foolish parents of girls and girls themselves run after them!In the language of Lord Bertrand Russel, all the above souls have grown up with bad Childhood Experience, of scarcity! One must understand first, that the very technology is to organize, better equip ,quicken and help in doing inhumanly complex other technologies and non-technologies! The bubbles have already burs ted and people are already realizing that! Thanks.

IT is not be-all end-all for India. It must be looked as a support to development and not a development by itself. Vast majority of the Indian population relies on the agricultural income and the wheel of our progress depends on how each of our farmers (can be metaphorically compared to the spokes of the wheel) progress given the support given by the IT industry. IT has no doubt given India a global recognition and has led to many MNCs not only exploiting the cheap labour present in India but also leading to mass brain drain in the late 90's. Nevertheless, the power of development lies in its ability to develop the poorer sections of the society rather than making the richie (a well known cartoon character that resembles our politicians) richer. So, Jaago voters jaago...Go for inclusive growth and not just IT/ITES growth.

No.After IT another revolution is waiting to happen and in that too India is destined to emerge as a superpower -- BT or Bio Technology.BT has huge implications in such diverse fields as agriculture, pharmaceuticals and medicine. India has the intellectual capital to make it happen. However, a synergised and galvanised approach from the government as well as the private sector can make it happen sooner.

Rather I would say that, IT/ITES can fuel all conventional business to grow India as Super Power. Economy become strong when India become reach in essential commodities and minerals.

No, its not an ultimate development weapon. Sooner or later we will need concrete business solutions which is proprietary of our own. We cannot simply say that we will put cheap resource to upcoming business and grow faster. We also need to own some ultimate businesses. People in IT/ITES have burnt out lives and this sector will never be something very respected, thus it will never be regarded ultimate Indian development weapon.

IT/ITES cannot be developed in isolation. Most discouraging is that only low level IT development is done in India. Basic IT and computing research is not done in India. Recently, Karspersky antivirus CEO came to mumbai, and said that Indian professionals are low quality. Also hardware manufacturing is neglected area, we don't have companies like intel,amd, samsung, via, huewie, cisco, zte,arm. India is large country and we have large reserves of natural resources. Agriculture and food processing, manufacturing of advanced tech products has much larger potential to propel our growth. So its not just it/ites which is ultimate sector.
