Should IT co's eye other markets if US keeps unfair rules?

Reliance on only one market is always dangerous.  The market horizons have to be developed.  When we have the ability to serve every market needs, why should we confine to USA. 

THE OLD SAYING IS PUTTING IN TOO MANY EGGS IN ONE BASKET IS RISKY.LET US EXPLORE VARIOUS OTHER AVENUES INSTEAD OF DEPENDING UPON US ALONE.

I accept this views posted by Mr.Ramesh Kandadai. The US plays always the double game to suit its need and will not bother about others. The US is following the CARROT and STICK method. 

YES!

THE USA has become arrogant in its handling of the one country that has provided continuous intellectual power to it. Yes, the visa issues must be tackled but this is not the way. Now, the employers who are going to send the employees will deduct the amount from the moneys paid to the employee. If it is a matter of sending a skilled person to the US at the request of a US based client, the client's bill just went up because these costs will get included. Slowly people will opt out of going to the US. 

If there was one confirmed stupid move that could be made to control the US VIsa situation, the US govt has manged to discover and do it!!!!!

Yes We should look at other areas. There are better options available in other sun-rise markets elsewhere in the world.

Yes Ravali, We should lookout & develop  markets other than US. Though the Business Community in US support & prefer India for out sourceing Business, since it is benefitting them cost wise. US Govt Administration is under treamendous pressure to curb out sourceing business/ work to India.

Indian IT companies should write & develop their own software rather than indulging in Body Shopping activities by pushing the cheap labour(IT staff).

Yes Ravali, we should lookout & explore other markets apart from U.S. Even though the US Business Community will support & look towards India for out sourceing for the Business Reasons(cost wise), Politically the US Administration is under treamondus pressure to curb this activity to some extent,atleast.

Indian IT companies must concentrate much more on writing & developing our own software for US projects rather than just Boddy Shopping of our work force for cheap labour.

Yes. India shouldn't loose its Self esteem.  Indian employees are far better (as well as cheaper) than the employees of other countries. Indians are not dependent on the US market. Rather, India and US both are INTER-DEPENDENT. So, why we should tolerate their unfair rules.  It's not easy to get other market like US in quick time. But we should believe in our potential, and regularly seekfor the other choices. 

yes i think you are right ravali. indian IT should grab another market eventhough 

it is not very easy but every one know the fact that without   indians US cannot move further in IT

However it is not easy to grab the new markets. But Indian IT major 'ld grab other markets if US continue keeps its unfair rules. But for other small groups we have to wait and watch for further steps taken by U.S.

yes indian It cos. should try to grab other markets only then they can survive if US imposes ban or some other kind of restrictions on them

Yes we should seek from other sources, as US is playing the game.

Thanks Ms. Ravali for the referral.

In a free market economy, controls can inhibit growth. If a specific market is not fully capable of supporting different business practices, organizations should be able to explore various other markets in order to enhance their growth.....

Depending on one market is not sane, Indian IT Cos should explore the other country markets for business.  Depending on US alone has shown the ripples of IT slump in that country to us also in the form of retrenchment, reduction of pays and what not.  It is high time that IT Cos expand their market in other countries also

Yes, we must eye for other opportunities if US continue to show their double standard.

Very well said, Manoj.

I support your as well as Ravali's views.

& don't worry friends, this situation will improve in coming 3/4 months, as there is no challenge to Indian brain/ efforts/ hard work because our IT professionals are more efficient than any other country's professionals.

One day Mr.Barack Obama will beg for help from our IT wizards.

It is not always better to depend only on one country.  Explore other countries as you suggested.. Growth will follow though there will be some hiccups initially
