Not really..It will take some time for Image of Bihar to turnaround and instill confidence in the mind of the industry.. Its the Industry Psychology that matters.. Texas Instruments helped start and create Bangalore..Bihar needs such a saviour..

I know that Bihar has bad image across the world. But it can be changed with the help of correct politics and polocies. Current CM has made tremendous improvement on the image of Bihar. Lack of opportunity I see as the major reasons for low law...

In my view, Indian economy faced 'slowdown' not 'recession'. Adding to Ms.Swathi's comment, India will not be impacted largely by the US recession, simply because India is not which it was in the '80s-'90s. Although it will be immature on my part...

1 Implementation of IT in Power Distribution
2 Govt. Projects can be the key to recovery
Sourav Bagchi  |  Added idea  "SI/turnkey Projects"  |  2 years ago
The way to go is SI/turnkey projects as the user Industry has also matured over the years and everybody wants a single owner Project window and this in turn will increase the collaboration among different IT Organisations
Sourav Bagchi  |  Supported idea  "Govt. Projects can be the key to recovery"  |  2 years ago
I think Government Projects with its steady flow of capital along with ability to absorb huge training costs for fresh associates is the way we are heading in the future
