High Growth |
Bolstered with such a significant, technically sound resource base, the software industry has grown unimpeded. With a compounded annual growth rate of more than 50% between 1992 and 2001, the Indian software sector has expanded almost twice as quickly as the world-leading U.S. software industry did during the same period, although from a smaller base. India’s software industry statistics illustrate the massive strides achieved by this sector and the opportunities the future holds. According to NASSCOM’s estimates for the fiscal year 2000-01, the country’s software industry is worth $8.26 billion, up from $100 million ten years ago. A study conducted by renowned consultancy firm McKinsey and Co., for NASSCOM, has proven why India is becoming the off-shore software development out-sourcer’s destination of choice. According to the NASSCOM-McKinsey study, the Indian software industry is expected to gross US$50 billion in exports in 2008! This is based on an average growth rate of 35 percent per year. The industry is well placed to achieve this target.
