Discussing the report, Mr. Kiran
Karnik, President NASSCOM said, “The Indian IT and software
industry is continuously renewing itself and seeking to grow by
addressing newer service lines; the latest one being engineering
services. Companies in India have developed capabilities and skill
sets, and invested in technology platforms to leverage this
opportunity. The growth in engineering services signifies the need
for global corporations to expand their R&D pool beyond their
home countries”.
“The total offshore engineering spend is expected to grow to US$150 – US$225 billion by the year 2020, and India with its talent pool# and existing experience in engineering services, is well suited to realize 25% of this opportunity. However, we must ensure that required steps are taken by stakeholders to address possible roadblocks - especially those concerning workforce”, he added. Read Full Report Summary at NASSCOM |
