Sujai Karampuri’s – Need Product Companies for India’s Growth
Sujai Karampuri has posted a blog entry on “Need Product Companies for India’s Growth”.
The author makes the case that to be able to scale to become a global economic power we need to go beyond the IT service model and step into technology products model. Unfortunately, in the last 1yr, I have seen little evidence of that. Sure there are startups coming up here and there, but few are coming up with technology products. In facts less than 10% of the people in IT industry I met in the last 1 yr work in product companies. And none of them worked for an Indian product company.
There are a few people I know who work in product development teams of US companies, but even among them there is a distinct lack of true ownership of product development. (I will write about that in another entry).
So what does it take to make that leap?
One Yr in India
It is one year since we left Santa Clara and returned to India.
It has been a happening year in which we managed to settle down in Bangalore and enjoy with family and friends.
