Helped by increased focus
on human capital and R&D,
Indian IT sector has
improved its ranking in the
global competitiveness to
34th spot in two years, Business Software Alliance
(BSA) 2011 Global IT
Industry Competitiveness
Index. As per the index last
published in 2009, India
stood at 44th position
among the 66 countries
benchmarked. "This year, given the
increased focus on human
capital and R&D, India has
raced 10 spots to 34th
position, ahead of China
and other BRIC countries," BSA India Committee Chair
Keshav Dhakad said. China stood at 38th
position, while Brazil and
Russia took the 39th and
46th spots, respectively, he
added. "The study demonstrates
clearly that India's IT
competitiveness will
continue to improve
through focused steps
which foster creativity and innovation within the IT
industry," Dhakad said. The United States
continued to top the
overall ranking for 2011
despite the slow down,
followed by Finland,
Singapore, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Singapore stood at 9th
position, Sweden at 3 and
the United Kingdom at 6 in
the 2009 index. In Asia, India ranks 9th,
behind Malaysia (ranks
31st) and ahead of China
and Thailand (ranks 50th). According to BSA, a global
non-profit IT alliance, the
index helps the
governments and policy
makers to identify
strengths and weaknesses of the domestic IT industry. "India's competitive
momentum is hugely
encouraging, since
unlocking the next phase
of industry growth will
require a continued focus on creating a favourable
business and legal
environment, and
improved IT
infrastructure," Dhakad
said. However, to continue this
trajectory, India will need a
safe and secure digital
economy that inspires the
trust and confidence of
government, business and citizens especially as
markets across Asia
become more competitive,
he added. The rankings are based on
a series of indicators
covering overall business
environment, IT
infrastructure, human
capital, research and development (R&D), legal
environment and public
support for industry
development. The industry body has
partnered with business
arm of the The Economist,
Economist Intelligence Unit
(EIU) for the report

No offence.
Video sharing website? Again we don't need to. Most of the Indians understand English so youtube is enough. Huuh? What about Infosys who has sold MILLIONS of copied of their softwares and products. IT = Video games? Seriously?? lool Not ALL the Indians play video games nor can they afford xboxes! Plus companies like EA sports, Rockstar games, IBM have highest amount of indians working for them.
