whenever this topic starts an Indian will come asking this same stupid question. whats wrong with 100 minor IT firms than a major IT firm?

what is wrong with the question ? At some point minor firms turn into major ones

The partial Answer to your question is simply "NO".
No Big company in Pakistan on the scale of "wipro" or anything at the moment, not because of lack of potential but as usual the law and order situation for past several years in which no one want within and outside to invest heavily in any sector.

But their are signs that, soon we will witness big companies after merger of several samll and then public IPOs at last.

Axact is still under investigation ... they aren't downed yet

main problem with Pakistani IT industry is that we have too many solo players rather than companies ... Thse solo ones should be brought up together to form companies and create synergies

Well if someone is going solo...it is mostly because of their independence...most people do not like to be dominated by a bunch of businessman (investors) who doesn't know much about the tech...However, like minded group of youngsters can come together to start their own ventures...

There is nothing wrong about wanting to be in business for yourself
at some point people have to learn teamwork

Indias advantage is English and pakistans advantage is Arabic as well as English speaking or knowing large engineering diaspora.so pakistan has a advantage to use Arabic for bpo sector which is mostly in demand of Muslim and Arabic nations.

Do Pakistani really know Arabic ?? They are familiar with Arabic script. What are the Arabs in the Arab countries supposed to do ? They have enough unemployment
