Won't change anything.

The reason Pakistan lags behind other countries never had anything to do with talent or ability. It's because of infrastructure issues (no electricity) and political/security instability.

 

[Devil Soul]

Good, but still long way to go... and guyz be appreciative for good things happening in pak, india, china, bangladesh etc.. rather than bashing & abusing each other...

If your write correct history... you will know what mistake you did and what are the strength of your enemy has..then only you can correct your mistake and improve upon.

Political stability and image are very important.

Imagine you are a Western CIO having to chose between two vendors: one is in a known "stable" country; the other is in Pakistan where you always hear news about terrorism, etc. You, personally, might know that the Pakistani vendor is reliable, but the Board would need convincing that the "risk" is manageable, etc. If the cost difference between the two vendors is not significant, you would just play is safe and go with the stable country.

 

[Vinod2070]

Never knew a single not so large deal would be such a big deal.

Congratulations anyways. I am sure Pakistani firms have won larger deals in the past and will win still larger ones in the future.

Sure, but a lot of IT outsourcing work is low level coding where the vendor's R&D credentials are not needed. If they're cheap enough with a reasonable portfolio, and the risk factor is manageable, that's all that matters.

R&D is needed when you are competing higher up the value chain, which is always good to aim for, but not the bread-and-butter of outsourcing work.
