Boeing 737 Max failure: Indian IT fraternity irked by the unfair blame on HCL Tech, Cyient

Pareekh Jain, founder, Pareekh Consulting, an tech consulting firm, said unlike what the report claims, India has competence in the aerospace engineering space, which accounts for about $2 billion. "Blaming outsourcing for failure is not fair and is like blaming the entire ecosystem," he added.
In a statement, HCL Tech said, “We have a strong and long-standing business relationship with The Boeing Company and take pride in the work we do for all our customers. However, HCL Tech does not comment on specific work we do for our customers. HCL Tech is not associated with any ongoing issues with the 737 Max.”

Cyient said, “The news articles wrongly claims of Cyient’s involvement in software development for the flight test equipment."

As Boeing clarified, Cyient stated it was not involved in the design of the MCAS or the cockpit warning light. “As a company, we place great emphasis on domain and industry knowledge and hire from the best talent pool available in the local markets. This includes 1,000 engineers we have hired in the US,” the statement said.

The company said its engineers has years of experience with leading aerospace original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and system providers and the company lays great emphasis on providing the highest quality solutions and services to our clients.

Sangeeta Gupta of IT industry body NASSCOM said in a tweet, “These claims are vicious and lack any veracity. Indian tech is the favourite whipping boy for any issue that goes wrong, otherwise it is projected as still being in a labour arbitrage model with no value add. Time for the world to see how the industry has changed.”

What do you expect him to say? Oh our sucky all talk no skills programmers did it?

Then again, what do you expect if you spend a penny and hope for a dollar in return? Not in this world, especially not from a country whose military personnel bomb their own docked submarine to the bottom of the ocean and mistook Jupiter as Chinese flying saucer

So what if software development was outsourced to India? This is nothing new. It’s ultimately Boeing’s fault for letting faulty software through. They need to look at their integration and QA processes.

Or Boeing was being greedy by cutting corners.

Indians also responsible for the 737 MAX disaster. What a shocking revelation this is. Boeing paid them $9/hr and this is the result people get. Not only software problems but the 737 MAX seems to have hardware issues as well.

Well, you get what you pay for. $9/hr is utterly shameful for a company like Boeing. It is unbelievable and shocking. It shows how the management has mindset of shortcuts. This is unbelievable. People would not trust Boeing and risk their lives by travelling in it.

Morons who are bashing Indian companies roles in these nonsensical articles which have primarily mined other data from social media resume of individuals who worked on display modules for Boeing, do not have any freaking clue of how gate reviews for VA/VE works. As far as Indian software professionals, every major bank, aeronautical company, the automotive company leverages Indian Software firms. If any quality issues were caused by the subcontractors, Boeing simply shouldn't have accepted sub-par work.

Coming to this particular forum with the barrage of threads on the topic, that is aiming to target HCL should remind themselves that HCL> a so-called lowly software firm has a revenue of 8.63 billion dollars, to put that in context of this forum; that is close to twice of the entire revenue of the entire IT industry of entire nation of Pakistan.

When you hire people from third world country ,this will be the result.

I don't blame Indians in this case. The responsibility lies with Boeing's management. What were they thinking while outsourcing such a critical software for $9/hr. You get what you pay for.

Not true, but if you're outsourcing to someone who works @ $9/hr, then you can't complain much about the quality.

Well the quality directly proportional to the price. I remember that when I started working as freelancer during my undergrad, I used to charge $20-25/hr and in some months I used to make $3000-3500/month.
