Members here are mixing up things. Some members are talking about innovation of new products by India IT sector. Some members are talking about innovation by India companies. As this thread is about innovation in Information and technology sector by India, I will stick to that.
Before giving out some example of innovations in Indian IT sector, I want to give some facts about india IT sector.
1.Indian IT sector starts its real growth from 1995 onwards. So in that case our IT industry in just 15 years old. Whereas, IT industry of US, EU are more than 40 years old.
2.For investing more money into R & D a company must have a good balance sheet. India stated economic liberalization in 1991. So our companies used to face many hurdles earlier.
3.If we talk about 3 top India IT companies today (i.e. TCS, Infosys and Wipro.), they were nowhere in the picture in 1990. But today the headcount of these 3 companies are more than 3,50,000. They have a great balance sheet and now they are investing in R & D.
Now let me show you some innovations made in India. It may be done by a foreign company or an Indian company. But Indians are part of these innovations.
