The Indian IT industry, which had established itself by meeting the global quality standards, should go a step further and create new benchmark in world standards, said Mr Kiran Karnik, Nasscom President, in Bangalore on Wednesday.
Speaking at the Nasscom Quality Summit-2006, Mr Karnik said, "Because India has evolved, we want to see it go to the next stage of setting new world standards." However, maturity models for human resources would have to be streamlined further, Mr Karnik said, suggesting that the IT industry could adopt the standard models such as capacity monitoring model developed by the Carnegie Melon University.
Further, the Indian IT industry should reach a place where it can start defining the standards, he said. Mr F.C. Kohli, former Chairman, Nasscom, in his inaugural address said India, despite making progress in software development and exports, still lagged far behind in terms of personal computer penetration. The domestic sale of PCs was just four to five million units per annum, while 220 million PCs were being sold worldwide.
"Just two per cent of the world market for a country positioning itself as the global IT major is disappointing. The software industry is worth $30 billion at present, which comprises $25 billion in exports and just $5 billion of domestic sales. Out of this, half is imported from outside. This should change," Mr Kohli stressed.
