This book is for business people who need to have a serious understanding of all the players and strategies that drive India's software industry. Author Parthasarathi Banerjee, a senior scientist at the National Institute of Science, Technology and Development Studies (NISTADS), New Delhi, offers a history of software's growth in India (thanks mostly to sales in the United States), analyzes the national and business resources that drive its success, and explores the way knowledge is diffused throughout the industry by a mobile workforce.
Banerjee uses a wealth of primary data gained through interviews and surveys to enhance his book.Sean Silverthorne
