My two cents.
1> IT industry is like a homoeopathic goli. At the beginning it puts the patients (I mean the great Indian ITers) in trouble but at the end it forces them into entrepreneurship!
2> Discussion on IT isn’t complete without a mention of “EMI”. EMI is such an external force that ties all the IT professionals into a single sting and therefore the industry moves!
Happy reading 🙂
