Most of the industry's impressions on India can be summarized in four words: Software power. India is a software power, based on the fact that in India, the value of the software and information service industry is already as high as 12 billion US dollars, a 24-fold increase from its 50 million billion US dollars.
Moreover, India's software has made outstanding contributions to India's outward-oriented economic model: at present, India's software has been exported to 105 countries and regions around the world, with exports exceeding 20% of India's total national exports. According to an authoritative survey, the sales of global software in 1999 was $150 billion, of which India accounted for 16.7%, second only to 78% of American companies.
A large amount of data shows that software is one of the pillar industries in India, a developing country.
IDC predicts that by 2008, India's software production value will reach $85 billion, of which exports will reach $50 billion.
This fast-growing and outward-oriented industry is naturally receiving widespread attention from foreigners, especially Chinese. As a result, the Indian software industry has attracted a lot of Chinese attention.
I have discussed this question n times in China, but I have never been to India, but today I have the opportunity to know the difference from an Indian who is not familiar with me. In fact, this opportunity also shows that India has started to enter the Chinese software market.
I went home from the company very late last night because I worked overtime. Walking in a hurry, it has been more than 11 o'clock, it seems that there is no bus to sit home, the subway has not been activated, can only take China and Pakistan to go home. Like in normal times, I waited for another bus and another bus to arrive, that is, the bus that didn't arrive at my house. The increasingly developed traffic in Shenzhen is actually very poor. Every day there is a traffic jam on the road. It took a long time to get a car. When I got on the bus, I saw a person with a slightly different skin sitting behind me, and I sat down beside him. His skin is a bit dark and he is on the phone. I don't know what he is talking about. I think it must be a foreigner.
There is no car on the beihuan road, so we are running very fast in China and Pakistan, just as the Shenzhen reporter reported, just like taking a roller coaster. In a short time, I came to the Buji gate. This road jam is already famous in China. If it is the second place, there is no other way to say that it is the first place. Soon, we saw a traffic accident in the opposite lane of our car. We saw several fire trucks and many people watching. As a result, there was a traffic jam and it was too far away. At this moment, foreigners around me began to ask me with curiosity about what happened there. At this time, I learned that this foreigner can still speak Chinese. Although it is a little blunt, it is still acceptable. We chatted about the accident. He curiously asked me why so many people watched there. I am curious. Chinese people like this. He said this is not necessary. Then I asked him where he came from. I used a very simple middle school English question, because my English is not good :). Later, he asked me to guess him. I first said "Malaysia". He said "no. Let me guess again. Later I saw his skin, and recently I saw reports that many Indian software companies have already set up offices in Shenzhen. Then I guessed the Indians and I guess it. After knowing that he is an Indian, I am most concerned about software. Because I am also working on software, I have been trying to solve the mystery of happiness, that is why our software is inferior to India. I asked him what he was doing in Shenzhen. He said they developed MCU software for many factories in South Korea and sold it to China. Soon, I saw him come up with a Nokia USB cable and show it to me, saying that this is the product they developed. I took a closer look at a USB data cable. It is estimated that they are developing a USB firmware program. He said that the software on the PC was developed with VB, and the program in it was written by C. Later, I asked him why your Indian software is better than that in China?He said that the main reason is that India's English is good. For example, when they read the development materials, they can see it in one minute, and we can see it in three minutes. The difference is three times.. I was a little surprised when I heard this answer. I thought it was the main reason. Because most of the development materials are in English, we must go to English at level 4 or above, that is to say, at least a junior college or above can be understood. It takes a lot of time to understand professional English.
Later, I learned from him that India also has many advantages, mainly infrastructure, such as transportation and electricity. He said high-speed trains like the Guangzhou-Shenzhen line only run 160 kilometers in an hour and 10 minutes, and at least 5 hours in India. When the lights were everywhere outside the car, he said there was no electricity in many parts of India. After talking about it, I will soon get off the bus.
