Explaining India's software exports surge
The question was asked about how Nasscom predicts US$15bn worth of
exports by c.2003, representing growth from 5% to 25% of all Indian
exports.
I can't speak for Nasscom, but anyone can do the calculations: growth
rates for Indian software exports have been around 50% per annum over
recent years, compared to far lower growth rates for Indian exports
overall. Extrapolate those figures from here to 2003; add in a bit
of Nasscom optimism, and you reach their predictions.
A reminder that a summary of statistics and other analysis for the
Indian software industry is available at:
