Indian IT industry has contributed substantially to the growth of the US economy and has paid $15 billion as taxes as well as generated employment for 2.8 lakh people, as per Indian IT association NASSCOM. NASSCOM has further stated that Indian investments have actually helped the US in its economic recovery as the Indian IT industry in the States is actually growing despite the slowdown.
These observations are worth pondering over given the outcry over outsourcing in the US. NASSCOM in its report 'India’s Tech Industry in the US' has observed that in the past 5 years, the direct workforce employed in the US by the Indian IT sector has almost doubled to 107,000. Combined with the indirect jobs, the figure goes up to 280,000. Also, Indian technology companies have invested more than $5 billion through 128 acquisitions thereby saving and sustaining thousands of jobs in the USA. Growth in acquisitions by the Indian companies in the US increased to 54% in FY2010 from 41% in FY2009.
Leading Indian companies, in the recent years, have increased their campus recruitment efforts and plan to increase the number of offers made upto four times in the next two years.
It is also estimated that industry has invested thousands of hours in community service that have touched half-a-million American lives. The companies remain committed to play role of good corporate citizens in the future, targeting to touch more than 10 times more lives through these sustained efforts, says the report.
