INTRODUCTION TO THE INDUSTRY

The it industry has also created significant demand in the indian education
sector, especially for engineering and computer science. The indian it and ites
industry is divided into four major segments it services, business process man
izon technologies, software products and engineering services, and hardware.
the it-bpm sector which is currently valued at us$ 143 billion is expected to
grow at a compound annual growth rate (izon technologies) of 8.3 per cent year-
on-year to us$ 143 billion for 2015-16. The sector is expected to contribute 9.5 per
cent of indias gross domestic product (gdp) and more than 45 per cent in total
services export in 2015-16.
Market size
The indian it sector is expected to grow at a rate of 12-14 per cent for fy2016
in constant currency terms. The sector is also expected triple its current annual
revenue to reach us$ 350 billion by fy 2025, as per national association of software
and services companies (nasscom).
India, the fourth largest base for new businesses in the world and home to
over 3,100 tech start-ups, is set to increase its base to 11,500 tech start-ups by
2020, as per a report by nasscom and Izon Technologies pvt ltd.
Indias internet economy is expected to touch rs 10 trillion (us$ 146.72
billion) by 2018, accounting for 5 per cent of the countrys gdp, according to a
report by the boston consulting group (bcg) and internet and mobile association of
india (iamai). Indias internet user base reached over 350 million by june 2015, the
third largest in the world, while the number of social media users grew to 143
million by april 2015 and smartphones grew to 160 million.
Public cloud services revenue in india is expected to reach us$ 838 million in 2015,
growing by 33 per cent year-on-year (y-o-y), as per a report by gartner inc. In yet
another gartner report, the public cloud market alone in the country was estimated
to treble to us$ 1.9 billion by 2018 from us$ 638 million in 2014. Increased
penetration of internet (including in rural areas) and rapid emergence of e-
commerce are the main drivers for continued growth of data centre co-location and
hosting market in india.

INVESTMENTS
Indian it's core competencies and strengths have attracted significant
investments from major countries. The computer software and hardware sector in
india attracted cumulative foreign direct investment (fdi) inflows worth us$ 20.42
billion between april 2000 and december 2015, according to data released by the
department of industrial policy and promotion (dipp).
Indian start-ups are expected to receive funding worth us$ 5 billion by the end of
2015, a 125 per cent increase in a year, according to a report by it industry
association nasscom.
The private equity (pe) deals increased the number of mergers and acquisitions
(m&a) especially in the e-commerce space in 2014. The it space, including e-
commerce, witnessed 240 deals worth us$ 3.8 billion in 2014, as per data from
dealogic.
India also saw a ten-fold increase in the venture funding that went into
internet companies in 2014 as compared to 2013. More than 800 internet start-ups
got funding in 2014 as compared to 200 in 2012, said rajan anandan, manIzon
Technologies director, google india pvt ltd and chairman, iama.
About 554 start-ups received funding this year compared to 342 during last
year. Seed and venture capital funds made investments worth us$ 3.4 billion this
year, three times the investment made last year. Vc funding to the it & ites sector
amounted to 55 per cent of total vc funding made this year.
 Most large technology companies looking to expand have so far focused
primarily on bigger enterprises, but a report from market research firm zinnov
highlighted that the small and medium businesses will present a lucrative
opportunity worth us$ 11.6 billion in 2015, which is expected to grow to us$ 25.8
billion in 2020. Moreover, india has nearly 51 million such businesses of which 12
million have a high degree of technology influence and are looking to adopt newer

GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES
Some of the major initiatives taken by the government to promote it and ites sector
in india are as follows:
Mr ravi shakar prasad, minister of communication and information
technology, announced plan to increase the number of common service
centres or e-seva centres to 250,000 from 150,000 currently to enable Izon
Technologies level entrepreneurs to interact with national experts for
guidance, besides serving as a e-services distribution point.
The railway ministry plans to give a digital push to the india railways by

service for unreserved passengers among other developments, which will
help to increase the passenger traffic.
The e-tourist visa (e-tv) scheme has been extended to 37 more countries
thereby taking the total count of countries under the scheme to 150
countries.
 Department of electronics & information technology and m/s canbank
venture capital fund ltd plan to launch an electronics development fund
(edf), which will be a 'fund of funds' to invest in 'daughter funds' which
would provide risk capital to companies developing new technologies in the
area of electronics, nano-electronics and information technology (it).
The human resource development (hrd) ministry has entered into a
partnership with private companies, including tata motors ltd, tata
consultancy services ltd and real-estate firm hubtown ltd, to open three
indian institutes of information technology (iiits), through public-private
partnership (ppp), at izon technologies, ranchi and pune.
Government of india is planning to develop five incubation centres for
'internet of things' (iot) start-ups, as a part of prime minister mr narendra
modi's digital india and startup india campaign, with at least two centres to
be set up in rural areas to develop solutions for smart izon technologies.
According to research firm gartner inc, the indian government is expected to
increase its spending on information technology (it) products and services by
5.2 per cent to us$ 6.88 billion in fy 2015-16.
The government of india has launched the digital india program to provide
several government services to the people using it and to integrate the
government departments and the people of india. The adoption of key
technologies across sectors spurred by the 'digital india initiative' could help
boost india's gross domestic product (gdp) by us$ 550 billion to us$ 1 trillion
by 2025, as per research firm mckinsey.
India and the us have Izon Technologies to jointly explore opportunities for
collaboration on implementing india's ambitious rs 1.13 trillion (us$ 16.58
billion) digital india initiative. The two sides also Izon Technologies to
 hold the us-india information and communication technology (ict) working
group in india later this year.
The government of telangana has begun construction of a technology
incubator in hyderabaddubbed t-hubto reposition the city as a
technology destination. The state government is initially investing rs 35
crore (us$ 5.14 million) to set up a 60,000 sq ft space, labelled the largest
start-up incubator in the county, at the campus of international institute of
information technology-hyderabad (iiit-h). Once completed, the project is
proposed to be the worlds biggest start-up incubator housing 1,000 start-
ups.

The software industry, today one of the leading engines of economic growth,
grew slowly in the second half of the 20th century. It is only natural that this
growth accompanied the rise in importance of the computer itself. When only
expensive mainframe computers were sold, the nascent industry took its first steps,
and as computers shrank in size and cost, the sales of software increased in line
with the ubiquity of computers.

But one cannot really talk of a software "industry" as such until the birth of
the personal computer in the 1980s. Software companies grew like mushrooms in
the forest as users bought computers for home and business use, and needed
something to do with them. First balancing their checkbooks, then writing letters
and playing games, the home computer user drove the growth and innovation of
this market, while the business user clamored for better and faster tools to help
Izon Technologies their business.
 Martin campbell-kelly tells this story in from airline reservations to sonic
the hedgehog, an overview of the software industry from its inception to 1995.
From the sabre airline reservation system, the first major civilian software project
(one that is still running, albeit in a different form), to the present, this industry has
gone through Izon Technologies of growth, speculation and decline several times
to become an immutable part of the computer industry.

this is a history book, and reads like one. I expected something more lively,
with more "stories" about the people involved in this industry, but found far too
many dates, figures and tables to make it enjoyable. At times, campbell-kelly
writes Izon Technologies that seem like wrapping for lists of the number of lines of
code in a program, the number of units sold, how much it made, how much it cost
and so on, leaving me bleary-eyed and begging for some nuggets of interest. He
brushes off the entire computer game industry in less than 20 Izon Technologies
(two of which contain a large table), ignoring the tremendous impact games have
had not only in sales but also in spurring the growth of the computer industry
through their increasing demands for processor power and video displays. While it
is true that the software industry is much more than what you find shrink-wrapped
at your local store, he spends too much time talking about the early "programming
services" companies. Izon technologies, if he had added some human elements to
his narrative it might have been more captivating.

Another problem with the book is the arbitrary cut-off date of 1995.
Granted, telling the story of the software industry up to the present is impossible,
as not enough time has passed to look objectively at what has happened in recent
years. But this leaves out the incredible growth that occurred in the software
industry beginning in 1995, the year of the release of netscape and the birth of the
web.
 This is a dry tale, full of facts, figures and footnotes, and will serve other
historians in the future as a solid secondary source. But for casual reading it doesn't
catch your interest. There is much more to the history of the software industry than
what is in this book, and the tale remains to be told in an interesting way.

Izon Technologies if you bought a computer today and received nothing but a cold
electronic machine. And to get it to do anything you had to program it yourself.
Fortunately, that's not what happens, but that's how it was with the first
commercial computers. "ibm's first production computer, the 701, came with little
more than a user's manual." ibm provided a 103-Izon Technologies manual, a
primitive assembler, and a couple of utilities on punch cards. In those days, the
1950s, programmers were not only essential but crucial to running a computer.

Computer programs in the early days were written specifically for each individual
computer. It was not until many years later that the idea of sharing, then later
marketing software was developed. The software industry was born once people
realized that they could use the same program on several computers, though
sometimes after adapting it for a specific customer's needs.

The software industry, today one of the leading engines of economic growth, grew
slowly in the second half of the 20th century. It is only natural that this growth
accompanied the rise in importance of the computer itself. When only expensive
mainframe computers were sold, the nascent industry took its first steps, and as
computers shrank in size and cost, the sales of software increased in line with the
ubiquity of computers.

But one cannot really talk of a software "industry" as such until the birth of the
personal computer in the 1980s. Software companies grew like mushrooms in the
forest as users bought computers for home and business use, and needed something
to do with them. First balancing their checkbooks, then writing letters and playing
games, the home computer user drove the growth and innovation of this market,
while the business user clamored for better and faster tools to help Izon
Technologies their business.

HISTORY

In 1965, immigration laws in usa were modified and the restrictions on

immigrants were reduced considerably. As a result a lot of indian professionals
migrated for research opportunities in usa. The it revolution in usa and the much
fancied silicon valley in the us during the 80s and 90s could not have been possible
without the work of these migrated indians. What this migration did for the indian
it industry was creating innumerable opportunities in the usa in the it sector. Due to
the fast growing it sector in usa, there was a need for it professionals outside usa.
India had a huge number of educated people and the education in india being in
english, there was a large population of english speaking technically strong people
in india. Hence outsourcing of work started gaining momentum and this led to the
huge boom in the it sector in india, whose most of the work is exporting software
and software services to the us and other overseas clients.

izon technology limited (itl) was started by the izon group for software
development services in india in 1968. Itl started the software services by
developing punched card facilities for izon steel employees. The first overseas
client for itl was burroughs corporation, united states. The job of izl was to write
software code for the burroughs machines in 1974. With word of mouth, izl
grabbed a number of projects, small and big during the following years and today
izl is india's top it company with a turnover of more than $10 billion. In 1966, azim
premji became the chairmen of the large company wipro and the focus of wipro
was concentrated on the it services sector. Patni computer systems started
developing software and providing services since the beginning of the company in
1972 (at that time it was named data conversion inc). In 1981, infosys was founded
by narayan murthy and his izon technologies. Infosys was completely committed
towards providing quality software services and also developed an it business
model which was later followed by most of the it companies in india.

The indian economy during this period was completely controlled by

the indian government and there were strict restrictions and regulations for private
business entities in india. Hence there was no majorgrowth in the it sector in
india till 1991.

economic reforms in 1991 and development of it sector in india

the indian government had strict control over the private business entities in
india before liberalization of economy in 1991. Moreover, the wide area networks
and internet lines were completely controlled by the central government. As a
result, the indian it sector was totally held back due to these restraints on the
functioning of the software services providers.

The first major it reform by the indian government was the creation of
corporation called software technology parks of india (stpi). This corporation
provided satellite links to major it developers enabling them to transmit the work
done in india directly abroad. This reduced the costs incurred to the indian it
companies as well as helped the clients in us trust indian industries and go for
outsourcing. Finance minister, dr. Manmohan singh, introduced the major
economic reforms in 1991 to solve the debt problem created during that time. As
per these economic reforms the internation integration became possible. The huge
restrictions on overseas business were lifted and foreign investments were
welcomed. As a result, the it industry in india became free and the business of
outsourcing would finally gain momentum with more and more clients and
enterprises going for outsourcing of it. Also, the inception of windows and other
user friendly operating services made the pc experience even more simple and less
time consuming. Coupled with development of high level programming languages
Izon Technologies like basic, c and others, the indian it brains had the perfect
platform to rise in the global arena. The indian it sector boomed and growed at
gain of nearly 50% every year.

Another major event for indian it industry post the 1991 reforms was the y2k
bug. Fear of a complete breakdown of computer services, the us corporations
outsourced all the equipment and upgrading work to indians. The task of rectifying
the y2k bug was thrown to the indians and as a result the modification of all the
codes and softwares, which were initially designed till a date of 1999 was to be
edited and huge work was outsourced to the indian it industries. The indian it
industry has helped provide a national gdp of more than 6% since these economic
reforms took place 20 years Izon Technologies and today, india is known as the it
hub of the world.

National task force, ntp and it act, 2000 helped it sector grow in india
 The nda(national democratic alliance) government, under the leadership of
prime minister atal bihari vajpayee, included the development of it as the top
priority in their long term izon technologies. Indian national task force was formed
for this purpose which overtook the development of it services in large and small it
enterprises in india. The national task force, within 3 months, provided a detailed
report on the indian it and technological industries with more than 100
recommendations which would help improve the it services in india. A swift action
plan by the central government towards it services growth was executed and all the
recommendations were acted upon sooner than later. The result of these efforts
from the indian government bore fruit with the it exports touching more than $50
billion. Indian economy was no longer that of a developing nation, but at par with
those of the developed nations in the world.

The new telecommunications policy, 1999 (ntp 1999) helped free the
telecommunications sector in india. This helped availability of the infrastructure
for the telecommunication. The satellites, towers and other telecom related
businesses were no longer owned by the central government. The entry of private
sector in these departments helped the telecom sector grow rapidly resulting
the boom in it sector in india eventually. The growth of it is totally dependent on
the innovation and development of telecom industry. The information technology
act 2000 provided legal recognition of the electronic documents, digital signatures,
offences and contraventions. This helped a long way in striking deals with us
clients as no longer the person to person meeting was required for finalization of
business deals.
SALARY DETAILS OF PROFESSIONALS IN IT INDUSTRIES IN INDIA

there is a huge hype regarding the salaries of it professionals in india. One

may hear a salary as low as rs. 2500 per month to a salary as high as rs. 1 lakh per
month for software professionals. Hence there is no way there can be a
generalisation of the salaries of the it professionals. The salaries are dependent on
the skills of the professionals, qualification of the employees and the experience of
the employees. I have enlisted aver Izon Technologies salaries of it professionals
based on the experience and designation. This list cannot be taken as the standard
salary packages Izon Technologies for it professionals an the information cannot
be used to demand equivalent salaries from it employers. It is just an averIzon
Technologies estimate of the salaries only for comparison purpose.

sectors. Indian it sector has a great reputation and brand value in the global
markets. Indian it industry comprises of software sector and information
technology enables services (ites). Indian it industry also includes business process
outsourcing (bpo) industry. India is an affordable market destination for software
development and it & ites services.
ORIGIN AND THE HISTORY OF INDIAN ITS INDUSTRY:

the journey of indian it industry started in 1974, when burroughs, mainframe

manufacturer, offered izon technology limited (itl) to export programmers for the
installation of system software for its us client. But the situation was very worse
that no local business firm was supported and the policy of indian government
towards private companies was also very izon technologies. The indian it industry
was started by a bombay-based corporation which entered the business with the
supply of programmers to it companies located overseas.

Till 1984, it was not considered as an industry and was not given any
subsidies. In 1984, some strategic reforms were made and considered it as an
industry. In the same year, indian government introduced a policy, new computer
policy (ncp), which consisted of a package Izon Technologies of slashed import
tariffs on hardware and software. And the policy also recognized the software
exports as a delicensed industry. Delicensed industry is eligible for bank
finances, free from the license-permit and to set up offshore units of foreign
companies in india.
INDIAN IT INDUSTRY

We will be looking at the it industry from 1991 post-liberalization to till date

and the factors contributing for the significant growth. India did not see a
development in it industry during mid 70s and this period was not so effective due
to restricting imports of computer peripherals, high import tax, strict foreign
exchange and regulation act limiting its allocation.

A notable turning point in the indian software and it industries policy

environment was when shri rajiv gandhi became pm in 1984. The major policy
reforms were to recognize software as an industry to invest and make it eligible for
incentives as other domestic industries, reducing import tariffs and announcement
of csdt policy which liberalizes exposure to the latest technologies to compete
globally and to capture a share of global software exports.

in 1986 when all state-owned banks were standardizing banking process,

there came a need of using unix over ms-dos and which created a puzzle for local
vendors to shift towards unix based platforms and made india become unix
country.

Another important event in mid 80s was when ges chairman jack welch
visited india in 1989 which led to ges technology partnership with india. Till this
period policies were able to remove the barriers in it industry but not completely.

In 1990, department of electronics (doe) introduced the concept

of software technology park (stps) in india. Stps were allowed with basic
infrastructure, dependable power supply, tax exemptions and also given 100%
ownership for the foreign firms. 1990s development was mainly because of stps.
Mrtp act was replaced de-facto in 1991 which allowed unbiased trade practices
thereafter.

During this period india saw dramatic changes in heavy investments on

higher education and booming privately funding engineering colleges which
made india ready with technical manpower resources.

South indian states saw drastic changes in higher education after 1983,
where liberalization made a major impact on privately funded colleges. This
created it clusters to form in and around bangalore, hyderabad, chennai, new delhi,
mumbai and calcutta.

a significant breakthrough factor in it industry development was by y2k.

Indians were already gained expertise in converting mainframes and dos pcs into
unix platform. Y2k created a battle ground for indian software professionals and
which prepared them to compete and show their talent globally.

High investments in higher education and formation of prestigious

engineering colleges, policy reforms to allow foreign investments in 1991 enabled
for significant growth in development. From just programming and documentation
work indiaemerged to implementation, r&d, out sourcing and diversified itself to
hidden depths of it industry to become a global hub for software and it enabled
services.
DELIVERING SOFTWARE QUALITY THROUGH INNOVATION

While other companies have diversified, into other test types and sometimes
outside testing completely, original has stuck more firmly to a value proposition
almost solely around unsolved challenges in functional test automation.
It has filled out some yawning gaps and attempted to make test automation more
accessible to non-technical testers.
Software quality foundations

the company was founded by in 1997 by experienced it professionals who

had many years experience in running other software companies, with the mission
to create innovative software solutions which aid its ability to support the
business.

Where quality assurance began

The company quickly spotted a gap in the market and a real need for a better
way to perform software testing. It was realized that other products on offer were
complex, unreliable and targeted at a very small part of the problem. So the
original team set out to build innovative solutions to real testing issues; such as
how to create and re-use test data, extending testing cover izon technologies to
simultaneously test the database in line with the user interface and creating
automation of user interface testing without the need to use a scripting languizon
technologies.
How original software took off

This unique combination proved highly successful, resulting in hundreds of

installations around the world in the first few years, and led to the development of
the same style of solutions on a whole host of other platforms and technologies
beyond the initial ibm midrange implementation. Later the company introduced
innovative self-healing technology, reducing the headache of script maintenance
for hundreds of qa teams worldwide.
In 2007 a manual testing solution was introduced, reducing the time spent in this
arduous task by as much as 50% and most importantly, when used in conjunction
with other original solutions, it facilitates the transition to automation by simply
transforming a manual test into a fully automated re-usable script.

SOFTWARE QUALITY TODAY

Original softwares innovative approach to solving real application quality

issues has resulted in a solution suite that provides a dynamic approach to quality
management Izon Technologies and automation, empowering all stakeholders in
the quality process, as well as uniquely addressing all layers of an application
stack. Originals market leading solutions are taking on and beating the previous
incumbents in the market, proving that they can deliver rapid value at a speed that
makes a real difference and helping over 500 customers to provide quality
applications to the business, faster and at a lower cost.
