I am in the camp of manshu/portfolio/Hawk’ish/priyanka. I am fan of yoginder. Yes, I believe we can put as many explanations to as we can. The fact of the matter is we keep chasing and in future we WANT to chase those low hanging fruits. Because it is easy. It is easy dollar conversion. The day dollar goes below 35 all Indian IT companies will be toast. As a disclaimer, I am 52 year old who has worked in big fours. And just quit one week ago from middle management. Its all about chasing low hanging fruits. It’s a reactive approach. Meaning where are the projects let us chase it. There is no proactive projects, meaning, lets develop this because there is a need (but no clients yet). Such projects get killed because, there is no client to pay for. This is valid for all IT outsourcers. (yes takla is my real life nick name) There seems to be 2 camps. I am in the camp of manshu/portfolio/Hawk’ish/priyanka. I am fan of yoginder.

You may try to put as many good explanation as you want, fruits or mentality or expertise or experience or not IT related... those are also excuses, and THOSE ARE THE REASONS why these companies cannot get out this daily grind. top line or bottom line whatever you call it, Indian IT is just a low cost service providers.

Let me take a step back - The Hindu website is one that has been very easy to navigate, to reach a section, go through the archives or the search capabilities. The index by state/city, is very good and provides easy access to each section. They were among the first to provdie RSS capability!. The user experience has always been much superior to any other newspaper site in India. I have been accessing the crossword for the past 13 years and never have a problem getting to it (please try that in the Times of India or other sites) and can easily print a weeks set of crosswords. The user comfort, navigation was always consistently good. To improve the user experience the logical step is to select experts in the business - those who provide such services to one of the largest news markets in the western world (US, UK). Please check NYtimes or the London times or the Guardian. So you seek solutions from experts. Do you think this is an IT problem? I think not. See how cluttered up the Times (used to be) and also the Indian Express. Can you quickly see the news from last week on any site? It is a media design and user experience improvement and The Hindu would presumably select the experience companies in such matters.
