Back then, India had fallen off a high growth trajectory — amid rising global uncertainties and lingering political differences that stalled policy making at home. Data from other recruitment firms and hiring agencies present a similar outlook, which explains my friend’s observation about social conversations. In the past, companies didn’t mind hiring suboptimal resources in the hope they can be trained on the job. Indeed, neither the information technology sector nor the nation’s talent pool is in a state to win a brighter tomorrow for India. Perhaps, that is also a message Prime Minister Modi was trying to underscore when he said: IT+IT = India Tomorrow.
