This is the tale of a great transformation-how a country that exported spices and gems became a frontrunner in the knowledge-based sector and turned into the favoured investment destination for American technology giants. The IT revolution is seen as the 'miracle' of the new millennium: there are myths and hype; claims and counter-claims. This book is an attempt to set the record straight. A detailed and meticulously researched account of the computing and information technology industry spanning half-a-century, the book discusses the genesis of computers in India; how the initial IBM monopoly was broken; how the innovative use of communication technologies turned pigmy software of firms into billion dollar companies; the role of liberalisation in the IT revolution; and finally, whether this miracle can be sustained in the future.
