"Sun never sets in the British empire", the British once boasted of their empire when they were on the colonialization spree. On similar lines,"Sun never sets in for the Indian youth". Well you might be wondering what I am talking about. I am referring to the ambitious Indian youth who "burn the midnight lamp" in the IT and ITES.In short the section of today's generation who work in the BPOs and Call-centres.
It is an oft argued issue whether the foreigners are exploiting our men by paying a five figure salary(which is high in Indian currency) which they cannot afford to do in their countries.We must understand the very basic fact that it is not such an easy job for a graduate to work in night-shifts during the most exciting period of his life missing the light of the day. Leave alone the hazards of working in night-shifts which ends up in several physical and mental stress. This again brings in a question whether working in night shifts should only be a temporary career?? Well the answer could be depending on the individual's mindset who should very well know to iron out the opportunities and threats in this particular field. At times I wonder whether "colonialization" has taken a new form??
It is an irony that in spite of the above mentioned weakness of this field it has several advantages too. Looking at the current scenario of the growing economy of our country with a GDP(Gross Domestic Product) of above 8% and most likely to go above 9% this year, foreign investments are required to keep our economy stable. In the recent past we saw the TATAs acquiring Corus, Hindalco Industries acquiring Novelis and Mittal Steel acquring Arcelor and not to mention the number of tie-ups and MOUs signed by various industries. These are perfect instances to talk about our economy growing on a global scale.
Any major nation's success depends on its receptivity to the concept of Globalization. A country which tries to claim it can exist independently without the interdependency of other country will be shunned by the world. Today globalization is "interdependency of the independent countries". This is the basic idea behind the various outsourcing processes coming into our country. India's strength is its man power whose talents and potential are recognized worldwide. On the other hand India has its own threats of this talent pool being unemployed. The concept of globalization is one of the best ways to overcome this problem. Opportunities will continue to soar in the IT and ITES providing more employment. Call-centres and BPOs are indeed a boon for those craving for a job. Also more and more enterprises come up, providing employment and also greater opportunities for people who aspire to become entrepreneurs.
Thus we should see the global scenario and act locally depending upon the strength, weakness, opportunities and threats of our country. Every individual should grab his opportunity to make his best. This is the peak time for our country going global in various sectors. Youths, now its our time!!!Let us make hay when the sun is shining!!!!!JAI HIND

well.. this has to b considered in most practical way cos this involves not only the country but also the individual..as far as country is concerned.. alwys there should b a start 4 somthin..india is strivin so hard in almost all the fieds.. esp. in IT..so workin for others doesn mean that country is losin somthin but they'r learning at same time..of course being exploited but 4 how long.. that should b the question.. givin an opportunity 4 d indians is good from one angle but at same time it should yield to some achivement in the same field.. in short, they should try to outsmart them..which is possible..individuals going 4 bpo's and call centres cannot b blamed jus lik that bcos in futur its going to b business merging with IT itself.. thatsy we'r able to see an increasing growth in bpo's.. business appl. using computers will b the future.. so peopl who work 4 bpo now will b benefited in futur greatly..learning is what we are undergoing now..so its better to expect somthin great from the unexpected.. remember never underestimate our country's intelligence.. without aryabatta, no mathematics for that ,matter..challenges are ahead.. we can make it if we try to.. to make india a better place to live in..!!
Hi Prashanth, I quite liked your approach to the entire topic. A very holistic view of things which is quite uncommon as many tend to have a parochial view on this issue.
India's population has proven to be more of an asset than a liability in this regard as we have what most other nations want these days, man power.
While most youngsters have filled their blogs with more lighter topics.... Its suprising in a positive way that a youngster is giving thought to serious issues and sharing it online and giving others some food for thought. M sure thrs lots more coming from u... and u wil make a difference and leave ur mark in this world.
All the best dear!!!
