India's Rank is 40 in I.T Participation
The Global Information Technology Report's Readiness Index ranked India 40 among 115 countries. To know more about this story, click here.
Well, yes we are ahead of China (Rank 50) and Russia (Rank 72), so what? As we are famous for our Information Technology and Software development skills all over the world, I think this ranking is shame on us.
We have large number of engineers and still our people are not ready to accept technology. Do you have any idea/view how can we increase technology penetration in our nation? I think private business firms should take initiative by implementing technology solutions in their business first. Sectors like transportation, construction etc. can have much more investment in IT sector. So we should bring those sector first. This will bring more revenues and encouragement among people who make software and implement IT as well as people who use it. Gradually, we can invest more in schools and colleges.
See, the reason for my view is, younger generation is going to use technology anyway. But we have to take people above 30 years of age with us in this technology marathon. Because these are the people who are going to provide revenues for investing in technology more.
Bottom line, think out of the box. Get those people in the game who are afraid of migrating to technology. They also form huge market. Invest in those areas and create a new market.

You make some interesting points about IT in India. What you need is capital first. I think the willingness to use technology is there. Just look at the way people have embraced mobile technology.
