Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys Technologies and Wipro Technologies have emerged the top IT and ITeS employers in Nasscom’s top 20 employer rankings for financial year 2006-07 .
The top 20 companies collectively employ over 0.5 million people — or just over 31% — of the 1.6 million employed directly in the industry. The rankings are based on the India headcount of firms with IT-ITeS operations in India, as reported to Nasscom in its annual survey. Other companies to figure in the top ten, in the order they’re ranked, are HCL Technologies, Cognizant, Satyam, HP, Genpact, Oracle and Intelenet Global Services .
The IT-ITeS industry, the country’s largest employment generator in the organised sector, is projected to employ over 10 million people directly and indirectly by 2010, from over 7.5 million currently, according to Nasscom. The industry body has attributed the growth in employee base to factors like healthy growth environment, attractive remuneration, various employment opportunities based on varying skill sets, and availability of talent. “What we do need to work on is the quality factor to ensure we remain the highest employment generator and maintain our share of the global offshore IT and ITeS industry ,” said Nasscom president Kiran Karnik.

A note of reality needed here on the real calibre of TCS, an insiders view..I used to work in Tata Consultancy Services earlier. Frankly, I was shocked to see the level of staff exploitation as well as lack of ethics in their client work culture, contrary to the general impression created by them to the Industry abroad. I remember that they completely copied a major Benchmarking study from one client to another without any sincere effort altogether. Also, it may surprise many of us that none of the good and qualified professionals stayed long in TCS over the past years. Most of the good genuine professionals who took initiatives for betterment were harassed and abused by the highly predominant low quality and non-performing less educated old timer staff in TCS (well settled in TCS Politics), and left the firm after demotivation on this environment. Result is that all the low quality and politically strong people have stuck to TCS past 10-20 years and occupying most of senior positions nowadays, while all the good people left due to demotivation and harassment etc.. LET THIS BE A CHALLENGE TO TCS, IF THEY CAN REFUTE THIS FACT.. There are hundreds and maybe thousands of ex TCS employees who can vouch for this sad fact..
Well said. I totally agree.
