State of Indian software product companies
There are a handful of Indian software product companies, amidst the sea of software services companies – at least ones that are well known. And, I’m referring to the ones operating in the B2B space, like Oracle…not the B2C business model companies like Microsoft or Adobe. Tally, Infosys’ Finacle, iflex (now owned by Oracle), TCS’ BANCS come to my mind. But, how does one assume that an Indian software product company has truly arrived? How about a systems integrator advertising the requirement for people who have worked on a particular product?
Take a look at this recruitment advertisement from Wipro (Times of India Ascent, Bangalore edition, July 8, 2009) – it seeks people who have knowledge of products owned by Oracle, Intec and an Indian software product company in the telecom space – Subex Systems! Is that a measure of an India software product company ‘making’ it?
Disclaimer: I have worked in Subex Systems in the past.
Some of your posts are interesting and I need to read more of them. This particular point, not getting your point. Shouldn’t a services company work across the breadth and depth of technology and consulting services including integration etc ?

I meant this post from the point of view of a software product company, in India. On the fact that in recruitment advertisements, integration companies usually seek expertise in a product owned and sold by a company outside India. This as seeks people with expertise in an Indian product.
