Infosys has market cap 34b, Flipkart valuation is tumbling and now at 5b.
While not as cool as startups, Infosys and TCS are still much bigger and more stable companies.
- sandGorgon 10y agoby that measure all other startups suck and only microsoft or yahoo/alibaba is worth anything. I'm talking about aspirational reach - a H1B+TCS is not aspirational anymore.
- bruceb 10y agoNo one is saying startup suck. you said: Infosys and TCS are NOT India's representative companies anymore. More executives in the US and Europe probably know the big firms than the startups. Clearly they are representative. Do younger engineers aspire to join Flipkart more than Infy, probably but that doesn't make it representative to others.
- kamaal 10y agoSorry. That companies you mentioned are cool and hip not because they are great but because VC's are currently pumping money into them through a firehose. Let the tide die. These companies aren't even a shred of dust compared to operational, financial and execution discipline of outsourcing firms. My guess is round about the next US recession most of that start up people will do anything for a job in outsourcing firms just to keep them fed and pay their bills.
