> Yes. India is a poor country. Indeed a very poor one. But that does not necessarily constrain the growth of its tech sector. That is simply not true. You could grow anywhere, it's different shades of difficulty though. > It is about exporting products while also catering to a rising domestic demand. The revenue from exported domestically made software/tech products, compared to the size of the IT Services industry is miniscule. Almost nothing. > So I'm optimistic that domestic tech manufacturing will grow well, but not in the traditional way, such as building semiconductor fabs. As an economy, we should strive for depth - rather than just mate hardware imported from China with some software. Such work is easy to replicate, and is not very different from IT Services in how challenging it can be. Semiconductor fabs however is the kind of thing we should get into. Basically, an industrial base which manufactures hardware (and other real physical things) is harder to grow than software.
