It's not a hit piece. The whole article lays out the issues with cost focused consultancies. (Please tell me that you're a subscriber and read the entirety of it, rather than the little bit that is available freely.) The issue with lack of tech talent - is that today, more than ever, we realise that tech/engineering talent is what drives the world. You've seen how this pandemic forced conservative companies to turn to online retail, just to survive. There is no going back... You may ask - how does that affect those consultancies? Well... Major service and COTS providers need less and less consultants at implementation phase. Companies that go for SaaS need specialists(tax, compliance, logistics, etc), that Indian engineering grads don't satisfy. In the end the article is about how those companies need to address lower demand for their services.
