It’s easy to tar the entire Indian IT industry with the same brush, but it’s a much richer ecosystem than just the Big Five.
For example, I work in a small product based company in a niche segment where we’re among the very few people who can provide the solutions we can, and I’d happily pit my colleagues’ skills against the best of SV.
Keep in mind that this article is only about the Big Five. They have a certain business model, a value proposition and a set of clients whom they service. A particular niche that’s been very lucrative and productive for them. This, as the article says, may be drying up.
But that doesn’t mean that Indian IT as a whole, or even most of Indian IT is in trouble.

The problem with enterprise software was never the technical details - it was getting archaic, inefficient business processes in systems that didn't support those processes. This doesn't change with SaaS. Extension tools have gotten better but the core problem still exists. So many customers still use on-prem SAP hosted in the cloud. The end result is the same requirement for everything but sysops.
