IT industry should shift gear: Vishal Sikka

Infosys chief executive Vishal Sikka has asked India's software industry to reposition itself as one that delivers global value and move away from being a sector that delivers services by leveraging cost arbitrage, which can be replicated by global firms in the country. “I am a US citizen. Anybody can set up a captive in India now. The idea that we are India-based services industry or we are an India-based company is something we have to get away from,” said Sikka, while answering a question on automation and the future of Indian information technology at the WELLSFARGO Technology, Media & Telecom Conference 2016, on Thursday.
