According to survey condected by Nasscom told that Indian IT industry is safe
India’s IT industry does not need to worry about the current economic downturn as “we have a strong knowledge base” and the established market players here would not be affected. “We need not worry about the slowdown in the US economy. It is all a temporary phase and very soon, the US dollar will reach a stable position,” said Ganesh Natarajan, chairman of the National Association of Software and Services Companies (Nasscom).
Addressing a chief executives’ meeting here, he said despite the global meltdown, the Indian software business is growing at the rate of 21-24 per cent every year.
He, however, urged the IT industry leaders to look beyond the US market. “Plenty of opportunities are available in Latin America, Japan, China, Europe and also in some African nations,” Natarajan said.
“By 2020, India can alone fulfill the need of technical talent of the whole world. By that time the whole world would need 43 million technocrats while India will have 47 million surplus technocrats,” he said.
According to Natarajan, the estate and retail business would feel the heat of the economic downturn. “But our IT sector is safe and would continue to grow,”
He added that huge investments have to be made to train the available talent.

Venkat Prabhu next presentation Goa will be totally different from all his previous films Chennai 600 028 and Saroja. “It will be a jolly good film likeAmerican Pie or Road Trip.
It is about a gang of friends who go to Goa to celebrate their holiday, get stuck in a perilous situation but emerge unscathed. All this is narrated in a very gripping manner that is totally new to Kollywood. This will be ‘the’ fun movie,” affirms the ace director.
The film stars Premji, Jai and Vaibhav and some Hollywood actors who will be finalized soon. It is because he wants them to unlearn the Hollywood style acting and add some Indian-ness to their acting so that they don’t look incongruous like most western actors do in Indian films!
Also, it is heard that two frontline heroines of Kollywood will act in this film. While Venkat’s ever-reliable music director Yuvanshankar Raja will score the music, Shakthi Saravanan will handle the camera.
And it looks like Venkat Prabhu will realize his longstanding wish in Goa. It is heard that he has approached maestro Ilayaraja – who is his father Gangai Amaran’s elder brother to sing a song in his upcoming film Goa and that the maestro has agreed happily.
