India- The Global Talent Powerhouse of Software Engineers and Developers
My first connect with the world of software developers and the engineerswas a decade ago, when as Head of Standards of National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), I worked with NASSCOM to create the NASSCOM IT Skill Council. It was then that I interacted with Heads of numerous IT Companies, both Indian and Global, and came up with the design of the Skill Council, which today is the Nodal Agency for technical certification, and development of software developers and the engineersin India. Since then, we have been closely tracking the growth in quality and scale, of Indian software developers and the engineers.
Today's world as we know it, is driven by technology. Technology is the enabler for all industries whether it is manufacturing, services or agriculture. New hardware and software technologies enable us to use our mobiles better, devices in the kitchen better,and industrial appliances better. Galloping technology has permeated our very lives, and every day, there are new developments in the field of software, which make our lives better and more efficient. In many countries, technology amounts for sizeable part of their GDP. In 2017, for example, it was astounding to learn that the IT industry’s contribution to real economic output in US, exceeded that of the professional and business services, finance and insurance, and manufacturing sectors, according to BEA figures on industry contributions to GDP. In fact, technology companies are now the largest representation in Fortune 500 list, which gives an indication of the central place that technology today occupies in our lives and businesses. The backbone to these technologies, and the continuous ongoing improvement in these technologies, are the software developers and the engineers, who are continuously behind conceptualizing, designing and continuously improving software.
For the past three decades Indian software engineers and developers have been at the forefront of global technology development.

Today Indian CEOs are you leading the top technology companies of the world, like Google, IBM, Microsoft and Adobe. Indian software engineers and developers have become synonymous with India’s growth as a technology powerhouse. With the introduction of AI, machine learning, IoT, and blockchain, India has adopted some of the significant-tech trends being observed worldwide.India is only one of the six nations in the world to have to have full launch capabilities for Space Satellites. Over 1000 Global Companies develop their global software requirements from India.
India
has become the go-to destination for recruitment of quality software engineers and developers recruitment,
with around 75 per cent of
global digital talent present in the
country.The software engineers and developers population in India
was 5.2 million in 2018,
and growing at 90%.
Having worked extensively with the AICTE and other higher education bodies in India, I can say it is the high quality education system of India, which enables this large mass of quality software engineers and developers to be produced. As per Government of India, there are more than 55,000 engineering colleges, which run an IT based graduation program. Many are our technical partners, and I see that most of these graduation programs have extensive on the job training where the budding software engineers and developers are undergoing training on live products. This makes them efficient with coding and programming from day one of their employment. It is no surprise therefore that our company, Magic Billion, has got orders for recruitment of software developers and engineers from many countries like US, Japan and Sweden, where the employers are also open to recruitment of software developers and engineers fresh out of college. The added benefit that global employers have when recruiting software engineers and developers out of India, with the support of companies like Magic Billion, is that they are able to filter a large number of software developers and engineers to recruit just the right kind of candidates as required by them, or in other words, curated to their requirement. Magic Billion also does a variety of profiling of the candidates, to ensure that the recruitment process has software developers and engineers of the right attitude, skills and knowledge, as required by global employers.

Indian software engineers
and developers are ready to support global employers with their recruitment
of talent, and are looking forward to support their existing businesses, as
well as grow them exponentially. And as Magic Billion, we are proud and happy
to support this global talent mobility.
That is an amazing post! Thank you for sharing it.
