Indian companies (IT or others) never had to worry about people shortage earlier. What has changed in last few years is dilution of the skills level, and a broad growth in many sectors. So IT jobs may not be so fancied as earlier.

In my own experience, I have seen people with actual programming and work skills much better than their resume would have told. In fact, that may work well in a product company, not so much in service where people are groomed eventually to be able to communicate with clients. Hence the emphasis on English speaking, communication skills, employability … none of which has anything to do with actual programming!

I have recently written about how good is pursue formal education for entrepreneurial expertise; may wanna have a look - Can business schools build entrepreneurs?

When it is claimed that the trained high students were performing at the level of the college grads, what work are they referring - programming?

It seems that a 9 month course is not adequate enough to arm high school students with skills in math, software programming, algebra, logic and higher english reading comprehension and writing skills. It is mind boggling that he is able to claim parity with college graduates.

His secret might be that he employs software that is easy to use but is proprietary and thus expensive but it enables his workers to produce good code. I wish to be enlightened.
