Sanjeev, Looks like you are a NRI with low regard for services. Have you heard of a company called IBM which would have died by now if they had not got in Global Services. Do you know of someone called Accenture - are they a dry cleaner shop? Start thinking - one needs to leverage the strengths you have, India has lot of talent! IP in today's context is momentary, you develop it today, if someone has it before you, it is worthless. All that matters is are you able to run a profitable business, good for your employees and share holders. Do you know what is the bottom line of Infosys? Can you imagine what it takes to make a $ 2Billion software entity? If you would, such comments would never come out!
