Stop projecting India as a cheap alternative. Instead make quality product and sell at premium. IT companies have ruined the country's image. If they hv to become global companies then they hv to take orders inspite of the rising Re. Nobody is interested in devaluation of the Rupee just b'coz these exporters need cheap labour. So stop cribbing and move ahead with an appreciating Rupee

well, if an indian company refuses to work on a project because they aren't making enough, their are others waiting to grab the business.
It's a competitive world, and IT margins are still very high and so are Indian salaries compared to other trades.
In US they wanted to cut cost, they brought programmers from India. Then they began outsourcing. Now they will ask for cuts in bill rates as they know that competition is fierce.
