Solution I

Why no BIG software enterprises originating from Tamil nadu?

There are number of reasons for that. There are three group of businessmen available as of now.
1. Family inherited business class
2. Enterpreneurs with rich family background
3. Enterpreneurs with no penny and having more innovative ideas and they are risk taking people

The first one, Family inherited business classes are plenty in Tamilnadu. especially
Automotive components manuafacturers like TVS, Amalgamations, Murugappa so on.,
Their family's present younger generation are less risk taking and not properly understood
the running software enterprises. They continue their family businesses and flourishing with
new modern technologie and they are surviving in spite of more talented people leaving to IT company.
Mostly these people are minority, upper class Brahmins/chettiars , highly affluent people.

The second one, there are number of young enterpreneurs with rich family background
starting their own businesses away from the areas where their fathers/forefathers were
doing so far. Some of the Naidu (whom are highly blended into Tamil Culture) /Nadar families are
running highly sucessful other businesses. But I don't know about HCL , founded by Shiv Nadar
falling into this category. Not many these kind of people thought about software as a Business
opportunity.
