Top 20 Indian IT companies! Really? What do they manufacture??

Who are the 20 companies in the Indian IT segment? Anyone can guess these companies! They are among the who's who of India Inc.!

Who are the top 20 Indian companies in the Indian IT segment in the manufacturing space? Well, difficult to list, isn't it? Or, what are the top 10 IT products being manufactured in India, by Indian companies? Well, this one also hits a road block!

These are just two questions that have been difficult to answer.

However, we all love to see a top 20 list of IT firms in India, don't we! The road blocks appear when you start probing a little deeper into things such as what they actually manufacture, where is their factory based, and well, how many SMT lines do they have?

Why do we find it so difficult to build IT firms that manufacture in India? Why can't we have more of such home grown firms? And, I don't mean some of the companies who are trying to produce handsets! We don't even have many successful business models to fall back on! Why, we don't even have an Indian equivalent of a Huawei or a ZTE!

My wish for the new year: dear lord, please give India several top notch home grown IT firms who are into manufacturing, and who can make a difference!
