Many other countries now look to it as a model. At the same time, India's concentration of low value-added services, the near-absence of technology development, and the total absence of hardware development suggest that IT exports are not fulfilling their potential, either in terms of innovative content or of possible sustainability. The Indian government has set aggressive targets for the high technology industry, including an annual export growth rate of 33 percent for the next decade, compared with 50 percent over the past five years. These goals will translate to substantial dollar increases in software and IT services exports-from $3 billion in 1998 to $50 billion in 2008. Can this ambitious figure be achieved? Or, perhaps, is it too low, given India's current growth trajectory?

This development is intimately linked to the earlier expansion of the software sector and maturation of the institutional environment. Although domestic firms were early adopters, multinationals, both large and small, are central actors. There is a value-ladder in services, and some of the work done in India resembles that done in developed nations. Also, noteworthy is the speed at which services exports can grow in scale and scope. There is also a possibility for other developing nations to capture service work.
