Hello ShipFam 🙋‍♂️✈️

I'm Dattaram Walvankar from ShipOps Insights with Dattaram – where I guide shipping professionals not just on operational excellence but also personal and professional growth with the power of perspective.

Today, let me take you beyond the ocean routes, into the world of Indian IT — a sector that once scripted dreams, now facing real waves of change. Here's a journey we must all learn from.

 

1. 📚 The IT Revolution: A Dream in Code

In the last 30 years, Indian IT revolutionized our economy and society. It built an empowered urban middle class, created millionaires out of employees and investors, pushed real estate growth, and brought in billions in foreign currency.

Just imagine this: a young engineer in a Tier 2 city would dream of learning coding, joining an IT company, and transforming their family’s destiny. It was India's version of the "American Dream."

Thousands of freshers hired yearly by giants like TCS, Infosys, Wipro. A golden age!

But dreams shift... and so does reality.

2. The Downturn Nobody Saw Coming

Recent headlines are jolting:

  • TCS to let go of 12,000 mid-senior professionals.
  • No pay hike in Infosys.
  • 2023 grads still waiting for joining letters.
  • From lakhs of hirings to just thousands now.
  • Bench strength cleared in 30 days!

Even NRIs are affected. The contraction is global.

It's not just numbers. It's dreams paused. Families anxious. Cities slowing down.

3. But Why? The Blind Spot in the Mirror

While the Indian IT sector was earning big, it mostly remained service-focused. They didn't invest enough in AI, deep tech, product development, or innovation.

The world moved to automation, while we kept offering manual services.

Result? We’re late to the future.

The IT sector became a victim of its own success. What worked before isn’t working now.

4. 🏢 Ripple Effect: Beyond the Cubicle

This slowdown is not isolated. When IT sneezes, the economy catches a cold:

  • Urban real estate is seeing delays and reduced demand.
  • Premium consumption is shrinking.
  • Training, staffing, consultancy companies are also impacted.

Everything is connected. One industry's stagnation slows down many others.

5. 🤔 The Bigger Questions India Must Ask

India must face the storm head-on:

  • How do we generate high-paying jobs at scale?
  • Youth unemployment is rising. Gig economy is not enough.
  • Many are stuck in "self-employment" with no stability.

We need action, not just aspiration. Skill-building, job creation, and futuristic investments must become our mantra.

What do we need?

  • Invest in AI, Deep Tech, Green Energy.
  • Attract global product startups to India.
  • Focus on serious upskilling.

The IT sector took India to the world. But what will take us beyond?

It's time to be bold, visionary, and purpose-driven.
