Abstract

The penetration of software in all facets of life has been so significant that it is not an exaggeration to say that we live in a software-enabled world today. This has led to a flourishing, multi-billion dollar global software industry. However, over the last decade, several economic, demographic and technological factors have substantially impacted the global software industry landscape. Two very prominent developments have been globalization of software development, and emergence of India followed by China as two major software nations. Although the development trajectory of software industry in China has been different than that of India, both China and India are now competing for achieving supremacy in the global software industry.
