| 微软（印度）公司(Microsoft India)董事长拉维•文卡特山(Ravi Venkatesan)认为，印度极其缺乏计算机科学博士人才，正在威胁该国作为全球IT服务外包中枢的地位。 虽然很多印度人留学海外从事研究生学习，但印度的大学每年仅造就大约35位计算机科学博士。而美国每年有大约1000名计算机科学博士毕业。 “这是一个非常急迫而重要的问题，”文卡特山对英国《金融时报》表示。“这影响到未来人才的供给，而原因是教学机构没有足够的合格教员。如果你真的希望在计算机科学方面进行前沿创新，你会受制于这里的人才库。” |
过去10年来，规模470亿美元的电脑服务外包产业的崛起，在印度经济复苏过程中发挥了重要作用。全球企业纷纷进入印度，因为其拥有大量讲英语的人才。
印度的大学每年培养大约50万名工程学大学生，但其中很少人会继续深造。世界银行(World Bank)估计，该国每年培养的科学、工程学和技术学博士总共大约只有7000名。
世行在最近的一份报告中称：“印度的高等教育系统需要培养更多的科学家、工程师和其它学科的硕士和博士，提供满足创新经济需要的技能。”
文卡特山表示，截至目前，印度企业的发展一直依赖于印度与发达国家薪资水平的差异，但这一战略无法持久。
印度IT行业入门级薪资大约只是发达国家同业水平的一半。不过，它们正以每年大约15%的速度增长，7-8年之后，它们将与发达国家持平。

| India's shortage of computer science PhDs is so dire that it threatens the country's role as the world's outsourcing hub for IT services, according to the chairman of Microsoft India. Although many Indians pursue postgraduate studies overseas, India's universities produce only about 35 computer science doctorates a year compared with about 1,000 in the US. “It's an incredibly urgent and important issue,” Ravi Venkatesan told the Financial Times. “It affects the pipeline of future talent because the teaching institutions aren't getting enough qualified faculty and, of course, if you really want to do cutting edge innovation in computer science, you're restricted by the pool of talent out there.” |
The rise of India's $47bn computer services outsourcing industry has been important for the country's economic revival over the past decade as companies around the world take advantage of its abundant pool of English-speaking talent.
India's universities turn out about 500,000 engineering graduates a year but few stay on for postgraduate studies. The World Bank estimates the country produces a total of 7,000 PhDs a year across science, engineering and technology.
“India's higher education system needs to produce more scientists, engineers and other masters and PhD graduates with skills matched to the needs of the innovation economy,” the bank said in a recent report.
While Indian companies have until now relied on the difference between Indian wages and those in developed markets, the strategy is not sustainable, Mr Venkatesan said.
Indian entry-level IT salaries are about half those in the developed world. But they are increasing at about 15 per cent a year and will be on par with the developed world within the next seven to eight years.
