IT-outsourcing business grows 100 percent in half year


Country’s IT industry made comeback last year - first time after 9/11 incident - when the software export touched $32.22 million, which were almost 50 percent higher from previous figures. The current financial year saw a rising number of call centres, which has grown from last year’s six to 25.


Reality(and the whole internet thingy) is biased against the pakis...Or maybe the internet, the PSEB and Paki newspapers and paki officials are, in the words of the deluded paki, cynical like Dr Hoodbhoy..

Country’s first technology park being planned: Awais


Pakistan, which exported $32.22 million software during 2003-04 is fast becoming become a favoured destination for western outsourcing contracts, based on strong English language skills and cheaper wages.

score so far: deluded paki clutching at imaginary straws produces ONE report of a number - a number contradicted by every other number including paki IT industry numbers - and far less than what he claimed were actual exports, not estimated exports..

Deluded Paki: Meet Google.

Pakistan not yet on the outsourcing map


So far, the numbers tell a less-than-compelling story. In 2004, although the software and IT enabled services business was worth $300 million, (including hardware the figure is $600 million), exports and outsourcing made up for just $33 million of that. By comparison, India logged $12.8 billion in software and services exports in 2004.

So Pakis thought their exports in 2006 would be 100-360 million$....and yet the PSEB numbers, among others, say exports were a piddly 50 million$..heck..even commie calcutta exports more IT than the whole of Pakiland..

Let me repost for peole who have a problem with reading comprehension..

From the website of the PSEB(which is like the NASSCOm of Pakiland, except ``piddlier``)


IT and IT Enabled Services Exports during 2004-2005 : US$ 48.50 million (transacted through the State Bank of Pakistan)

Export target for the current fiscal year 2005-2006: US$ 72 million


So to hear the deluded paki tell it, the PSEB is conspiring against the deluded pakis...

Deluded pakis clutching at straws is nothing new..I remember pakis dancing in the streets over an ecommercetimes report, from 2004, that said Pakiland was the next IT hotspot(ecommercetimes!! HAHA)..

reality hates pakis..

Going West

The South Asian tiger is all grown up. India is no longer just an outsourcing destination for U.S. and European companies. Homegrown Indian firms are now expanding beyond their country`s borders. Indian multinationals have invested $522 million in the U.S., according to Department of Commerce figures from 2004, the most recent year for which data were available. That’s an increase of 80% from 2003’s investment level of $286 million.

Mumbai-based Mastek exemplifies this shift. The 24-year-old technology firm, which had sales of just over $100 million in 2005 and is traded on the Bombay Stock Exchange, began as an outsourcer but now works on complex technology and public works projects in Asia, the United Kingdom and the United States. Recently, Mastek developed software for London`s anti-congestion initiative, a high-tech traffic system that monitors cars driving into the city center and automatically charges a toll.

Circa November 2002

Pakistani IT exports: $120 million: CIO Magazine

And that was 3.5 years ago. The chart in this post suggests that Pakistan`s IT exports grew threefold between 2003 and 2006.

PSEB Figures
Exports in 2002: $25 million
Estimated exports in 2006: 3 x $25 = $75 million

CIO Magazine Figures
Exports in 2002: $120 million
Estimated exports in 2006: 3 x $120 = $360 million

Voila!
Some common sense and arithmetic skills can go a long way in dispelling most delusions.

Deluded paki clutching at straws by posting links that in NO WAY prove Pakiland exports 400million $ of IT(Info Tech and not Islamic terrorism): Priceless..

Latest score:

Pakistan: known in the world for Islamic terrorism
India: known in the world for IT..

re: #105 by arjun_m

HisExcellency: we`re still waiting for your ``proof``..something to counter the numbers from the PSEB..

YAWN!

It`s obvious to everyone but the self-deluded pakis that the world associates Pakiland with Islamic terrorism and India with IT..

Then you`ll have to count the Americans, British, Arabs and Chinese among self-deluded Pakis too.

And by the way, PSEB isn`t the only Pakistani org that conducts surveys. There is also the Board of Investment (BOI), the first place a non-deluded Indian would look before writing gibberish on this board:

Board of Investment

Total Foreign investment in Pakistan (2004-5): $1.6 billion
Portfolio investment (e.g. stock market): $152 million
Stock market investment as % of total investment = 9% only
Foreign Direct Invesment: $1.524 billion

Facial expressions of a Sulking Hindian: Priceless!

the same multiple personality Sybill Syndrome seems to afflict mr. masadi -- gives the impression may be an inborn Pakistani trait -- except for the literary consistency of erudite posts of Hamidm, tahmed, SR, FerozK, Saima Shah, Zeena, Saminasha and others....

Re: # 98

HP divergent posts are callisthenic marvels -- remind me of Dr. Jykell and Mr. Hyde -- some are so thoughtful some so base -- some are highly literate some grossly unlettered -- some are so sublime some so vulgar -- some are so sophisticated some so crass -- some are so bright as day some so dark spooky as Halloween night –

amazing plasticity.....:)

…..#98 seems to come straight from the Dungeon at Midnight.......

HP the brecorder version is better
``Eight killed, 20 hurt in Indian occupied Kashmir gunfight
OCCUPIED SRINAGAR (May 22 2006): Eight people, including two freedom fighters were killed and more than 20 wounded when a gunfight broke out at a rally in the heart of occupied Srinagar on Sunday, police and witnesses said.

Police said attackers, one of them in police uniform, sneaked into a gathering of hundreds of Congress Party supporters in occupied Srinagar and opened fire.``

its time the failed state lifafa-media got a new reminder that LeT which carried the attacks is a banned organization as per circular 2003/PAK43/439 of state department greater afganistan desk and LeT is not an offically sanctioned freedom organization like the contras.
