Will Infosys and TCS disappear in 8-10 years?

worth of 1 lk invested in infosys as on april 16 2012 would be around 18lks as of date 24.5.2019

Yes, these companies have done well so far. But their strategies had been based on cost arbitration . Over the next few this advantage will disappear with the wages on the rise. Further most of their growth is through linear growth, with tens of thousands added to the workforce. This in itself will be hard to sustain unless they move to non linear model of growth. But nothing seems to be coming out from these companies which is earth shaking. They are still pursuing large workforce based multiple year outsourcing contracts and the profit margins under these contracts will be under immense pressure for the aforesaid reasons. But it should be admitted that they have the necessary wherewithal and Human Resources to switch tracks if they have the mind to do. Let us wait and watch before passing the final judgement

One can only hope. It's mind-boggling how they are still able to consistently rip-off global companies for huge amounts of money, delivering incompetence an a lack of ethics by the truck load.

The companies which reinvent and adopt themselves constantly , will never die.See their past,how they were and what they are today.As these companies grow they may engulf the big fishes in developed countris.Who thought that Tatas will take oevr Corus!!.Eventually they will provide lead to developed nations. From services they are slowly but surely migratiing to Product development and there will always be need for newer products.

These companies will exist and grow. They may not grow in India if the price advantage is lost. In that event the companies will shift their delivery presence to the lower cost locations even if that location happens to be North America. The game is no longer about countries winning and losing in the global marketplace... its about corporations winning and losing... and in this game there are no borders.

I know China and am certain that Chinese people generally hate to speak in English. They study it but they don't absorb it. For many Indians, in
contrast, English is familiar and belongs to them. I chat with my
Indian colleague in Hyderabad and his English is faster than mine.
Infosys and TCS have a permanent advantage.

I think it would happen if not in next 8 years certainly in next 20 years.When so many Big corporations that have been extremely successful in many industries have vanished in thin air.TCS and Infosys are nothing compared to those successful corporations.Think about it..

I am certain that this would not happen at all.These companies have evolved from a mere outsourcing service centers to development to solution development houses while this is still in early phase. There is a tremendous knowledge and talent along with best management processes residing in these majors today. We still have a poor quality non corporate governance which is restrictive. None of these companies would be doing what they are doing today in the next 8 to 10 years but they would be developing large community centric social IT Products(I am a doctor and I believe India and China will not be able to even basic health care to all their people without IT medical application ) and applications managing vast
populations needs than merely addressing business houses. In other words if they can visualize,India and China would become their biggest growth engines with US a minor engine and Rest of World acting as bogies.

Well,they may not disappear as such, but definitely the developing economies ,especially, Asian countries will certainly give them a run for their money. The reason is their cost effectiveness given the rising cost of manpower hiring in India which is rising exponentially.This will definitely make them more expensive than most developing economies.Add to that the growing threat from China which is fast catching up with India in proficiancy in the English language which gave us the initial advantage over most non english speaking countries. TCS and Infosys, and other big and not so big Indian software companies ,will have to factor this into account in order to survive in the global market in the coming years.

This may be possible as the number of jobs will dwindle with increasing computerization as software that reduces work is further developed. Most of the work done by Indian software 'experts' is low end repetitive work that will not be required with advances in software. It may reach a stage of redundancy and thus, self-destruct.
