India was the first and is still the largest exporter of software among developing countries and annually exports nearly half a billion US dollars worth of software. Yet, aside from journalistic accounts, this industry has not so far been studied in depth. Richard Heeks provides the first critical analysis of the development of India's software industry and the impact on it of the recent policy of liberalisation in the areas of trade, state intervention and foreign investment. The study is located at the intersection of three major trends witnessed in the nineties - the increasing importance of computer software in all aspects of business; the mounting global search for outsourcing services and manufacture on the part of multinational companies; and the growing dominance of neo-liberal policy models inspired by the World Bank and the IMF.
