1. We don't have stories about individual brilliance/success here in india except when the said individual heads an organization.
2. The article already has a comment promoting a rival indian company developing apps
3. Why would a software factory (as you call it), make you sick ? (serious question). IMHO, those who value ambition/challenge/growth will move out into other companies or start their own and others who value a safe job/see it as just another job will stay
4. I found the crib about apple's 30% cut, quite interesting. He was totally ignoring the cost of employing people to review apps, run an app store and the money that credit card companies charge apple for each transaction.

Software factory - the 'factory' bit is the one that makes me queasy. No innovation, assembly-line processes. It has its place in the industry - 'regular' work needs to be done after all but I'd rather stay clear of it :)

I understood why many wouldn't want to work in such a company. But reading the post I got a feeling that you condemned all such companies. To me, every company has a place. What saddens me is that there are very few companies in India which look beyond services and into product development.
