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.

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 :)

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.
