As all of you would have probably heard by now, there’s been an alarming spike in the number of employees getting laid off in the IT Sector. With IT giants such as Wipro and Cognizant laying off as many as 500 and 10,000 employees respectively, Tech Mahindra letting go off 1500 of its employees, and with the IT industry itself being responsible for providing jobs to more than 37 lakh Indians, seeing this negative trend is rightfully a cause of concern for all. What’s ignorant, naïve and even dubious, however, is to blame the government for these layoffs. While sections of the leftist/liberal media are trying to have a field day with this development by trying to pin it on the Modi government, the real reason for this trend has actually got nothing to do with Modi and everything to do with a gamut of external factors. Allow me to explain this further.
