WHAT'S THE FUTURE OF EMBEDDED SYSTEMS IN INDIA?

· India has the potential to make substantial revenues in embedded systems development exports.

· At present India exports embedded systems worth to the tune of $1 billion and this could grow to $5 billion within two to three years.

· India could offer embedded system development services along with manufacturing and market embedded system solutions.

· Apart from Infotech services companies, substantial embedded systems development is being done by multinationals such as Texas Instruments and Intel.

· India has a bright future in embedded systems as the availability of skilled manpower is in abundance.

· Embedded system requires considerable domain knowledge, say in automotive, telecom or medical for which the system has to be designed.

· 15% of HCL staff is working on embedded systems. It contributes more than 30% of HCL Technologies revenues.

· The high level of technological and domain skills required by embedded system are available in India, which gives a definite edge for the country.

· TCS is fast moving up the value chain. The largest software exporter of the country has been developing embedded systems for overseas as well as domestic clients. Now, along with the outsourced operations, TCS is planning to design embedded systems itself.

· Seeing the huge market potential, TCS will be manufacturing the systems in a fabrication unit located elsewhere and marketing it in the India and abroad.

· Wipro has around 4,000 people in embedded systems. If the telecom services are included then the number goes up to 9,000.

· Almost 32% of Wipro's revenues come from embedded systems.
