[quote] Hi, I am a freelance writer with IT magazine and regularly do their eVoice column (www.itmagz.com), a monthly opinions-based feature. My next topic is Does India have good R&D manpower? for which I am asking the following questions: Do you think India's facing a shortage of talented manpower for IT R & D? (Yes/No response) Why are international firms attracted to India - low operating cost / good manpower / huge & ready market base for new product launches / other reason? (Select one or give your own reason) I look forward to your inputs. I also welcome inputs from students, especially IT students. Please answer this question only: Do you feel you have a brighter future in an Indian R&D centre or a foreign one? Why? (Answer in one line only please) I look forward to a good response. Please PM me your replies, clearly mentioning your name, designation, company, address and telephone number, so that we can send you a complimentary copy of the magazine.
