The information technology industry has truly transformed the way the world looks at India. Rapidly capturing global imagination, the success of its IT industry has placed India at the forefront of the emerging global knowledge economy. According to the National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM), the apex body for software services in India, the revenue of the information technology sector has grown from 1.2 per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP) in FY 1998 to an estimated 5.5 per cent in FY 2008. The net value added by this sector, to the economy, is estimated to be 3.3 to 3.9 per cent for FY 2008.
India's IT growth in the world is primarily dominated by IT software and services such as Custom Application Development and Maintenance (CADM), System Integration, IT Consulting, Application Management, Infrastructure Management Services, Software testing, Service-oriented architecture and Web services.
The government expects the exports turnover to touch US$ 80 billion by 2011, growing at an annual rate of 30 per cent per annum, from the earlier few million dollars worth exports in early 1990s.
As per NASSCOM's latest findings:

Banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) remained the largest vertical market for Indian IT-BPO exports, followed by high-technology and telecom. These sectors together accounted for nearly 60 per cent of the Indian IT-BPO exports in FY 2007.
