Abstract

By adopting a historical comparative perspective,this paper assesses the role of state (both national and subnational) in industrialisation through the growth and policy experience of an ‘achieving’ sector, the information technology (IT) industry. An attempt has been made to identify key constraints facing the IT sector in a highly competitive global market scenario. The state had created (and continues to do so) an enabling platform by building up a world-class infrastructure base of learning, education, training and networking. This, subsequently, contributed immensely towards India enjoying a dominant position globally. [GIDR Working Paper series No. 232].
