American tech grads are unemployable: HCL CEO
By
SiliconIndia,Tuesday, 23 June 2009, 20:19 Hrs
Bangalore: HCL technologies' Chief Executive Vineet Nayar recently said that American tech graduates are basically 'unemployable', according to an InformationWeek report. He says that he views American tech grads as inferior to those from India, China and Brazil. American tech students only enter the field to get rich or to dream up the next big thing while students from India and China are willing to handle even the boring part of the industry, ITIL and Six Sigma.

Several months ago few western CEO had claimed that even though India produces second largest number of engineers in the world, more than half of them are unemployable. They also say that Indian graduates are smart, driven and they work for a pittance compared to their Western counterparts but lack critical thinking and creativity and function like robots.
Nayar has responded back to such claims as he feels that Americans are too costly to train as compared to Indian graduates who are highly trained in real life applications because they attend vocational courses and have hands on experience. HCL, however, has recently announced that it plans to open a delivery centre in North Carolina with an investment of $3.2 million and will hire over 500 employees over the next five years under a U.S. Job Development Investment Grant.
These remarks from Nayar have already created quite a few controversies. InformationWeek's Robert Preston wrote: "Imagine if the CEO of a U.S.-based tech company marched into Mumbai seeking a bigger share of the country's multibillion dollar market and declared the locals to be unemployable and un-trainable. A culture of innovation isn't inconsistent with one that values attention to detail." Few websites have taken this to extreme. A protectionist web site JobDestruction.com has sent email newsletter which says, "HCL hires Indians almost exclusively, so it's safe to assume that Nayar's disparaging comments don't just apply to our young college graduates. He thinks ALL Americans are unemployable."

2: Mr. Nayar, Hope we all are working towards
making a one Globe instead of different
countries and their capability. We know HCLs
capabilities too, why do hire people on big
post who are with US degrees?
Please don't stop the progress which we are making in ONE WORLD by your lose comments.
Indians are behind other countries just because of people like you. I am sorry to say this.

3: The comment is unfair or a smart positioning
ploy. The truth however is that the American
under-grad, grad, and post-grad education
system is of very high quality, probably the
best in the world. If one sheds one's
parochial blinkers, the difference with the
Indian system will be obvious. Other than a
handful of IITs churning out a couple of
thousand engineers (for a population of 1.2
billion!), what we to boast about? Anyone who
has delved into the IIT system knows that it
is mediocre or worse by global standards,
revelling only on "cream-in-cream-out"! How
many patents, new products, nobel laureattes
do the IITs produce? Instead of running down
others, let us create a few hundred genuine
centres of excellence.

4:I have personally witnessed a large group of
HCL contractors surfing on the Internet all
day and not performing any work whatsoever,
all the while displacing Americans at an
American Corporation on American soil.
The blame really falls on the incompetent management of the corporation that does not have even the slightest understand of what it is they are managing let alone some method to measure productivity.
The irony is that this company is about to fold having wasted hundreds of millions of dollars.
I am sure this group of Internet surfers will move on to the next incompetent corporation here in the U.S.

5:We should not get carried away by the
achievements of a few IIT alumni, where even
these successes have mostly been achieved
overseas, mainly USA, Mr. Nayar. But what has
been the record of the Indian technical
colleges? In terms of research, new
curriculum, patents, awards in international
fora, publications etc? Quite dismal. If you
select 2000 cream-de-la-cream from a
population of 1.2 billion smart Indians, you
will get excellent output. But that does not
mean the system is world-class. Instead of
getting carried away, and making such
laughable comments, let us improve our
system. USA has over hundreds of world class
technical colleges, where even the no 100 is
top class. But we can not count beyond 4 or 5
IITs.

6:I entirely agree with Mr. Singhal. IITs are
good because they pick up a few thousand
cream of the cream. Basically the professors,
the curriculum, the labs, the research all is
of very low standard. Let us remove our
blinkers, as he said, and try and improve our
system.

7: This is just a bullshit statement Mr.
Nayyar...Although americans are not so
talented as indians but they have some
dignity thats why they dont do low paid jobs
and dont wake up at the time of sleeping.They
work to live life not live to work
lifelong.Being a CEO Of such a bullshit
company who is not able to pay his own
employees,makes no standards and distinction
between a BA & an engineering guy have no
rights to say like this.Such a substandard
CEO of a highly substandard company......
Company motto...Employee First initiative.The employees are the first one to get F****d whether its concerned about salary or technical skills.You will forget your own technical skills if you will join this company.!!!!!

12: HCL - it is a cheap labor, sweat shop, so why
should one pay attention to this idiot.
The Yahoos, Goofles, the Facebooks, Twitters, Nvidias and Apples of the world have been created by US tech graduates.
India's tech graduates (unless they have an advanced degree from US/Europe, Australia) are yet to create a world renowed brand.
They are followers, not leaders.

16:India was the BEST country before thousands
of years. infact was the RICHEST one too.
Invasion and slavery by foreigners over the last 10 odd centuries and the corruption after that has led to all these talks.
Given a matter of wealth and support anyone will be able to any task and if people disagree with this they need to read a lot about the operation of human brain.
The capability cannot be compared between two, might be the support in terms of education, wealth may affect a person's life.
This is infact in positive side with the Americans and on the other hand, these days though Indian economy and global stature have shown some progress, such quality on a large scale still lacks, only few exists in India.
Coming to what Nayar said, you have to agree that Americans at least in the business sector given their quality education looking for a dignified job will not show flexibility. Well not to say thats wrong. Its their personal wish.
If they mean to say the Americans are employable then why the companies over there prefer outsourcing rather than giving jobs to their own folks.
You have to reason it out because they cannot afford to the expectations of those guys.
The present stature of India though its economically stable still many of its people are not as rich as those in America and hence prefer to show flexibility in their work for their sustainable income.
well as far as R&D is concerned the US govt. is offering millions and millions for the same but what the Indian govt. is offering comparitively. And yet when India tested nuclear devices in Pokran, many of the world giants are baffled. I think the same US also was cautious enough not to encourage the same.
Whatsoever it may be but still India and its people cannot be taken lightly.
Yes IT jobs in India are mostly a no brainer and well these no brainers are mostly outsourced ones of those in US who say so, not to forget that.
In this way i would say when you are not capable of doing this no brainer itself, or when you are not given/accepting the opportunity or overlooked upon the same, whatsoever but still you dont work on it and we indians atleast are able to show tolerance, flexibility, dedication, hardwork, innovation yes ofcourse when you say most of the indians are not good speakers of english, to read the crap codes whats thats already been written, to remodify, to make it work, to implement whatsoever the nonsense enhancements stated all within the DEADLINE successfully for those US companies to benefit largely itself shows the capability of our people.
Lack of training and opportunity for many people in India may be a reason to look out for why you people condemn us.
Well i am not blaming any country based or any of the governments of both the countries and i also have great respect for both and many of their peoples too.
US people may be having potential to display however due to the substantial life of Indians, its not wise to state we are way behind.
Once again stating that given the job of IT industry, companies go for Indians as a better choice not because US guys r inflexible or seeking for money but because of the success what they have achieved after employing the Indians who showed more flexibility and other characters.

17: It's quite interesting to hear so many
adverse reactions for Mr Nayar's comment -
how many have heard American CEO commenting
on non-employibility of Indian graduates. Yes
I agree many Indian graduates indeed are
unemployable but lets understand the
background of our education system. But when
an Indian CEO makes a comment on
employability of American - then all hue and
cry begins. Lets introspect rather make it in
an emotive issue
Posted by: viswanath - 25 Jun, 2009
18: These accusations and counter-accusations
will go on. It is true that the American
Education System is designed to promote
creativity and innovation and the Indian one
to make conscientious executives.At a
managerial level our people i.e. Indians
really excel. Indians do attain the technical
expertise required, to do the job well by
giving attention to detail, and once the work
plan is made and their path is charted out
take the task to completion positively, but
surely in the department of creative
visualization are wanting. I must say
American educated technical graduates and
their Indian counterparts make a
complementary combination. Thus neither
Nayar's comment is wrong in toto, or for that
matter the "Western CEO" who made that
comment.

20: I have worked in HCL as a delivery manager
and consider myself fortunate to have
observed and learnt a few things from Mr.
Nayar. People who have written a few
negative comments about him forget that he is
a champion when it comes to the welfare and
wellbeing people whowork for HCL. People are
more important to me than customers. He
actually practices the open door policy and
those who had grievances/problems could write
to him in confidence. I have seen action
taken within a very short period of time.
What more can you ask from a person who runs
a company of this size and scope of
operations? No wonder HCL has been rated as
No. 1 employer in India in terms of people
satisfaction. He understands the business and
I have no doubt that he has his reasons for
making such a comment.
Posted by: Chandu Chatterjee - 24 Jun, 2009
21: How stupid comment is this.Its better to look
internal to your company, My Nayar.I have
worked in HCL and had left just because of
internal polities.HCL\'s manager are the
worst manager in this industry.They are not
employable to other companies.As far as
technical persons are concern they are also
not very good.Manger always ask to their work
from a technical persons and they just kill
the technical skill of these employee.Its
better Mr Nayer to concentrate to prepare
more technical guy for you company.It\'s not
good to make a comment on others.Just let
your team member to do the Technical thing
rather then the project management other wise
you will face the great difficulties in
coming future.Its better to retain the
technical guy in your company. I know very
well Good technical guy can\'t stay in this
stupid and full of polities company.

I think Americans have dignity and for the sake of money they will not take up jobs which can be humilating to their pride,national and self respect.Please correct me if I am wrong.
Let us not concentrate on Americans but focus on the constructive development of the Indian labour force which also dreams to improve its quality of life..

30: A remark like this totally childish coming
from a CEO. People in such highly responsbile
positions usually refrain from expressing
their opinions, however substantiated, in
public - leave alone an unsubstantiated
nationalistic slur like this one. It is not
an America vs. India war, as this esteemed
CEO makes it out to be. Large societies like
India and USA would not thrive without some
degree of meritocracy at all levels. Talent,
merit, character, integrity and honest,
industry are not brand based attributes -
rather they are built, nurtured and grown
over long term.
All said, I work in a large and a highly successful US company. I see no basis for Mr. Nayar's assertion. On the average, americans understand the business environment much better, keep their work like highly professional, and are better at meeting their expectations. True, their socio economic environment has not yet reduced them to a state of unpaid work in order to be spending 12-14 hours a day. Despite all the recent loot by the Bush, Obama &c administrations, some of the hard won socio economic benefits of employees remain in force in the US. Obviously, this seems like a state of sour grapes for the likes of Mr. Nayyar who are looking for cheap employees wherever than can. The US education system places a lot of value on inquiry, questioning, independence, developing one's individuality and self expression - as opposed to rote learning, conformity & targeting one's entire learning experience towards the next BPO or IT job that comes along the way. This is what the big 5 IT companies of India have reduced the vast majority of younsters to - to look up to nothing above and beyond their software sweatshops.

31:Nayar's comment should be taken in the
context in which he spoke. A services company
like HCL is always looking for people who do
the job in a certain way, follow the
standards to the letter. For this, the
American graduates who fit his description
are "unemployable". But it is also these
people who look for a quick buck and invent
the next best thing who make cause the big

32: I am a graduate from Indian college working
in US. For last 10 years I have been building
teams in India and working with them. Recent
Indian graduates are smart, talented and hard
working but only few have experience of
challenges of building real products. Many of
them want to become manager as soon as they
have 3-4 yrs of experience under their belt.
As a result most of smart techies become
manager after 4-5 yrs and lose touch with
technical stuff and it is really hard to find
motivated and experienced techie in India who
has 7-8 yrs of good technical experience. The
quality suffers.
What HCL CEO says is bogus and unfortunate. You expect more thoughtful comments from a CEO. I have worked with HCL as well and I know for fact what I said above is true for HCL as well.

say this statement, even though you are in
service industry and getting the support work
of those product which is developed by

better use of the resources available and try
not to play with the futures of the young
graduates bcause IT companies are hiring
gradutes and are not informing the students
when they have to join which is really
becoming a tough time for the young mass in

39: Nayar should ponder of Mr. NarayanMurthy's
comments when he said that 85% of the Indian
graduates are not usable. Now a days it is so
easy to get into engineering college in India
that in any other part of the world, thanks
to private institutions. I deal with Indian
as well as American graduates every day,
beyond a doubt that Indian Graduates from
IITs or Regional Engineering colleges are at
par to any American graduate, unfortunately
most of them Indian engineers graduating from
private colleges are not at all usable before
3-4 years of experience.

41: Mr. Nayar and his followers must understand
that Whatever Americans and rest of the world
invents, we are there only to do their
clerical jobs, petty coding or
implementation. Clearly they are the masters
and we are the slaves. Again, We get those
jobs only because we proudly project
ourselves as the 'cheapest' in the world. Do
you think, if we projected ourselves as the
most costly resourses because of our
excellant talents, we would have got even 1%
of these jobs, let alone the creamy jobs. On
the contrary, Americans, Japanese, Germans
are proud to call themselves as the costliest
resourses, and charge heafty for their hours.
That being so, What creativity are you then
claiming?
85% of this generation indian engineers, be it Electronics, electrical, mechanical or civil, all end up doing IT jobs, which does not demand engineering skills. Anyone who has his hands and eyes working, forget brain, can do these jobs. Thats why engineers, MCAs, B.Scs, Diplomas, even 12th and highschool dropouts do the same kind of tasks, and have same status, pay and recognition. IT, at least in Indian context is not for engineers. Inspite of using our engineering talents for these petty IT jobs, we should have used those skills for establishing internation indian products and brands. Americans understand this fact, that might be the reason Mr. Nayar is not able to find employable "engineers" from US to do his petty IT jobs. Remember, in all other industries like medical, engineering, law etc, position, recognition and tasks are according to qualifications. Wake up indian engineers, please have self respect.
Finally, what % of Indians have dared to create international indian brands when compared to Americans, Japanese, Germans. We dont have a single software product which the whole world use, only big IT companies working for Americans. Only one Tata that too only in automibile.
Dont pretent to be the masters when you actually have nothing in hand.

'employable' because they don't want to work
for a low salary and are not attractive to
the job market. They demand a stake in their
work which is good and which is a good reason
why they have been leading innovation. We
Indians are risk averse and our companies
atleast so far had shied innovation.
Nothing wrong with what he said and then for a country to develop we need two kinds of people the one's who risk and inovate and the one's who do the grunt work.
I don't think Indians are less creative it is just that they are content to have a secure job and an average lifestyle.
On the contrary our education systems have thought us not to trust our teachers(underqualified) not to trust our books(outdated)and not to depend on our system (no explianation needed)Indians inspite of working for these low pays are highly individualistic.
The recession is a blessing in disguise and soon the IT giants should start sheeding their inefficiencies and people would move to start ups

as he/she has talent to perform the given
job. It is not dependent on Indian or
American. I am proud to be an Indian but it
doesn't mean I should criticise other country
men/women. It is true that Indian origins do
lot of hard work but we do have creative
individuals. Americans invented technology
but who took it to the next level....it is
Indians so it is an absolute balance. We are
a global citizen now so one should think on a
global level.
I personally see only one problem. Indians are very political in every sector, may be because we were ruled by Britisher’s who are snakes (Bites even those who feed them milk) I haven’t seen the kind of Professionalism which Americans has in any other country in the world. I may be wrong but it is a personal experience and opinion. As far as HCL concern, I haven’t heard anything good about them than bad including Perot System (Asia Pac, not USA) which was with HCL some years back. I personally know Perot has some HCL rooted pigs.

52: No doubt what they are saying is true. An
american of today is incompetant, wants to
get rich quick - even if they have to sue you
for the heck of it, and don't want to work.
Average productivity of an American worker is
around 3 hours out of 8 and if you tell them
something - they are looking to bring law
suits and the laws of many states are filthy.
An average american costs around 20 times
compared to talent availability in the global
market. For example, you can get a far
better producing person in India at around
less than $1000 per month compared to some
one charging more than $1500 per day. Many
times, they just want to be on-board - just
to become eligible for unemployment
allowance. Moreover the American government
departments are run by old boys network - who
act like Mafias. The funny thing is - you
ask them information under FOIA - first of
all they delay or don't give you the
information. Even if they do, to cover up
their corrupt practises, they provide you
ONLY the information that you submitted and
that too REDACTED. And this country is
preaching others to go democratic and honest
- scammed hypocrats.

62: Thinking on broader perspective, there is a
cultural difference between the two nations
and giving an opinion such as this, does
carry a deep understanding of the culture and
American system but wouldn't assure you on
the vice versa. To understand Indian culture
is far more complex then understanding the
American Culture. Look at major corporations
in the US such as Microsoft, Oracle, NASA,
IBM all these have a significant % of Indians
working and they have evolved giving products
that the world is running on, for e.g the
first pentium processor, the USB to name a
few products, there are many more such as
these. It takes lots of creativity,
understanding, Intense reasearch , Hard and
Boring work and do it yourself committment.
If Indian Techies are Motivated and Inspired
and offered the right platforms, there is no
looking back for India. India is a
Diversified economy with substantial talent
pool. Thanks.

78:I have to side with you on this. Indian IT
professionals are content to do the grunt
work. And in the absence of creative thinking
that's what they would be qualified for.
Besides, these professionals do not work to a
project plan, because they are so used to
work at a Task level. They wait to be told
what to do and glue themselves to a
technically savvy individual for their queues
on how to accomplish their technical tasks.
Communication is another major issue. Indians
of modern day India are prone to translate
concepts from their local language into
English. And we know how much can be lost or
miscommunicated in translation. And yes
again, Indian IT companies offer peanuts and
rightfully deserve monkies. Indians may be
technically savvy at the bits & bytes
level but never at a Project level.
Vineet Nayar's comment: "American tech students only enter the field to get rich or to dream up the next big thing..". He is right. American students enter all fields to improve their lot in life and maintain a high standard of living, something that Indian IT employers in the US are bent on destroying. And yes again - they are intent on dreaming up the next big thing. That's what innovation and progress are all about. And once they actualize their dream they outsource it to India!

Now we have trillion dollar deficits.
Aside from Iraq, the U.S. hurts itself most
of all.
Having said that, I agree that many American students avoid "the hard stuff" and there is an emphasis on "getting rich." But I disagree that those who graduate from our tech schools are somehow inferior to those who graduate from tech schools in India and/or other places. It's not that those who graduate are inferior - it's that there are fewer Americans who choose any kind of engineering as a career in the first place.
It seems to me that while India excels in implementation, it's mostly American companies that excel at creating innovative new products and markets, Apple being just one example.
I happen to work in an American company in which most of the programmers are from India. While this is too small a sample to apply any generalizataions to, I would say that while our programmers are willing to work extremely hard, there is a total lack of imaginataion, strategy and quality orientation. They tend to care much more about how the tools they have chosen to use work than the needs of the businesses that use the software. And they have absolutely no practical training in user-interface whatsoever.

Mr. Frustated Manager said. And i dont live
or work in US. The Indians or My country
fellows are really bothered about tools and
they dont concentrate or catch the concept
behind. No wonder in a last interview of
sourcing from India of Design Engineers ,
only 1 fellow got through after interviewing
12 so called best matching candidates. Sorry
it was not once it happened, sometimes we
came back taking no one. Now stop rubbing
your selves and calling ourselves as Super
Brains and so on. We are poor/ we want to
earn more and more support family atleast
parents , get married to a good looking girl
with lots of dowry or atleast property. I

the last few years that Indian kids are like
robots and can think outside the box.I can
understand this due to the parenting of
Indian children. However, you should see the
bright side they are I agree smart in some
ways but in other ways they lack logical
reasoning but I see the drive to finish. A
software company that we work has outsourced
some of the work to their counterparts in
Mumbai you cannot fathom the issues that I am
going through. I have to spoon feed them and
give them detailed explanation of the
requirements when it is essentially there and
implied in simple words. So in short there
was no need for such remarks on both sides.

how they are good with technology without
basic linguistic capability.
My suspicion is, just like Nayar, most Indian graduates don't know one thing about their subject and have passed got their certificates through illegit means. They are just very good at fooling everyone.
Certificates don't mean a thing.
Btw, don't forget that the technology you claim to know so well was created by westerners. If they didn't do that you will be still sitting in your village and fighting over caste, region and religion.

And still It has got a very bold and hidden hold in a country like US and UK.You are talking about forged degree certificates. I doubt that you may have such forged degree certificates. Please hold your words before you write anything about Indian especially on internet. I guess you need to go to school and learn more.

Indian talent has been earning accolades since ages… go and do some Google on this… you’ll come across some interesting facts on ancient Indian technology. We have renowned mathematician and technology experts in India, only if you care to learn something from the wisdom and knowledge they carry. All American organization boasting of inventing new technology and products utilize Indian minds to say so. NASA, AMD, Intel, Cisco are some names among bunch of such companies…. :)
Vineet Sir, you said a right thing and man I salute you as you have guts to say so… I am a proud HCLite! We’ll still manage to bag projects from America as they know who is the best, you just said it and it created a stir!

we (Indians) know really what Mr.Nayar has

the way (robotised) of our work contributions
extracted by Uncle SAM & even by some of
our own Indian companies. The work
atmosphere, living conditions, economic
situations, honesty of the fellow workers
& administrators (read politicians, govt
workers) lead to such situations to make us
Indians the ROBOTS & the Americans such
HEROES. Well we need to change the way we
look our country, in the same way we like the

such inefficient leaders who have the powers
to shape our future.

thing to do. There are non performing
elements everywhere. However Mr. Nayar has
mentioned the bitter truth, some people have
problems swallowing it. So be it.
Yes its true that we're not as expressive or demanding as some of our American counterparts but the fact still remains that we provide quality service and the world agrees to it. I don't really see any dearth of creativity/ innovation in Indians but expressions may be a problem somewhere. But in the times of economic crisis and survival of the fittest, we're the only option because we're quicker at learning and implementing than american counterparts and we don't throw tantrums every time.

124: Well, the comments above are true to a
certain extent. In US or any other country
including India you will find only 20% of the
grads as employable. But if this
disequilibrium is not there then every one
will try to become the CEO of the company.
80% of the company workers work like robots
and those who don't and try to excel, bags
the top posts. But in US, the American tech
grads might be unemployable because they
think that they are destined to deserve the
best. Its the attitude problem with most of
the Americans. I had been working on a global
basis and has been able to discover the fact
that the Indians fail to make their mark
because they fail to escalate the things in a
proper manner. Americans or Britishers are
pretty fast in escalating the things but
Indians despite having good amount of
knowledge and done good work fail to
escalate.

India has a long way to go before it can truly claim global leadership in cutting edge technology innovation and software development that rest deeply on domain knowledge.

127: "Unemployable", tricky word is it not. The
Question is what exactly did the HCl CEO mean
when he said that American tech grads are
unemployable. He believes that the Indian
techies are easier to enslave than their
American counterparts. Indian techies don't
know how good they are and would keep working
as slaves until they die of old age. And if
knowing how good one is and expecting ones
worth makes you "unemployable", so be it...

have opened R&D centers.
Simply, ROI will increase by 200%+, if invested in India. And, in current situation (Global Economy Slowdown), who will not like to profit? Hats off to those half employable tech grads from India.
