The Covid pandemic has accelerated expertise adoption in nearly each sphere of life. It has additionally jumpstarted the usage of new applied sciences like Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, and the Internet of Things, bringing the long run nearer to us. But this has additionally elevated the demand for builders and innovators. Since Silicon Valley lacks sufficient builders to satisfy such a problem, India is in a novel place. Today, India has a possibility to reinforce its status for producing competent technologists. However, to capitalize on this chance, India should ramp up its secondary and tertiary schooling educating infrastructure to make sure that the world by no means falls wanting extremely gifted (and essentially the most up-to-date) builders.

Here’s how India can fulfill the demand for high quality tech expertise in Silicon Valley:

Ensuring an enormous expertise pool

India is the second most populous nation on the planet after China and one of many youngest, with a mean age of 29 years. By stepping up its schooling {and professional} infrastructure together with favorable authorities insurance policies, India can readily guarantee a top quality pool of tech expertise that’s technically sound and trade prepared. The New Education Policy, introduced in 2020, is a big step. Under the brand new schooling construction, college students from sixth grade onwards will start studying about knowledge science and coding. This change in early schooling will improve the scholars’ publicity to expertise at a younger age whereas positioning India to paved the way to a brand new world of innovation and creativity.

Maintaining high quality and reliability

Whenever any world tech agency plans to offshore its work or rent tech expertise, excessive requirements, professionalism, and reliability are among the main components thought-about. The Indian schooling system has produced the second-highest variety of CEOs globally, and the standard and reliability of Indian tech expertise are persistently excessive. There’s a motive why India has remained one of many main international sources of prime consultants for the US tech sector for greater than 20 years. A stable instructional base, glorious technical expertise, robust entrepreneurial expertise, and a stable work ethic have given Indian techies a aggressive edge out there.

Be remote-ready and on a expertise cloud.

What is being remote-ready? 

For me, somebody is remote-ready once they current themselves nicely on video calls, have adequate English expertise for technical communication, have a workspace that doesn’t function interruptions, and have a quick and dependable web connection. And, after all, engineers ought to try to at all times be on time.

And a expertise cloud? 

Every tech agency loves pace. People in Silicon Valley need to add folks in days, not weeks or months. 

In the previous, a hiring supervisor would have needed to attempt to determine how good somebody’s schooling was. It took time and didn’t scale. Talent clouds be certain that individuals are prepared to start work, they’re vetted for efficiency of their areas of experience utilizing AI, and their schedule and wage expectations align with the market. If an engineer is on a expertise cloud, they’re simpler to rent. 

Being on a expertise cloud confers a substantial benefit in comparison with a person with their resume on a job board or responding to advertisements.

Many US firms are on the lookout for Indian expertise proper now; our engineers have to make themselves straightforward to search out! The excellent news is that now it may be straightforward to search out somebody regardless of how distant their location is.

As an Indian entrepreneur constructing an organization with an Indian co-founder, I do know firsthand simply how deep our expertise pool is and the way our nation’s expertise pool is an important asset to the world for reaching excellence in a digital-first world. By guaranteeing entry to the suitable platforms and avenues, extra Indian builders can place themselves to take up main positions in Silicon Valley firms with the identical Silicon Valley caliber competence as valley-based builders.
