It seems to me that more problamatic is the tetonic shift which will come
with 5G, IoT, robotics, ... as the article points out. Here the investments
in India is poor by any standard as India plays the classic "wait and
copy". The IP regime is tightening up as well so this cost is normally not
met in legacy system maintenace which India shines. As legacy is replaced
by cloud and (mobile) apps, have the Indian IT trained enough for this?

Even in "smart Cities implementation, many EU countries are "helping" out
with their innovative products - I did not detect that much innovative
Indian solutions.

Thrump may be "last straw" but I think the main culprit is the tetonic
technological shifts occuring now and the lack of Indian R&D direction.
