I’m not sure how accurate StatCounter is, given that most Linux users use adblockers. However, according to it, Linux has almost a 14% desktop share in India.

C is for Cognizant btw. But Cisco wouldn’t be too far off.
It’s a desi-fied version of WITCH, for those familiar with that term.
We use TCS and Accenture at my work and I’m aware of us using Cognizant and HCL as well. You’re bang on removed all those companies and also “first world” compankes for removeding the local employment market and removeding overseas workers.
Race to the bottom. Nothing matters but the bottom line.
Come over to team Guix System, we have cookies 🍪
Hey, thank you for this comprehensive feedback! I’ve emailed the guix-devel mailing list to draw attention to your critique because I think it’s important.
Hurd is dead. If you want to contribute I would look at the fsf priority projects
It sounds like avoiding cookies would be a part of that movement
Just curious what you opinion of Zoho is vs the ones you listed. Do they treat staff better?
As a MoS&E student in northern Europe I’d love to hear why these companies have such a bad rep over in India. They’re doing massive recruitment drives at my uni (along with BCG) and sponsor a lot of student events, so I don’t hear many bad things about them.
…because they just throw people at projects with no regard to skill set or level. Their business model is get contact, hire lots of tech grads, assign them to project, cross fingers. They’ve ended up with a reputation of not being able to execute, and they doing it by paying people at the start of their career the lowest amount they can. If you end up on one of these projects, and are actually capable, then everything gets heaped onto you.
Ah, makes sense then why they’re pushing so hard to have a presence at our universities. Hopefully I’ll be able to avoid such employers in the future. Thanks for the heads up!
Also to add the Indian market is so saturated any “good one” you get knows their worth and dip out at the first opportunity. Leaves giant companies left holding the bag on a model that has skeleton crews containing all the tacit knowledge with no means to do anything. “Oh well just bring in vendors to do xyz” ignoring the operational cost going forward. The current business model employed by fortune 500 companies was and is unsustainable. Great for their bottom line though.
What’s wrong with Cisco? I heard that it has a great culture and pay.

I don’t know much about this CHWTIA. But I do know someone who works at Capgemini, can you tell me why they are considered exploitative? Genuinly curious.
Underpay and overwork their Indian workers like a motherremoveder.
Return to office is mandated back to 5 days a week and 9 hours a day minimum at some of these places. The company makes bank but the workers get cents on a dollar.
Why are these companies the worst? It’s a honest question since I actually don’t know much about them.
How do you make money?
When you’re ready to go back to the job market, I recommend you to join a company that develops a product. Not a service company that will sell you like fresh meat to its clients, like the one you listed.
Do you have any interest in relocating outside India? You seem to have a good domain of English and softskills on top of some Linux. I wouldn’t mind taking a look at the personal projects you mention
ch*tiya is not sexist, it is a synonym for calling someone epic proportions of an idiot or buffoon.
Well, l*wda is also sexist and misandrist, and used just as often, and so are mixed slurs like bkl or mkl. Every culture has these kinds of slurs. And it will be decades before that changes in India, or any country, because “westernisation” will no longer gain cultural traction, as it is beginning to hurt many people brazenly.
chatiya? chetiya? chitiya? chotiya? chutiya?
Why are you censoring yourself? I’m not sure that word means anything in English.
Hindi. Hindi happens to be one of the top 5 spoken languages of the world.
That may be, but most Hindi speakers are quite concentrated in one area of the world and IIRC make up less than 10% of fediverse or something.
Many Indians simply type English on the internet, because foreigners cannot understand Hindi. However Indians among themselves often use Hindi, just like Chinese, Russians, those who speak Spanish, Esperanto or Portuguese (Brasil). That does not mean those languages have less speakers, they are just not visible on “western corporate” internet.
