Google is not the only one. Most American software companies with sophistication are not finding good enough software engineers in India.

IT engineers may be dime-a-dozen in India, but internet search engine leader Google is having a hard time finding candidates with the right skill sets in the country.

Google, which is considered to have a very low attrition rate even in the high-job-hopping Indian IT space, has found it more challenging to hire certain talent in India as compared to other parts of the world, the company's founder-director Kavitark Ram Shriram admitted recently.

Indian IT professionals are good in following orders from American counterparts and deliver low quality application software that needs thorough testing. However, in Internet business applications, they are totally hopeless.

In current environment, you just cannot take a "Math savvy" person and make him or her a software engineer. The person must have a business mind to be able to develop Internet applications. India just does not have software engineers that have business mind.

Indians are either traders or Mathematicians. Unfortunately, they are not both. The talents needed for Internet Application development requires the use of business senses and strong software engineering technical skills. Just mathematical orientation for writing algorithms is just not sufficient.
