Indian IT Firms Face Risks of U.S. Market Dependency
Imagine Indian IT companies are like lemonade stands.
Most of their customers are in one country, the U.S. A tech expert says this is risky.
If the U.S. has problems, like rising costs or fewer people wanting lemonade, the Indian lemonade stands could struggle.
They might make less money.
Even though there aren't tariffs, problems in the U.S. can still hurt.
Some lemonade stands are trying to sell to other countries to be safer, but it's not always easy to find new customers.
Indian IT firms are heavily reliant on the U.S. market for revenue.
A Delhi-based tech professional warned about the risks of this concentration.
The U.S. accounts for over half of Indian IT sector revenue, and some firms are even more exposed.
Risks include tightening visa rules, rising costs, and potential client budget cuts.
Diversification efforts are underway, but the sector remains highly concentrated.
