Growth of IT has been roller coaster in India it has seen astounding success and darkest of hours in three and half decades history. Our country has had rich history of giving the world most ignited minds including great visionaries, innovators and thinkers. Therefore it was all the more easy for us to grow and prosper in Information Technology once we have been introduced to it. Thanks to stalwarts like Mr. Murthy’s, Nelekini’s and Nadar’s who dared to thought differently and wanted to made their own league which was full of difficulties and obstacles and took the challenge of creating something out of nothing. They have chosen this path despite they had option of choosing comfortable jobs with likes of HP and IBM. It is their courage and vision which has given India edge and respective place on world map and today we are being taken as force to reckon with. But off late this great Industry has been rocked by financial fiasco, doller nemesis and Satyam saga to say least has added insult to injury. Amidst forecast of negative growth for industry has force the companies to push panic button to an extent. And whenever such situation occurs the knee jerk reaction company’s takes are to scrape the “BENCH” which they deliberately used to create and nurture in good days to keep the edge over their competitors. But the moment things start looking gloomy BENCH folks are being given ridiculous nouns such as “FAT”. And suddenly “BENCH” becomes biggest nemesis of this industry. However inspite doing these knee jerk reactions if companies put their thinking hats and instead of being reactive if they will be adopt more responsive approach there can be viable solution to this problem. One such solution cab be if there is person (FAT) who has threat of losing his job because he is on bench, Companies can take some initiative under their CSR (corporate social responsibility) in the line of PPP (Public Private Program) and do some projects in rural area’s in large scale wherein such employees can be send on deputation and during this tenure they might not get full remuneration but certain percentage (50%) of his wage. This will not only help employee save his job but also provide him real time training and learnability which will certainly hone his skill and knowledge to make him better professional in future. There can be an argument that this might keep him away from his basic skills but that indeed can be managed by an individual effort in this digital global village age…………..
