“At present, younger companies are creating new technologies and products whereas, for the past 25 years, the IT sector in India has taken the services route. Product-based companies are not replicable and ideas with intellectual property rights form its crux that adds an advantage.” ~Srikanth Srinivasan, Regional Director of NASSCOM
As the IT industry has expanded swiftly in the 21st Century, product-based companies are considered as the way forward as opposed to service-based companies. This is because product-based companies offer a wide array of opportunities like learning new technologies and working on projects where the learning graph is higher.
What do product-based companies look for in their employees?
- Strong foundational knowledge,
- Good problem-solving skills, and
- The ability to use these skills in the real world.
With hands-on, project-led learning, 1000+ ambitious developers have already landed jobs last year in growing product-based companies. Listed below is our pick on the Top 10 product-based companies in India to work for in 2024.
