The fiscal year 2011-12 was one of the toughest for the Indian IT, says
Dataquest magazine's annual survey of Indian IT sector. And unlike

spoilsport.
The sentiment in the Indian market was at its lowest ebb. The global
uncertainty only compounded matters for the IT industry. However,
despite sluggishness, Indian IT's exports have grown from 14% in FY10 to
22% in FY11 and almost 29% this fiscal. According to the survey, which
ranks the biggest 200 IT companies in the country in terms of revenue,
the growth is testimony to Indian IT's resilience.
