Where did that $250 billion come from? Typo?

The Indian IT industry is worth $60-75 billion at present. Remember, it's the whole IT industry. BPO sector hardly touches even $20 billion. Given its value, the hype it has earned for more than a decade is ridiculous and unjustified.

Yea.. Sorry about 70 Billion. My bad. That's a valid argument to make. But given the growth that the BPO industry has seen and given the industry employs mostly young people. I think its still important to consider its cultural impact.
