The young woman whose computer screen I peered at through my computer was about an information technology center in Madras. She is a prototypical employee of the new India. She is 25 and a graduate of a local college. Now she works as a transcriber of data for a new Indian IT company. The IT revolution is creating jobs.

The eight factors are:
- Government vision and policies, including funding and tax benefits.
