Putting it even more emphatically, iGate chief delivery officer Mohan Sekar said, “nobody has any government contracts in India.”

American companies such as IBM, EDS, Accenture and CSC which usually handle large US government projects are expected to be the most affected. All of them have operations in India and are likely to be outsourcing government work here.

“The current move by the US senate to bar offshoring of government work, though may not have a great impact on Indian IT companies, does not augur well for their own economy. Such decisions do not help in moving towards a free-trade policy envisaged by WTO. This Bill is yet to be passed as a law and we hope the US government takes a more pragmatic view and not get pressurised by political considerations,” Satyam chairman B Ramalinga Raju said.
