Commenting on NI's activities in India, Jayaram Pillai said LabVIEW 8.5 is a major release. "Over the last 10 years we've been in India, we have changed its hardware platdform. One thing that remains common is LabVIEW and what it does for scientists and engineers. We've been able to create a community around LabVIEW. There are users and programmers of LabVIEW. There are certified developers, companies that have been built around LabVIEW. There are applications built around LabVIEW," he added.

Looking at graphical programming, over the last 10 yrs -- the biggest challenge for Pillai has been to address customers needs for engineers who can program LabVIEW. There's enough excitement in the market about LabVIEW. There are 1,100 jobs at least for LabVIEW.

There are people writing toolkits that can work with LabVIEW, which includes IP, developers, companies, customers, products, systems built around LabView. This has been happening within India.

Pillai said that similar to any technology adoption, there's a take-off stage. "It is called the S Curve, and we are at the bottom of the curve. The potential is huge. Our big challenge is to be able to create more engineers in the market. I feel that over 1,000 engineers are required," he added.

From an academic standpoint -- India has about 400,000+ engineers passing out each year. Only 25 percent are hireable, with reasonable training, by companies. The IITs, state governments, etc. take care of it. That means, there are business opportunities for companies to start finishing schools for training these people for the industry.

Lots of companies are getting into these finishing schools. These students will learn about the tools that they would later need to use.

Pillai stressed that it was important how the country looks at academicians. He said: "We haven't got into this stage as much. The IT industry has done very well and created a huge appetite for engineers. The majority of engineers passing out are hired by the IT companies."

He added: "LabVIEW is getting accepted by people in various projects. We've created a LabVIEW community -- the whole ecosystem."
