This past Friday April 15th, 2016 a United State’s Federal Grand Jury in the state of Wisconsin handed down a fine of $940 million dollar fine against because of a trade secret lawsuit that the Epic company filed against India’s Tata Group (which consists of the Tata Consultancy Services and Tata America International Corporation).
In the case above, a federal grand ruled that Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. and Tata America International Corporation must each pay $240 million to Epic Systems for ripping off its software. How embarrassing for an India company to be caught doing something like this.
This is not a good day for India. In this blog I have mentioned many times how wonderful things look for us in India. How we in India are developing a great name for ourselves in the international stage. I keep mentioning how we in India are becoming a world economic power and how the world is looking to our technical abilities and regards them as being excellent. I mention over and over how many excellent and outstanding programmers, web designers and technical professionals we have in IndiaFreelancers.com and how proud we are of their abilities.
But things like this Tata case against the medical software company Epic do not make us in India look good at all. As unpleasant as this story has been, the good news is that this is a small story. There was no super coverage of this story on the evening news in America. This story did not make it to the front pages of the newspapers. This is good. As we in India grow and become more and more respected around the world, we do not want for people to think of us as anything other than completely honest and of the highest integrity.
The good news about this Tata versus Epic case is that people in America and in Europe and the rest of the world think of it as just one company versus another company – and not as Indians behaving dishonorably. Thank Goodness!
So we ask our excellent and outstanding programmers, web developers and technical experts on IndiaFreelancers.com to please be careful which work orders or assignments you accept. With a name like IndiaFreelancers.com, the world is watching to see what we and our excellent programmers in India do. The world is indeed watching India and we want that what they see encourages the rest of the world to continue to feel that we in India are the best of what is to come in the next century – and we most certainly are.
