Smart phones were invented in 1992. It was called the Simon Personal Communicator and it was created by IBM. Although the Simon Personal Communicator did not become a household word, by 1995 the term “smartphone” had become a word we used with frequency. However, despite this, the iPhone, which arguably was the first smart phone to revolutionize things, was not introduced until 12 years later in 2007.

Once upon a time it seemed that the Blackberry was the most dominant smart phone; however today we now know that the two dominant platforms are the iPhone and the Android. After the smart phones came the tablets, and other emerging devices such as smart watches and exercise helpers such as the FitBit. Our world keeps changing.

What do things all have in common? Well what they have in common is that all of these devices need someone to write the code upon which they will run. What these things and the other things to come will have in common is that they will need programmers, web developers and professionals who write code such as the professionals found on IndiaFreelancers.com.

The future tech of things to come will be from a large range of devices such as smartwatches, new home automation devices and things such drones. The one element which is common to all of these future developments is that someone will need to write the code. Just like the new so-called “Internet of Things” (IoT) which promises to wire our homes. All of this will need people to write code for them such as the excellent code writers we have on IndiaFreelancers.com.

So please look to the future. Be aware that the future will need more of IndiaFreelancers.com and not less and join our growing family.

More and more firms – both national and international – are making names for themselves in India. Even more importantly is that, as they do, they need more and more qualified employees.

No company in the world today can exist without having an IT infrastructure. Someone needs to take care of their network, their servers, their websites, their databases and on and on. Therefore, as companies grow, the number of well qualified personnel – especially technical personnel – that is required to keep them growing and thriving increases.

Recently, companies such as so-called “brick and mortar” companies like Tata Motors and Internet based companies such as Flipkart and Vodafone as well as financial firms such as Paytm and Future Group and established companies such as Panasonic, Mahindra & Mahindra and Godrej all announced that they are willing to pay their top performers as much as 200% more for the coming year than they paid them for the previous year – if they keep performing well and if they do not leave the company. For example, financial firm Paytm announced that it has budgeted approximately $3-4 million dollars to pay extra pay and bonuses for its top performing employees. Paytm, as well as other companies mentioned above, have announced that they will also rewarded top performing employees with generous stock options and promotions within the companies.  Companies in India are willing to pay a premium for good talent these days – and this trend is growing!

This is where IndiaFreelancers.com comes in. On IndiaFreelancers.com you, the programmer or web designer, are able to interact with these companies as a prolonged “employment interview.” Companies hire programmers from IndiaFreelancers.com all the time. The way it works is that companies first hire a programmer or developer or website designer using IndiaFreelancers.com and, when they see the quality that the freelancer brings to the table, they offer the freelancer a job in their company.

It is a wonderful “try before you buy” sort of arrangement where everyone wins. The Freelancer is able to get his or her skills in front of companies and the company is able to test the potential employee to see if their is a “fit” between the employee and the company. Everyone wins.

Therefore, if you are a young – or not so young – programmer or web developer who wishes to “break in” into larger companies and their lucrative salaries, consider creating a profile on a site such as IndiaFreelancers.com and letting these large companies FIND YOU instead of you finding them. Let them hire you on IndiaFreelancers.com and see the excellent qualities you bring to the table – and very possibly they will hire you.
