``Pakistan is emerging as one of the major players in the global IT industry as a result of policy initiatives taken by the government to position the country as an offshore location of choice for IT services.
In terms of suitability for offshore outsourcing, Pakistan now ranks among 20 top countries of the world, recognised by the global community as `Market Leaders and Challengers' and placed in the first category countries. Last year, Pakistan ranked in the third category amongst `Potential Players', occupying 30th position among the top 50 IT potential countries of the world.''
Alauddin Masood, the author of this article, is an author, columnist, educationalist and former bureaucrat of Pakistan. He nicely summarized the rising capabilities of his country in his article of 2008. Begin one-and-a-half years later now, it is good to realize that he was completely right, not only about his predictions, but also about the general terms that Pakistan is emerging as a new world economy very very fast and that it's IT industry is leading the pace.
