Abstract: The employees of Indian software industry are known to be “well paid” people in India. This industry has been the dream industry of most of the youth coming out of the colleges. With emergence of ERP and other business process oriented packages, it is attracting non-engineering graduates as well. Presently Indian software industry is at a phase where it is striving to get up the value chain to maintain its edge over the emerging competitors like China, Philippines, Brazil etc. This has resulted in increasing demand for experienced and more productive work force in the industry. As per the law of demand, this increased demand is leading to higher wage rates for that workforce. However as there is human psychology involved instead of commodities, the statistics show a different picture. Depending on socio-economic conditions, sometimes even the high-wage offer cannot attract better workforce. The purpose of this paper is to discuss such wage elasticity of employee engagement among Indian software work force.
