Indian Services Companies and Open Source

An interesting thought on Why Indian Services companies do not seem excited or interested in investing in open-source? IMO this is due to the following reasons:

• Being services companies, they have always been reacting to customer demands and industry trends, rather than proactively being thought leaders. (This is specifically about technology trends & thought leaders, rather than outsourcing leadership). This is also a reason why the services companies are not hugely succesful in Technology Consulting and traditionally focused just on Application Development.
  
• Indian services companies usually have no clue about product management, and creating innovative products. After-all how many Indian software products do you see in the market. The entrepreneurship skill and courage is usually not encouraged or cultivated in Indian services companies esp at the techonology developer level, and that skill is definitely required to be able to bring a product idea to life. If Indian services cannot come up with commercial products, why should we expect them to come up with open source ones

while these are the core reasons, there will be host of other reasons especially the fact that very minuscule percentage of technology thought leaders in the world today are from India inspite of India being Software development workshop of the world for quite some time now.
