Information Technology, Communication, Globalization, Virtual TeamAbstract [English]
India's Information Technology (IT) industry has become a global leader due to a combination of factors such as skilled labour, advanced technology, and a business-friendly environment. The emergence of virtual teams has significantly changed the paradigm of work dynamics in recent years. The benefits of virtual teams for increasing the productivity, creativity, and competitiveness of India's IT industry are examined in this abstract. The use of communication technologies by geographically separated members to collaborate in virtual teams has become essential to the operations of IT companies in India. Through the use of virtual collaboration platforms and tools, these teams are able to work across geographic boundaries, giving businesses access to a wide range of talent regardless of their actual location. The seamless integration of knowledge from different regions has been made possible by the globalization of talent, which has encouraged innovation and creativity within Indian IT firms.
