Indian Technology Workers Worry About a Job Threat: Technology

Last month, Sudhakar Choudhari took the company bus as usual from his one-bedroom apartment to the suburban offices of Tech Mahindra, a major employer of workers in India that powers the global technology machine behind the scenes. Then a manager took him into a conference room and asked him to resign. "It was a terrible scene for me," said Mr. Choudhari, 41, who had been with the company for 11 years and most recently maintained software for a British client. As the manager spoke, he thought: "I have an 11-year-old child. My wife is not working. How to pay the home loans?"
