I don't see how any organization can ensure a continual job market for any 
profession anywhere. A lot of these jobs are a result of the opening up of 
the Indian economy. So, global changes are bound to affect the Indian IT 
industry. If companies can find good resources at lower costs elsewhere, 
they will set up shops at other destinations.

Re. the earlier discussions on the high growth rates in salaries, one factor 
to consider is the supply-demand gap, which  I believe is significant. There 
is a good demand for skilled professionals, including writers, while the 
availability is limited.
