Not sure why he credits only IBM but several large IT companies including IBM, Microsoft, HP, Dell and many others pressured the Indian government not to launch punitive strikes against Pakistan after the Mumbai attacks.

There was a very big fear that if India and Pakistan will go to war the global IT business would suffer greatly because of just how much of the global IT has been outsourced to India.
