Not entirely right. Before the software industry's success in India, most engineers would either aim for ISRO/DRDO or other niche government organizations.

The software industry simply offers better prospects - better pay and faster career growth.

Partially true; because even before the software boom, most techies aimed at working in a foreign country (like the US) where they would be much more well-payed.
