That is such a naive view. IT/outsourcing makes up less than 8% of the GDP. Compared to that, industrial sector make up almost 30% and agriculture 20%. Just because IT services catch the news cycle does not mean that is the only thing India does.

Industry makes up 46% of Saudi Arabian GDP. Such figures can be a misleading way to characterise an economy.
