"insane amounts of money" is an overkill.
I have worked for a year in IBM. We had a two weeks training course on Lotus Notes, sub-contracted out to a training institute. In a dingy place, in an inner part of the city.
Even in companies like Infosys, most training is done in-house. So we are not talking about insane amounts of money. Additionally, if you need to really spend insane amounts of money to train freshers, then either you are hiring wrong, or you are dumping complex work on them. Either way, it's the problem of the company.
> students who come out of college without exposure to real work.
Of course, students out of college will not have any exposure to real work. There is no real internship system in India.
Also, training fresh students, just out of college is a process followed by literally every company on earth, which is hiring freshers.
> Yeah they pay peanuts and yes you would be just a face in the crowd. But they likely give you the biggest break of your life.
They are able to do this because, there is a huge supply of educated engineers, and an acute shortage of jobs. Companies like Infosys mostly outsource mundane work, to hastily trained engineers (to join Infosys, it doesn't matter what your major is, Electrical, Civil, Mechanical, Aero, anything will do.), essentially using them as mules. Fortunately, unlike the coal workers of previous generations, the domain of work allows for natural skill development. So yes, a break in life, but not the biggest.
> People need to show some gratitude.
They do. There is a lot of gratitude. But also simmering anger at the failure of stalwarts like Infosys for failing to develop business to move up the value chain.
