Having managed or been client of Tata and Infosys teams, I can relate to working with teams which are good order takers and will go do what you specifically ask, but one roadblock or one decision and they are paralyzed, the communication skills are simply not there, and the work approach in terms of being proactive or being innovative or to own their work is not there. As long as people understand the limitations and capabilities of anyone you will know how to work best with them. I suppose if the call centers or I/T outsourcing firms were hiring all IIT level ppl, they would run into supply issues as well as being price competitive in general.

Part of the reason for that is that TCS & Infosys cannot afford to hire grads of top schools for their average consultant positions. If they do that they will not be able to be the low cost service providers that they currently are. Its a catch 22 situation - you get what you pay for.
