"Around one-half of the world’s 11 million professional developers probably work at one of these consulting firms."

That doesn't sound very likely to me. I personally have known one person who used to work at Google and one who worked a Wipro in 12 years. Plus the numbers they have shown add up to less than a million.

There are actually over 10K firms in India (and Pak, E. Europe etc) that employ hundreds if not thousands of developers. THe numbers shown in the article are only for a small selection of major companies.
