Over the years, there has been some change in how the street looks at IT stocks, but somehow, still there is a perception that large cap companies like TCS, Infy and Wipro, are the ones which give all the indication of what is happening in the IT space. The fact is that over the last decade so many segments and sub segments have emerged and along with the numbers of mid and small size companies have emerged in the IT space that deciding on IT space based on what is happening with TCS and infosys or wipro or any mega cap companies would be an incorrect thing to do.
