NASSCOM EMERGEOUT Third edition in Delhi
Up in the cloud towards the middle of the pyramid
The recent NASSCOM EMERGEOUT conclave themed around Cloud Computing was revelatory in several ways. One, it brought to the fore companies from India that were staking their business models around the cloud. Second, it became progressively clear that, for reasons springing from the business context of these companies, the domestic mid-market is now clearly in the spotlight.
Cloud has huge potential in India’s SMBs
INDIA–The country’s small and midsize businesses (SMBs) can benefit from cloud computing, which would also provide computing to the next billion IT users, said delegates at Nasscom’s third EmergeOut Conclave.

The cloud with the SILVER Lining (Valedictory Session)
Dr. Anand Deshpande (MD & CEO, Persistent) started the session by welcoming the audience for the last session. As always, it’s difficult to keep the audience on their seats for the last session. Yet, the hall was jam packed. Without taking any time, Dr Anand handed over to Dr Jai Menon (Directory – Tech & Customer Service, Bharti Airtel and Group CIO, Bharti Enterprises), who otherwise needs no introduction.

Small is BIG: Re-Inventing Business Models which will work for India
