NASSCOM Chairman’s Wishlist for the IT Ministry February 13, 2008
Lakshmi Narayanan, Chairman of NASSCOM and A.Raja, Minister for IT and Telecommunications shared the dais at the inaugural session of the Leadership Summit. Lakshmi used the opportunity to request the Government to act on few areas that will be a great boost to the Indian industry.
Lakshmi requested the Government to focus more on e-governance projects. When government invests in more e-gov projects, it will infuse direct revenues into the industry while also greatly increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the process. This will majorly be a boost for small and medium scale enterprises.
Lakshmi requested the Government to continue its on establishing Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in 2 tier and 3 tier cities in India. This will not only encourage bigger companies to reach out to the smaller towns, it will also result in direct employment opportunities for the workforce there.
He also added that the industry has also its share of promises to fulfill. Currently, most of the industry relies on hiring experienced talent and not many take the effort to invest in training. While there are large number of students who graduate every year, they aren’t up-to the mark in terms of employability and talent. It is the industry onus to ensure that this gap is filled and help in creating industry relevant curriculum. In long term, it will greatly benefit the industry, said Lakshmi.
India on track to reach $60 Billion in Software Revenues: Som Mittal, President of NASSCOM February 13, 2008
At the inaugural session of the NASSCOM Leadership Forum, Som Mittal, President of NASSCOM, said the words that must’ve induced a lot of confidence amongst the predominantly high IT audience. He said that India is well on its way to reach the projected target of $60 Billion dollars in revenues by 2010.
He said that that this will happen in spite of the touch challenges that the industry is facing. The weakening of the dollar, rising salaries, poor infrastructure have been posing a challenge and the industry is adapting fast by diversification. Not only are companies diversifying into other services and vertical specializations, they are also diversifying geographically. No longer is the US the dominant revenue source. Europe and Asia is being actively scouted. Companies have also started to realize the potential of the domestic market. This helps the companies cushion from the impact of downturn in the economy.
