A new mandate

This is a time of reckoning for India - will the newly elected Government with one of the strongest mandatres in recent history deliver on its promises or will this prove to be one more opportunity for good governance and economic progress get sacrificed at the altar of political compromises and expediency ?

India has done well in the last five years, bringing tens of millions of our countrymen up from the poverty line. Industries like IT and Telecom have brought a ray of hope for aspiring youth to hold their heads high in the world. But if we have to truly fulfil our destiny to be a knowledge superpower and meet the promises laid out in the recent NASSCOM-McKinsey report of achieving a 200 B USD plus revenue in IT and business services by 2020, a lot has to be done - by Government and Industry together.

The top three expectations that we have as an industry are…

1. Continuation of the STPI scheme to provide a level playing field for young Indian entrepreneurs to compete and succeed against the bigger players and also against their counterparts in other countries

2. Liberalisation of the Education sector by encourage private sector to participate and set up profit making ventures in higher education. This is the only way quality with scale can be achieved in the country.

3. Transformation of physical, digital and social infrastructure in at least fifty new locations around the country to ensure that the benefits of IT and BPO are widespread.

Beyond our industry, we all need to work together and support the Government in building a truly inclusive India - where every citizen can expect to get basic education, healthcare and financial support to realise their aspirations for future generations.

Let us work at making this happen !
