Nasscom aims on IT start-ups
NASSCOM has decided to focus on start-ups and small IT companies during the year. According to market report, NASSCOM praised West Bengal government's cluster approach to promote start-ups and small companies in the IT sector.
R S Pawar, Chairman, NASSCOM said, 'If this approach can work in manufacturing sector, why not IT? We will analyse the architecture on how companies can work together for larger projects. Small IT companies will have great opportunities after the Unique Identification Number project is launched. The infrastructure is being rolled out. Soon the small players in the IT sector can develop utility applications to play around this infrastructure."
Interacting with NASSCOM members, West Bengal industry minister Partha Chatterjee said, "The government was thinking of steps to boost the small IT companies by a similar cluster in the sector. The state has plans to create IT hubs in every district to help create more jobs. The government is looking to increase the corpus of the venture capital fund and offer it public utility status."
Tier II towns of Durgapur, Asansol, Siliguri, Bankura, Barjora, Kalyani and North and South 24 Parganas will be the main focus for creating these IT hubs. Common facilities would be created for the start-ups.
