Overview:

Information Technology and IT enabled Services have been the biggest growth drivers for the Indian economy in the past few years. Dynamic technology, global competition and changing markets have led to rapid transformation taking place in the global Outsourcing market with the emergence of a number of global giants and new entrants. This conference attempts to examine the opportunities and challenges embedded within this space, covering areas such as Outsourcing, SME Technology, Mobile Value Added Services, Consumer Services, Infrastructure and Early Stage Financing. With the focus of this industry now shifting to tier II and tier III cities, this sector is geared up for an enormous growth. IT and ITeS have and will continue to remain the favourite sector for investors, a majority of them being PE players. Many IT and ITeS companies are going global because of liberal policies adopted by the government, a major chunk being SME Technology companies. Given this scenario, what are the opportunities and challenges faced by this sector?

This conference aims to bring all relevant stakeholders, including specialists from the fields of legal, regulatory, development, advisory and fund management, under one roof. In addition to this, it aims at promoting networking for facilitating deals between fund managers and industry players.

THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THIS CONFERENCE IS TO:

Overview and outlook of the India IT/ITeS and Technology Sector.
Analyze the areas in which India still has a competitive advantage over other
countries as an outsourcing destination.
Which are the emerging IT enabled Services and how do VC/PE's view this?
What are the areas VC/PE's look for when investing into a startup venture?
What are the preferred strategies of venture capitalists to exit early stage
companies?
Global opportunities for SME Technology companies and how a PE can
contribute to the development?
Opportunities in creating basic infrastructure in Tier II and Tier III cities to
promote IT/ITeS and Technology services.
