Unveiling of draft IT Investment policy and IT Investors meet at GOA

Hello Goenkars who are much interested in knowing what is happening in the IT field and IT prospects of Goa. Just read a news on the local daily The Navhind Times about a big function which is going to happen at Hotel Marriot - Panjim on Saturday 23rd May 2015. The hon. cheif minister of Goa Shree Parsekar along with Hon. minister for Railways - Govt. of India, Shree Suresh Prabhu is going to unveil the draft IT Investment policy at the IT investors meet in GOA. They say about more than 100 companies in the IT industry would be a part of this meet tomorrow. Company names spoken about are IBM, Oracle, HCL, Infosys, Wipro, etc...

I believe there is going to be an open discussion what is actually required from the Government of Goa in terms of infrastructure provision and other legal formalities which one is asked to complete in order to set up an operating unit from any state. 

The Goan small entrepreneurs like us GoITWay (www.goitway.com) would be  definitely interested in knowing what is going to come in the IT policy and will there be any scope of improving business with the small little set up they might be already having in different parts of Goa.

Big players of IT industry coming to Goa may not directly help the small business setups in Goa but definitely will there be a scope for the outsourcing projects or Business process outsourcing (BPO). Today we see in Goa the small scale business players are basically into website development project in Goa, custom software application development may it be web application or standalone desktop application for small business organizations in Goa. Very few are in to mobile application development from Goa. They are today happy with small little business they are getting from the Goan local industry mainly associated with hospitality services connected to Goa tourism sector. Given the mining industry is at the zero level the only business coming from hotel industry and the little bit from the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry may ask for services such as say hotel website development, e-commerce website designing, domain registration, web hosting, Inventory management software, CRM, ERP packages development etc. So I am sure people of Goa will be looking for positive IT policy for GOA which will think about Goa youths who are ready to serve the Bit IT giants and also about the small Goa entrepreneurs like us who will be able to become the part of success story of Goa's IT industry.
