@Krish: Despite its so called “diminishing” clout, its clearly the most influential trade body in the country. I would say that its good to see NASSCOM engaging with startup product companies.
BTW, Naeem Zafar is really good. I attended his session at the May SV TiECon and it was probably the best of the conference.
“*Killer* Workshops designed for(?) Indian startups at Nasscom” –
Going by Nasscom’s diminishing clout, hope it doesn’t end up exactly acting it out (killing the startups, that is 🙂
Peter Yorke “built” the “iflex brand”?? Thats news to me!
That brand is around since mid-90s when the erstwhile CITIL was renamed as iflex, and the product is older still.
