NASSCOM my current employer, has been instrumental in creating a path which has helped me pursue these interests. It all started with designing engagement initiatives for our members, especially those in the SMB segment. This is what gave birth to EMERGE Forum - a platform synonymous with celebrating the spirit of entrepreneurship by promoting start-ups as well as supporting emerging businesses focused in the IT-BPO segment. The Forum has evolved over time, to be an innovative eco-system conduit for participating companies.
Additionally, I have played a significant role in providing value to NASSCOM members, by launching activities which showcases their prowess at a global level, thereby establishing their credibility and standing. With the vision of creating value and making it accessible to a wide segment of the society, the platform has enabled members to connect and network with established peers through the NASSCOM EMERGE Community. A vibrant group of individuals which boasts of a membership of anything upwards of 4000+ members. The discussion threads provide some indicators on the high value of discussion topics and vibrancy. The initiative extends to the NASSCOM EMERGE Blog which has some of India’s top IT thought leaders authoring and sharing key insights with the community.
