Harish Mehta
Software pioneer

Along with Saurabh Srivastava, Prakash Ahuja and Shashi Bhatnagar, he was one of the founder members of Nasscom in 1987.
Even more significantly, he handpicked Dewang Mehta after a chance meeting in the corridors of Delhi's Taj Palace Hotel and placed him at the helm of Nasscom. The rest as they say is a $18 bn history (India's software export figures in 2006).
As one of the early IT entrepreneurs in the country, Mehta headed the JV when Hinditron brought in Digital during the 80s, the first MNC IT firm to arrive in India, post-IBM's exit.
Later, he started Onward Technologies that formed a JV with Novell to market its products in India.
Hence it would not be an exaggeration to claim that Harish Mehta helped shape the destiny of the Indian software industry in more ways than one.
