Dewang Mehta |
| He had a Dream |
 |
"Roti, kapda, makaan aur bandwidth" was Dewang Mehta's war cry in the 90s as a prescription to India becoming an IT superpower.
|
|
Even today, more than five years after his demise , and maybe for posterity, Dewang would remain the face of Nasscom and consequently the Indian software services industry. |
|
When he took over Nasscom's stewardship in 1990 the body had only 72 members, but when he passed away in 2001 it had more than 500 members. |
|
Whatever the Indian software industry has achieved today, by way of a high profile public image globally and various sops from the government, has been due to Dewang's untiring efforts. |
|
In ten years the man had done for the IT industry what lesser mortals might not have achieved in 50 years. |
