PONDICHERRY: Pondicherry IT Traders Association (ITTA) has elected its office bearers for the year 2008-09.

Rajesh Jain, CEO, Indica Computers, has been appointed as the new president. T Sivakumar, CEO, Siara Systems, retained his position as VP for the second time.

It may be noted that ITTA elects its presidents on a rollover basis, ie the VP becomes president the following year.

Likewise, members holding other positions also move to their immediate superior designations every election.

"Due to personal reasons Sivakumar was not able to take over as President. However, respecting his stint in the industry and capability, we asked him to continue as VP for the second time. Next year we hope he will take over as president of ITTA," informed PN Prasad, former president, ITTA.

Since its inception in 2003 ITTA has been conducting elections every year.

The association has regularly been conducting meetings and is one of the most active associations in South India.

Besides conducting regular association meetings, ITTA arranges outdoor events and family trips regularly to inculcate the thought of intimacy and unity among dealers in the region.
