Nasscom hit by big boys bias charge

Resentment is building up within the $180 billion Indian software industry’s representative body NASSCOM, after last month’s biennial elections to its executive council — the apex decision making body of trade body, saw more than half the industry going unpresented.

Adding credence to the favoritism or bias towards the Big Boys of the trade, 80% of those in the outgoing Coucil were re-elected with a strong representation from MNC biggies leaving products and SMEs out among others.

Nasscom is now learnt to be working to add 7 more EC members, ostensibly to assuage the ruffled feathers.
