Pre-Budget Views and Expectations by Mr. Hanuman Tripathi, CEO & MD of Infrasoft Technologies:

 

"In the forthcoming budget, it is unlikely that many changes will come through. Primary reason being, that Parliamentary Elections have concluded in the same year where government must have maximized the sops in the previous budget.

 

I must comment only on Indian IT sector, being a beneficiary and a core worker for decades in this Industry.

 

No matter how much breast beating other industries or larger IT companies do about the sops the IT industry has received in terms of tax exemptions over last 10 years, it cannot be denied that the IT industry has returned several times bigger economic benefit to the country in the same period.

 

The IT industry has built international class infrastructure in the country, has ensured mass scale employment and has generated large scale foreign exchange reserves for India and moreover created strong Indian Services brand in the overseas market globally.

 

In the present weak sentiments of global outsourcing business, Indian IT & ITeS companies are facing massive risk of business loss, employment loss and erosion of share holder's worth and thus the loss of GDP for the country. IT industry, the most critical industry after agriculture in India, is facing problems and the least the government can do is to simply extend the tax benefits to the IT & ITeS exporters for next 10 years.

 

From the infrastructure point of view, mid-sized companies are not self sufficient and require to live in an established community of a city closer to their employees, customers, suppliers, etc. It is not feasible for small companies to leave everything and settle down in distant SEZs. It is expected that the government will be conducive towards promoting smaller SEZs within city limits that offers smaller spaces and are reserved for smaller companies. It will be another dawn of accelerated growth when all the metros and sub-metros of the country will have multiple 10 – 15 lakh sqft SEZ places closer to the airports or the city centers.

 

If India wishes to promote next generation Billion $ companies and work towards staying a global leader in IT services, it has to support the mid-sized companies of today."
