India has lost its most reputed IT evangelist. It is difficult to put Mr. Mehta’s achievements in a few lines. He led Nasscom very effectively and brought the concerns of the industry before the regulators, policy makers and Governments. He also projected the Indian image very effectively at the international level.
We would also like to gratefully acknowledge Mr. Mehta’s contribution to Karnataka. He was associated with the Bangalore IT.com event last year as well as this year. He was on the governing body of the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore. Karnataka was the only partner state along with Nasscom that represented India at CeBit 2001 held at Hannover, Germany in March this year.
