The premier Special Interest Group of the IT-BPO companies in Belgaum,ITBelgaum’s initiative of doing technical seminar and workshops was exceedingly appreciated by the students and the faculty as well.

A formal inauguration was done at the hands of Principal M D Kulkarni, IS HOD Vidya Kulkarni, and ISEC – SS Rodd & Hanji.

R K Patil of Vayavya Labs Pvt. Ltd. gave an introduction which enthralled the audience all time. His presentation was an eye opener to a many in the audience when they came to the existence of so many IT companies in Belgaum. IT Belgaum concept was well received by all and the idea of ITBelgaum were appreciated.

The students got their queries answered from the people in the industry and that made many understand what they need to learn. Most of the queries came in after the event in a one to one interaction with the presenters who tried to clarify to their best.

The staff of GIT also liked the idea of ITBelgaum and assured their full co operation for more such workshops to be held. The faculty was pleased that people in the industry came to share their experiences with the students and gave practical sessions other than just theoretical.

Collective effort to develop IT & ITeS in Belgaum

A thought came to my mind vis-à-vis the IT sector in Belgaum. Something collectively should be and can be done by all the IT companies located in Belgaum when they collaborate on a single platform. I don’t know how many IT or BPO or ITeS companies exist in Belgaum but we could attempt to get all these on a single platform which would contain data of all the companies, job vaccines etc and it would benefit the IT companies as well as people seeking jobs and who want to get more info on starting up IT companies in Belgaum.

There are web designers and other small startups working from a home office setup which might be included in this by which they could get exposure. Even today many people go to Bangalore or Pune to get a website designed for a company located in Belgaum, a simple thing but people aren’t aware of it in town.

AAB [http://allaboutbelgaum.com] would be devoted to share information on this.

The same is the case with the IT start ups like vayavyalabs.com, Spundhan, eth1 network solutions, 

leading minds to name a few I know of. BPOs like BTPi info, Gurukul scribe and Katwa infotech and

 others may perhaps come together and spread awareness about the presence of IT and ITeS  companies in Belgaum.

This is just a thought and I have nothing concrete in my mind. People in this field could throw additional light on this.

All the IT & ITeS companies located in Belgaum or companies interested in setting up shop here please post a comment as to what do you think about this.

Let me know your thoughts on this.
