PCQuest SMB From 2009
Saturday, July 04, 2009
The first quarter of the new fiscal not only witnessed the UPA coming back
more strongly for the second successive term but also ignited the expectations
of a buoyant economy of millions of small and mid-size business owners across
India. This was the message coming out strongly from Jaipur, Hyderabad, Kolkata,
Noida and Gurgaon; the latest venues for the SMB Forum juggernaut that keeps
rolling from one FY quarter to the other, thus reaching out to key IT decision
makers across tier-2 & 3 cities across India. Through this chain of events
PCQuest strives to understand the problems faced by local SMBs and bring the
local talent pool together to teach others on how IT can be used to alleviate
those problems. The event typically spans over four hours in the evening and is
organized as an intuitive mix of speaker sessions from PCQuest and its associate
partners, rounded up with an open discussion on the prevailing economic scenario
in the city. The panelists include experts from the local industry and IT
solution providers, who are part of the event. The common paint points that come
across these discussions are that SMB industry, though under severe cost crunch,
looks upto IT to make its processes more efficient.
