Background:
 
The dour Global economic landscape is threatening to pull the reins of a galloping Indian IT/ITeS and Technology sector. However, the slowdown has failed to turn investors away. With several new emerging areas such as, Cloud Computing, Virtualization, MVAS, Wimax, IP Software Products, SaaS and new KPO models, the domestic IT/ITeS sectors are unearthing fresh layers of wealth creating opportunities waiting to be explored by investors and investees alike.

Pursuant to IVCJ's highly successful version of the same event in 2008, Dickenson presents a repeat stellar event for 2009 on Private Equity and the Indian IT/ITeS and Technology, making sure that it continues to emerge as a relevant, insightful and meaningful in today's environment.

As IT/ITeS and Technology giants and startups stand firmly amidst unfavorable global economic winds, it is fresh innovation and new vision that will decide many players' fortune at this critical inflection point. How are players within the IT/ITeS sector coping with the current status quo? How equipped are VC/PE players to revive their portfolio companies that could potentially fall prey to the downturn? As investors get increasingly selective, what are the strategies entrepreneurs can use to win them over as valued partners? IVCJ attempts to answer these and many more pertinent questions at this “must-attend” conference, now in its 2nd edition.
 
 
Some of the Key Questions that the Conference will aim to address:
 
  1. How are players within the IT/ITeS sector coping with the current economic turmoil and protectionism?
  2. What new hidden opportunities are lurking within the IT/ITES space that can create wealth tomorrow?
  3. As investors get increasingly selective, what are the strategies entrepreneurs can use to win them over as valued partners?
  4. What's the latest perspective of PE and VC players in this space, and where are they looking to put their money?
  5. How equipped are VC/PE players to revive their portfolio companies that could potentially fall prey to the downturn?
 
 
"Getting all the Stakeholders together."
