CII, keeping the strengths and potential of the Indian IT scenario in view, strive to enhance these aspects so as to transform the Indian IT identity to an iconic status. The path CII had chosen to further this cause is to organize and encourage thought provoking interactions between the producer and the user industry, Government and Academia. Simultaneously, CII provides a convenient platform for the IT Industry to provide mentorship to some of its segments, when required. We publish reports on various relevant and contemporary aspects of the IT industry to encourage informed discussions and emergence of meaningful action plans. We believe that these processes would help turn the goals envisaged by the Industry into realities, and result in directing the world’s focus on India as the hub of IT.

The Partnership Summit 2011 - Theme Paper
The travails of the global economy appear to be still not behind us, despite gradual recovery during 2010 from the worst global economic conditions since World War II. Continued fiscal and debt burdens vitiate the recovery process, imparting a degree of fragility and uncertainty to global economic conditions. The world needs a new source of growth and stability, and India, a rapidly growing economy with strong internal demand, offers a new opportunity. India remained relatively untrammeled by the developments in the Eurozone and reverted to close to 9% GDP growth rates in 2010. Growth was broad-based across all sectors, including agriculture, manufacturing and services. Public commitment to calibrated exit from expansionary fiscal policy and continued corporate and household confidence have helped sustain a virtuous growth cycle. The resurgence of the rural economy and intensified infrastructure mission further strengthened the foundations for medium-term growth propensities.
