In Germany's booming computer and telecommunications industry there is a considerable lack of qualified IT specialists.
Software development is an outstanding growth market in India.
Thus, it seems reasonable to consider India as a strong partner for Germany in the IT sector. The aim of this strategic partnership is to support German and Indian companies in successfully taking advantage of the chances of cooperation in the IT sector. With jointly organized management seminars, public events as well as further consultative services, practical support is to be offered. Mr. Chandrashekar V. Badami, Business Development Manager of Wipro Technologies, India's largest IT company, spoke for the Indian software industry, and Mr. Srinivas Reddy of SAP Laps India appeared on behalf of the Green Card holders. The discussion was led by Mr. Mike Enskat, CLF member and political scientist at Heidelberg University's South Asia Institute.
