 Hindu Business Line 

“The logistics sector lacks an effective policy framework for IT adoption. A huge financial burden on the logistics industry (which is close to 13 per cent of GDP) can be reduced by framing policies that promote IT automation to increase process efficiencies. Necessary incentives will give traction to the industry’s growth helping them to match international standards and improve profitability”.
- Amit Maheshwari, Founder & CEO, Softlink

The Government should support domestic software product companies in the same manner that it empowered their IT services counterparts. The Government should provide certain tax incentives to domestic software product companies for making them more competitive globally.

The direct and indirect tax benefits provided to software service companies should also be extended to product firms.

Indian software product companies cater largely to the domestic market and are also drivers of IP creation in the country; there needs to be some incentive for creating intellectual property.
