Future of IT/ITeS SMEs: What Happens After STPI Benefits End in 2011?

Dear Professionals,

The current benefits of STPi are extended only up to 2011. What do you think will happen after 2011? What will be the future of IT/ITeS SMEs? Please share your views on the impact on SMEs in the present conditions if they choose to move to SEZs. Kindly provide any information you have on this subject.

Thanks,

Hi,

First of all, I appreciate your topic. Thank you for posting. Now, the thing is, if you ask me about STPI vs. SEZs, what I will say is that they are both totally different fields and are important in their individual parts. However, SEZs and STPI cannot be mixed and made into one. SEZs have different functions, and STPI has its own functions. So, what I'll say is that in the future, both will be helpful for India's GDP. They will be great.

But still, different people will have different views, and I respect all other views.

Thank you.
