Interactive Session with Mr Som Mittal
A networking opportunity exclusively for IITK students, organised by SBERTC and E-Cell of IIT Kanpur on 8th October 2014, was indeed a lovely experience for all the creative minds at IITK. We had the pleasure of hearing Mr Som Mittal, former president of NASSCOM. He has also been a member of Indian PM’s Committee on E-governance. He has served in Hewlett Packard (Asia Pacific and Japan) and has founded the Data Security Council. He graduated from Metallurgical Engineering, IIT Kanpur in 1973 and has been the recipient of the Distinguished Alumnus Award.
He inspired the students by sharing his success story, how important and how widespread internet has become in daily life as well as all businesses. He also talked about the several start-ups under NASSCOM and much more.
