Tell the CM that these small IT companies can absorb most of the youth who
are loitering jobless and/or hunting for jobs elsewhere. That these small IT
companies can replace small mines in times to come with the same returns
plus save Goa's environment, forests and wild life in the bargain so that
these wild animals do not have to roam into the villages.
That this is the road map for the future.
But having done that, you expect the right answer, namely " I DON'T KNOW
MUCH ABOUT THESE MATTERS" Then he will put you on to some donkeys in the
labyrinth of the bureaucracy and that will be that. BTW if you are able to
talk percentages with him, then things might be different because Digu-bab
might not want to mess up with percentages but the pie has been divided and
he cannot do anything about it.

PS: This has happened before even with IIT CMs about setting up modern
metallurgical unit or manufacturing engine blocks absorbing Goa's produce of
pig-iron
PPS: Goa's Need of the Hour................What's Zat??? ... IT industries
replacing mines?

Subject: [Goanet] Need feedback --- meeting the CM to ask for concessionsfor
small IT companies
A couple of us --- all IT enterprenuers mostly from Goa ( I am the only one
based in
Bangalore) are planning to meet the Goa CM asking
for tax breaks in Goa for small IT software development companies (less
than Rs. 10 crores annual revenue).
I need feedback from this group as to what people think of this.
I dont want cribs later saying that you are buddy to the CM etc.
The Goan IT entreprenuers feel that they are having a tough time and tax
sops would help
a bit. I think the request is a good endeavour and worth asking for. Some
of the saved
money could be used to create jobs in Goa also.
regards,
Samir
