Govt support must to help IT achieve growth: Infosys

The government's active support is important for the country's IT sector to help achieve the Rs 70,000-crore export figure this fiscal, a top Infosys executive said on Friday.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a function at the Infosys campus, Company Board Member Mohandas Pai said, Bangalore would register a growth of 20 per cent from last year's figure of Rs 58,000 crore.

To a query on states like Kerala and Orissa aggressively marketing their IT hubs, he said, government should come forward and set a target of 1,00,000 crore of software exports for the next two years. Such targets would help instilling some enthusiasm in the industry.
