PCQ Bureau
New Update

The first quarter of the new fiscal not only witnessed the UPA coming back

more strongly for the second successive term but also ignited the expectations

of a buoyant economy of millions of small and mid-size business owners across

India. This was the message coming out strongly from Jaipur, Hyderabad, Kolkata,

Noida and Gurgaon; the latest venues for the SMB Forum juggernaut that keeps

rolling from one FY quarter to the other, thus reaching out to key IT decision

makers across tier-2 & 3 cities across India. Through this chain of events

PCQuest strives to understand the problems faced by local SMBs and bring the

local talent pool together to teach others on how IT can be used to alleviate

those problems. The event typically spans over four hours in the evening and is

organized as an intuitive mix of speaker sessions from PCQuest and its associate

partners, rounded up with an open discussion on the prevailing economic scenario

in the city. The panelists include experts from the local industry and IT

solution providers, who are part of the event. The common paint points that come

across these discussions are that SMB industry, though under severe cost crunch,

looks upto IT to make its processes more efficient.
