On Nasscom’s response about the new association, Vishnu Dusad said “I've been talking with Som Mittal (Nasscom president) for about six months on this. Nasscom has promised support. We won't be in conflict with anybody."

Off late, smaller companies such as the BPOs have often felt that their issues were not being amply addressed since Nasscom is dominated by IT service companies and other sub –segments.  Now this where iSpirt comes into play, as some of the companies will be members of both Nasscom and iSpirt.

iSpirt's other members include Capillary Technologies, Eka Software, QuickHeal, FusionCharts, OrangeScape, One97, Kayako.com, iCreate, Komli Media, Data Infocom, Srishti Software, Rategain, Drishti Software, CIIE, Greytip, Infrasoft, NewGen, Pramati, Practo, Sapience and IIM Bangalore.

Another interesting fact about the group is that association will not be featuring any of high prolific positions like the president or the chairman. The whole alliance will be under a governing council led by Sharma, Goenka, Tewari and Dusad. "We'll have a flat structure and a volunteer model. We believe that creates higher quality outcomes than one where you have a paid official running the organization," Sharma says.
