Bangalore: NASSCOM's Annual Product Conclave, the two day event, will kick off in Bangalore on November 10-11. The panel of speakers includes many prominent names in the industry including Carol Bartz, CEO of Yahoo!. The theme for this year's conclave is Taking Leadership in the Cloud. The event is being co-chaired by two eminent people from Silicon Valley - Sandhill Partners' MR Rangaswami and entrepreneur and strategy consultant Sramana Mitra. The event will focus on ways of managing and scaling a product company in an extremely complex environment. Opportunities in cloud computing and lean startup models will be the center topic in this year's event. Some of the key speakers at the Product Conclave will be Amitabh Srivastava (Microsoft), M.R Rangaswami (Sand Hill Group LLC), Polly Sumner (salesforce.com), Naeem Zafar (Concordia Ventures), Vivek Wadhwa, Bharat Goenka (Tally Solutions), Subash Menon (Subex Ltd) and Sridhar Vembu (Zoho Corp). Prior to the conclave, NASSCOM will conduct a workshop called Product Launchpad which will showcase 10 Product Companies for an exclusive interactive session with the media/blogger community. By this, the IT industry's apex body provides an opportunity for start-ups and emerging companies to display their new product. The eligibility pattern was that it should be an Indian software company that is launching a new product or is launching a new version of a product. The product can be targeted at the Indian market or international market. This session is being held at 11:30 am on November 9, 2010 at the Hotel Lalit Ashok in Bangalore. This half-day workshop will be led by well-known thought leaders like Vivek Wadhwa, Pinkesh Shah and Sramana Mitra. Out of the 50+ entries, 10 companies are identified and will be invited to the dais to showcase their products; however, all companies submitted valid entries will be profiled in a special booklet to be launched on the occasion. NASSCOM will publish a booklet containing information about your company and product which will be circulated to the media. This will also be available online on the NASSCOM Product Conclave website.
