NASSCOM
National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM) is an Indian non-governmental trade association and advocacy group that primarily serves the Indian technology industry. Founded in 1988, NASSCOM operates as a nonprofit organization and serves as a key entity within the Indian technology sector.
In 2013, NASSCOM initiated a program to promote 10,000 startups in India by 2023. NASSCOM sponsors events that target startups in India. Events include:
NASSCOM organized the NASSCOM International SME Conclave in January 2019 and the FISITA World Automotive Congress in October 2018.
The Telangana AI Mission (T-AIM) collaborated with NASSCOM to implement the Investor Connect program, benefiting 30 startups in India as part of the Revv Up accelerator program. Additionally, NASSCOM has established multiple partnerships, including one with the Karnataka State Higher Education Council.
NASSCOM's membership includes organizations engaged in software development, software services, and IT-enabled or BPO services. The organization's core focus has been on ensuring high service quality standards and upholding Intellectual Property Rights within the Indian software and BPO industries. As of June 2007, more than 1,100 information technology companies in India were members of NASSCOM, including domestic software and ITES companies, as well as multinationals operating within India.
As a key advocacy body, NASSCOM often comments on complex and contentious issues facing the Indian technology sector, including workforce changes and labor practices.
NASSCOM has publicly addressed the trend of layoffs in the IT sector. In July 2025, the association stated it anticipated further "workforce rationalisation," acknowledging that job roles were evolving due to technological shifts like AI, which required companies to realign their talent.
Earlier, in February 2025, following a controversy over the termination of trainees at Infosys, NASSCOM defended the industry's employment practices. It issued a statement supporting a "performance-driven hiring" culture, asserting that its member companies adhere to local laws.
