Knowledge and Thought leadership is one of the key pillar for Product council this year. We have planned a year-long engagement and our first endeavour has been to map out the synergies between Indian Jugaad and Israel Chutzpah. We are very glad the report was released prior to Narendra Modi’s Isreal visit and the same was well received by both the countries. You can download a copy of the report here - “Collaborative Innovation: The Vehicle Driving Indo-Israel Prosperity”. This has strengthen our resolve to collaborate with Israel and we are also evaluating a possibility of a delegation to DLD Tel Aviv Innovation Festival 2017. In case you have an innovation product that you would like to showcase, please write to us at product@nasscom.in

This is not all! We are planning a report “State of the Union of India Software Ecosystem”. Look forward to a deeper understanding of the Indian Software Product Sector, its opportunities and challenges, best practices to scale and grow and our growth recommendations. More such valuable reports will follow.
