Economies of scale and insatiable demand from both consumers and enterprises characterize this rapidly growing sector, whether its hardware or software, became an integral part of nearly every major global industry.
Apart from the Govt. efforts, IT Association of Odisha (ITAO), a consortium of over 400 members of IT Industry from across the state is also committed for the sectoral growth. It constitutes more than 75% market share of Odisha’s IT business by uniting IT related people of the state, covering both professionals and business sector.
