In order to make the Indian IT Industry move up the value chain and thereby sustain its growth trajectory, India has to adopt a paradigm shift in it’s strategy for software sector by focusing to create vibrant Indian Software Product Industry, where IT Products also contribute equitably and significantly along with IT Services. Though India is well positioned to further grow in services sector, however for holistic growth, there is a need for a National Policy on Software Products that can synergise the efforts of the Government and Industry to create a robust Software Product Industry, which enables the germinating ground for large number of Software product startups, promotes development of an ecosystem encouraging R&D and innovation, opens up multitude of opportunities of access to capital and helps build and improve the domestic demand. A National Policy on Software Products aligning with other initiatives such as Start-up India, Make in India and Digital India etc. can provide the springboard for India to emerge as a global leader in this important industry.

To drive the rise of India as a Software Product Nation and synergy with the ITeS sector, so as to place India as a leading player as creator, producer and supplier of innovative Software Products globally thereby enabling the IT Industry to sustain growth momentum, a Draft Policy is under consideration by this Ministry.

Ministry seeks suggestions and feedback from the public and other stakeholders on the draft before forming the policy.

The last date for sharing your inputs on the Draft National Policy on Software Products is December 9, 2016.

We all have experience of building home first and then lay roads, pipeline digging etc all in reverse order. I believe this is an opportunity to consider and build infrastructure first (may be a little extra time but would have better yield) and encourage software products on top of the such built (may be organic growth) infrastructure.

1. we should implement a strong anti cyber crime and anti-piracy law first in the country.
2. Tax benefits should be given to software markets and producers.
3. If any import is there to develop software, then relax/rebate on custom duty.
4. If the export of software is there, then income tax should be reduced on the net earning of the company.
5. A software developer should be allowed to get technical consultancy from big insts. like IITs, NITs, IIITMs etc at free/nominal cost.

Sir, I feel that government attention should also be equally given on Policy for Medical Equipment Products. Currently their is no standardization in the field. Buying equipments, buying their specific consummables, and going for maintenance of these equipments is one of the major factor which escalates the cost of critical medical treatment in the country. Along with medicines, this aspect must also be looked into if we want to provide quality and accessible medical care to the people.
