IT exports from north up 30%, Infy top exporter


Despite the recessionary phase hitting the bottom-line of the country's IT sector, the northern
region appeared to have remained insulated as total IT exports from this region grew by a
whopping 30 per cent, with Infosys becoming the top exporter.
Performing against all odds, export of software and IT enabled services from Mohali, Chandigarh
and Panchkula have jumped to Rs 1,051.23 crore in 2008-09 against Rs 806.01 crore in 2007-08,
as per data provided by Software Technology Parks of India (STPI).
"With the global slowdown casting its shadow on majority of industrial sectors including IT, we
were unsure of even touching Rs 1,000-crore mark from this region under current
circumstances...but the industry has managed to clock handsome growth in spite of meltdown
impact," STPI Joint Director Ajay Shrivastava said in Chandigarh
