Chairman's Message

It is GTECH's Silver Anniversary this year, and it is truly a blessing and a privilege to serve as Chairman during this milestone year. Our leadership team comprises a strong 20-member Executive Committee (Execom), representing companies of various sizes from across Kerala. Together with our sub-focus groups, the Execom will drive initiatives across member care, business development, industry-academia collaboration, new technology adoption, and giving back to society.

The IT and ITES industry is navigating one of its most challenging years yet. For over 30-40 years, the IT-services industry has enjoyed steady demand from around the world, weathering disruptions like COVID, floods, and Y2K with only moderate impact. Today, the rise of Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the industry at its core - transforming business analysis and execution, and bringing new challenges around staffing, tool adoption, and pricing. The ITES sector faces even greater disruption, as automation reshapes many of its core tasks. It is GTECH's responsibility to stand by our member companies through this transformative phase.

Every challenge carries opportunity. The very tools, technologies, and infrastructure driving this disruption are also opening new doors for product development. Indian companies, with their deep understanding of business verticals and domains, are exceptionally well positioned to become world-class solution providers. This is where GTECH will focus its efforts - helping member companies seize these opportunities while building an ecosystem that helps Kerala outpace the rest of the country. Our vision is for Kerala to be recognized as the leading IT and ITES solution hub for the world.
