Pune was the talk of the evening,due to a smart move by Pune Based property developers Panchshil Realty who sponsored the networking dinner and got to showcase their premium project, EON FREE ZONE.

EON FREE ZONE is India's first IT & ITES specific SEZ Project located in Kharadi, Pune.

The momentum has picked up much more on Day 2 here at BangaloreIT , just met Mr. M.N.Vidyashankar, IAS, who is Secretary to Govt, Dept. of IT, Govt. of Karnataka. He is pleased with the response and specially proud of the response to the Rural IT quiz in which close to 9,70,000 students of Class 7,8 and 9 participated across Karnataka. That is a phenomenal response compared to last year where only 65,000 students particpated. The quiz was managed by TCS.

I reached Bangalore today in the afternoon, and am glad to be witnessing this large gathering of IT Professionals.

It is a very very large ground here with several exhibition pavilisions like e-nations, IT Parks, e-states, e-infocom, e-software etc..I will be visiting each of those over the course of few days.

Right now I am at the e-infocm pavilion, where several telecom companies are exhibiting like BSNL, Tata-Indicom, Reliance etc.
