Chinese province to host Indian IT firms soon

Even as border skirmishes are taking a toll on bilateral relations, the bilateral business and technology partnership between India and China is growing as Guizhou province in China is gearing up to welcome Indian IT companies by the end of August.

Earlier, in May 2017, Nasscom took a delegation of Indian SME companies to Guizhou to promote partnership between India and Chinese companies on the Big Data theme. The Guizhou International Investment Corporation (GIIC) and Guizhou provincial government played host to this delegation.

According to GIIC officials, these companies are a mix of startups, mid-size and large companies. “We have startups like CriedWatch and OneGlobe and IT major HCL also in the group who will revisit Guizhou to start their exploration journey in August,” said an official.

Officials from Guizhou, a province specialising on big data technology development, visited Bengaluru last month and held meetings with Nasscom for deeper relation in big data R&D and investment initiatives.
