Nilesh Maheshwari--the founder of MobileMonday (MoMo) -- open community platform of mobile industry visionaries and developers said that till the year 2006-07, the IT sector was not in existence in Indore. Around this time the foundation for Impetus was laid and soon others like Astute, Suvi and Web Dunia came to existence.
Maheshwari who is also the CEO of IT company eMorphis, said that first kind of developers are consumer centric who develop mobile games for individuals while the second type of companies develop customised softwares for corporate clients. eMorphis which falls in the second category, is offering services to around a dozen companies in US including the ones engaged in sectors such as insurance, furniture and healthcare.
Experts from the sector also claim that burgeoning infrastructure cost being major constraints for small scale IT firms in IT hubs like Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad etc, the smaller players are turning towards tier II and III cities like Indore for establishing ventures.
