US President Barack Obama's speech on comprehensive immigration reforms at the American University School of International Service has aroused hopes of all the IT companies operating in India.

A Nasscom delegation presided by Som Mittal, and vice-president Ameet Nivsarkar and representatives from some of the biggest names of the tech world such as TCS and Infosys — has decided to participate in the Global Services Summit organised by Coalition of Service Industries’ (CSI). This summit is scheduled to be held in Washington on September 22 with an aim to use the platform to make a fresh arena for keeping the outsourcing engine chugging.

The possible presence of United States Trade Representative, Ron Kirk at the event has made the attendance appear more beneficial to Nasscom. Incidentally, Union commerce and industry minister Anand Sharma, too, is expected to be there at the CSI programme.

As per its website, the CSI “represents the interests of the dynamic American service economy, which employs 80% of the workforce and generates 3/4 of national economic output.” Companies engaged in banking, insurance, telecommunications, IT, express delivery, audio-visual, energy services, and other service industries are members of CSI which together conduct business in 50 US states and in over 100 countries.
