IT Sector In Kashmir To Get A Boost, Generate More Jobs

Launched in 2010, the Srinagar center of Aegis has about 70 employees, which was about to shut due to the absence of clients. The district administration has told the BPO to retain all its employees and also offered itself as a client against the commitment of raising the facility of 2,000 jobs in the next 18 months.
Shahid Iqbal Choudhary, Deputy Commissioner of Srinagar who visited the facility said, “We are working to boost this (IT) sector in the state. It will take some time. We have visited Aegis and we have asked them for a roadmap to increase their strength from 70 employees to up to 2,000 employees. The financial backup will be given by the government.”
