t would be wrong to say that Dewang Mehta was
a man of few words. In fact words meant a lot to
him, he reveled in them and believed he could
use then effectively in his tireless crusade for the Indian
software industry.
CollectedThoughts
is an attempt to capture some of Dewang
Mehta’s words and the revolutionary thoughts he conveyed
through them. His prolific oupourings on paper, hosted by
some of the most prestigious newspapers, magazines and
journals worldwide have been reproduced in this book for
the benefit of not only his admirers, but all those interested
in the IT sector.
We have also attempted to compile some of the touching
tributes to Dewang following his shocking and untimely
demise. Words of praise from contemporaries, collegues
academics and friends from across the globe provide an
idea about the status he had achieved not only as an indian
promoting the software sector, but as a global citizen, an IT
guru among peers.
