The passing away of Mr. Dewang Mehta is an irreparable loss for the software industry of India.
We feel this loss is not just India’s alone but that of the entire IT sector in the Asia-Pacific
region. On behalf of CAN (Computer Association of Nepal), I would like to express our deep
condolences for this sad event.”

“
I am sorry to hear about the untimely death of Dewang who was a personal friend and
known to the India Business Council (IBC), Dubai. The Indian IT industry has lost a
“
true champion” and an outstanding Indian, who we were all very proud of. Dewang will
always be remembered and his is an irreparable loss for the entire nation.”

“
Since we greatly admired Mr. Mehta as the supreme spokesman of the Indian IT industry,
we invited him to the JBIC ( Japan Bank for International Cooperation) Symposium that I
coordinated last November. Mr. Mehta willingly accepted our invitation, but unfortunately
sudden illness prevented him from visiting Japan at that time.We had been looking forward
to meeting up with him and are saddened that our desire will never be gratified.”
YOSHIHIKO MORITA
Senior Executive Director
Japan Bank for International Cooperation
“
Dewang ably represented India’s fast growing
IT industry and dedicated his life to taking it
to greater heights. He was indeed a pillar of
the Indian software sector.
Dewang’s earlier visit to Israel and the signing
of the MoU with the Israel Association of
Software Houses left a very good impression
of his capabilities and devotion to the software
industry.”

“
In Dewang Mehta, the country has
lost a dynamic and young visionary
in the field of software. He was
undoubtedly instrumental in building
India’s reputation as a software giant.”
MANOHAR JOSHI
Minister of Industry
Government of India
“
We have been following the excellent work that Mr. Dewang Mehta
was carrying out in the field of Information Technology and realize
that it is not just Nasscom, but India that has lost an ambassador
par excellence.
We hope Nasscom will carry on the great groundwork that has
been laid down by Mr. Mehta. We, the Fraunhofer ISST and its
private arm INNOVA GmbH will continue to support NASSCOM
in its European endeavors.”
