ISODA forms new body

Infotech Software Dealers Association has organized 5^th Annual General Body meeting to form the new committee. Having been a fair association, one of the things that separate ISODA from other associations is the unanimity with which the office bearers have been elected over the past three years since election came into effect. And this time too, the elections were done fairly well and have selected the office bearers.

Nityanand Shetty, Essen Vision, Mumbai was elected as the Chairman followed by Nitin Aggarwal, Trifin Technologies, Delhi as Vice Chairman. Other office bearers who were elected were Devesh Aggarwal, Compusoft, Mumbai, as President, Amarnath Shetty, LDS Infotech Pvt. Ltd, Mumbai as Vice president, Manish Tandon, Questa Software Systems, Mumbai as Secretary General and Manish Sanghrajka, Comprompt Solutions, Mumbai as Treasurer.

Anand, Vinay Bansal, Sudhir Kothari and Jiten Mehta were appointed as the new Regional Secretaries for South, North, East and West respectively.

This is also indicative of the wealth of new talent and people available to lead ISODA over the years. The existing management committee of Biren Shah (Chairman), Vishal Bindra (Vice Chairman), Alok Gupta (President), Sudarsan Ranganathan (Secretary General) and Paresh Shah (Treasurer) received accolades for their service over the past year. The Regional Secretaries Rakesh Chawla (South), Amarnath Shetty (West) and Kavita Singhal (North) were appreciated for their support and exemplary work over the past year.

Defining the vision for the new management team of ISODA, Nityanand Shetty, Chairman, ISODA shares, “In the 4^th year since the incorporation of ISODA, we believe the time has come to take its existence to the next level, to reinvent and reconstruct the ISODA brand value. We would like to revamp our website so that it is a representation of the Bigger Picture we have envisioned.

Stakeholders namely the partners, vendors and distributors look up to ISODA not only as a means of solving the existing tax problems that plague our industry but also as a value proposition for stakeholder collaborations at multiple levels. We wish to emphasize and endorse a National outlook that would cut across states and cities to pool resources to the advantage of the stakeholder. We wish to bring about a change in the perception of ISODA by sharing and putting together of resources such as knowledge, data, technology and services across geographical locations.

We already have a representation base across the length and breadth of India, when stakeholders see the implementation of the above value proposition we are sure to see a multifold increase in density of membership.”
