TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS Doing Business in Karnataka A Private Sector Perspective Anant R Koppar, Chairman & CEO A N I N D I A N G L O B A L P R O D U C T S C O M P A N Y
Backdrop of Eleventh 5 Year Plan • “Towards Faster and More Inclusive Growth” • “Converting potential into reality is a formidable task and cannot be achieved if we simply continue on a business as usual basis”
Karnataka Status • Growth environment is reasonably good • Synergistic relationship between government and high growth sectors, though some creative tensions exist • Private sector (and most other) growth is Bangalore centric • Growth is below potential since most other constraints as identified at national level also exist in Karnataka
Key Constraints • Infrastructure - Roads, Water & Power Supply : Quality & Quantity do not match requirements • Human Resource : Quantity is adequate but lack Quality for direct employment • Speed, Proactivity and ease of government clearances and facilitation for new private enterprises can improve • Inclusiveness hampered by metro-centricity of growth and education-finishing system lacunae
Key Constraints • FDI attractiveness is not attractive enough • Metro (Bangalore) centric growth • regional hubs yet to attain critical mass, creating regional growth imbalance • Limited Sources for Angel / Early stage venture capital, especially for non IT sector • Cluster Development strategy needs to be re-booted & implementation needs greater focus and impetus
Strategic Options • Re-evaluation of thrust areas for the state, prioritize industries and allocate proportional resources • Integrated plan for distribution of manufacturing & service industries across the regions • Infrastructure build-up to support the above • Aggressively facilitate Clusters, decongest Bangalore industrially
Strategic Options • Set up Early-stage / Angel Investment funds, include non-IT • Private-Public advisory panel to guide enterprises • Bridge the employability gap and make growth inclusive • Finishing School : Create Standards / Processes • Increase employability of local population • Public-Private partnership • Create Sector agnostic special cell for tracking and competing for FDI
