During the first week of September, a Thai delegation of software and IT vendors and experts made a visit to India to gather experience of the new hi-tech tiger and exploring possible business opportunities.

The trip was organised jointly by the Software Industry Promotion Agency (Sipa), a leader in Thailand's software development, and The Nation Group. For many of the 80 plus delegates, the visit to Electronics City in Bangalore and the hi-tech park in neighbouring Chennai were exciting eye-openers. They were both awed and inspired by what they saw. Armies of engineers design and churn out computer chips and software programs for the world's top-brand electronics producers. There is a factory-like atmosphere as Indians work on back-office operations for multinational companies thousands of miles away, or work their computer screens producing animation and virtual effects for Hollywood movie post-production.
