All 15 Executive Council members were
elected unopposed in the third edition of
elections held on
March 31. The EC then got together and unanimously elected RK
Malhotra of Velocis Systems as the president for the third
consecutive time. Ranjan Chopra of Team Computers was again elected
as the VP; Saket Kapur of Greeen Vision and Surjeet Narula of
Associated Business Computers will be General Secretary and Joint
Secretary respectively. PK Sharma of Comnet Vision succeeds outgoing
treasurer
Madhav of Vidur&Co. The elections have manged to
bring three new faces to the executive council body-Vinay K Bansal,
Madhur Madhav and PK Sharma.
PCAIT currently has 89 numbers. Now
that the elections are over the management is hoping to increase its
member size by adding eight more members by the EC meeting scheduled
for April 23. Sharing the association's agenda for the upcoming year,
with The DQ Week, Saket Kapur said, “We want to make Nehru
Place a world class IT hub and we will be working sincerely towards
making that happen. Secondly, we need to form an apex body, which
will control all associations existing in the area.”.
PCAIT, in their first meeting after the
elections, has formed two committees, which will address issues
affecting channel partners and vendors. The first committee called
'Vendor Relationship' will be spearheaded by Asim Raina of Cybermedia
with the help of Alok Gupta of Unistal Systems and Kapil Wadhwa of
Champion Computers. “A lot of miscommunication often takes place
between vendors and channel partners. This committee will ensure a
smooth relationship between the two,” added Kapur. The Legal and
Ethical committee, which includes Alok Gupta of Softmart Solutions,
Alok Gupta of Cache Technologies and Vinay Bansal of Synapse, will
promote ethical trade practices amongst members of the association
and dealers in Nehru Place. This move was necessitated because of the
increased instances of counterfeited products sold in the market.
This time, during the elections, voting
was not required because there were 15 positions and the same number
filed nomination. Clarifying on the same, Kapur said, “It is even
better that the voting did not take place. Voting sometimes gives
scope for manipulations and twisting the results. All members were
elected unanimously.”
According to the Executive Secretary of
PCAIT, V Krishnan, majority of the team remained the same because a
lot of the work is pending. “It might have taken a new team more
time to understand the whole process and make things happen. A lot of
work is incomplete and everyone wanted the same team to carry on,”
said Krishnan.
