Trichy Associaton seeks inclusion in Confed

Trichy Information Technology Association (TITA), an offshoot association of

Association for Computer Traders, Trichy (ACTT) is waiting for Confed-ITA's call

to become a part of the association's state body. Recently, the association got

itself registered formally, which is mandatory for any regional association to

be a part of Confed-ITA.

Informing that the association has been requesting Confed to include it

within the state body, Theerthanathan, President, TITA said that members had

taken all the steps required to become a part of Confed. “We had appealed to

Confed long time ago, after forming a new association. However, they asked us to

resolve our differences with ACTT and dissolve our own association, which we

could not do. Later, we were asked to register our association and seek an entry

into Confed, and we have done that recently,” Theerthanathan said.

He also said that the formation of the new association a couple of years back

was due to difference of opinion among the members, which were irreconcilable.

“We have nearly 20 members in our association and are helping them in whatever

ways we can to support their business. Our association only accepts those

members, who trade with registered TIN numbers,” Theerthanathan added.

Confed-ITA claimedthat each region can have only one association, which can

be a part of its state body. “I have received a request from the TITA and have

passed it on to the executive committee of Confed for approval,” informed PN

Prasad, President, Confed-ITA.
