The 

National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM) is an Indian non-governmental trade


association and advocacy group focused mainly on Information Technology (IT) and Business Process
Outsourcing (BPO) industry.[2] Established in 1988, NASSCOM is a non-profit organisation.[2]
NASSCOM initiated a program called '10,000 Startups' in 2013. The purpose of 10000 Startup is to support and impact
10,000 startups in India by 2023.[3] NASSCOM carries out a number of events annually, targeting startups in the Indian
ecosystem so as to nurture them and help them develop into bigger organisations.[4]

Launched in April 2013, 10,000 Startups is an initiative by NASSCOM to scale up the startup ecosystem in
India. We began our journey with the aim to enable incubation, funding, and support for 10,000 technology
startups in India over the next ten years.

The program’s vision has been to foster entrepreneurship, build entrepreneurial capabilities at scale and
strengthen early stage support for tech startups.

Over 7 years, with over 5800 startups graduating from the initiative, more than 3500 events and programs,
over 500 startup-corporate connects, 400 start-ups in global ecosystems, and over 150 new product concepts,
we have facilitated in making India one of the top 3 startup ecosystems in the world.

NASSCOM, a not-for-profit industry association, is the apex body for the 194 billion dollar IT BPM industry in India, an
industry that had made a phenomenal contribution to India's GDP, exports, employment, infrastructure and global
visibility. In India, this industry provides the highest employment in the private sector.

Established in 1988 and ever since, NASSCOM’s relentless pursuit has been to constantly support the IT BPM industry,
in the latter’s continued journey towards seeking trust and respect from varied stakeholders, even as it reorients itself
time and again to remain innovative,without ever losing its humane and friendly touch.

NASSCOM is focused on building the architecture integral to the development of the IT BPM sector through policy
advocacy, and help in setting up the strategic direction for the sector to unleash its potential and dominate newer
frontiers.

NASSCOM’s members, 3000+, constitute 90% of the industry’s revenue and have enabled the association to spearhead
initiatives at local, national and global levels. In turn, the IT BPM industry has gained recognition as a global
powerhouse.
