R CHANDRASHEKHAR
FORMER PRESIDENT, NASSCOM | IAS
Who am I
As former Secretary to the Government of India for
Electronics and IT, Chairman of the Telecom Commission of India and Secretary
Telecom and currently as President, NASSCOM, R Chandrashekhar possesses a
unique breadth of expertise and experience, both in the government and private
sector, that cover the entire gamut of the IT and telecom sectors. He is a
strong advocate of forward-looking policies that power the country’s transition
to a digital economy and a global IT powerhouse.
As President of NASSCOM, he was the widely recognised face
of the IT-BPM industry globally. He has taken head on the challenge of global
market development for the industry while advocating forward-looking and fair
policies in other countries in the face of a wave of anti-globalisation and
protectionism sweeping the world.
At home, he has been a respected advocate of progressive and
open policies that are good for the industry and the country and enable faster
adoption of technology, development of the domestic market and acceleration of
innovation. Specific industry initiatives for driving the growth of the
start-up eco-system in the country and building agile, scalable skilling
programs for New Age skills bear special mention in this context.
He was in the Indian Administrative Service till 2013 and
played a pivotal role in many momentous and path-breaking IT and telecom
related initiatives at the national and state level. As Chairman of the Telecom
Commission and Secretary DOT, he was responsible for driving several key
policies and strategies covering licensing, spectrum management, National
Broadband Plan, Convergence, Manufacturing, Investment, security, and R&D.
He was the principal architect behind the National Telecom Policy 2012. He was
also principally responsible for developing the National ID project (now called
Aadhaar).
R Chandrashekhar has a deep understanding for cultural
diversity and management issues in a multi-cultural and international milieu.
USA, UK, EU, Japan, China, Australia, Malaysia and Singapore are some of the
countries which he has extensively engaged with, both at Government and
industry levels. He has been a member/ leader of innumerable delegations to
other countries and has wide experience in bilateral and multi-lateral
negotiations, business negotiations as well as industry - government dialogue
and policy advocacy across multiple geographies.
