The Internet has changed it all and the most prestigious of the IT and

telecom sector awards–DQ Top 20 awards and V&D 100 awards for the year

2000-01–can now be accessed online. Just a click away, the site

www.dqindia.com/awards transports you into a mouse-controlled world of those who

excelled in the IT and telecom sectors in the last fiscal.

Talking about the new initiative, CMIL managing director and Dataquest

publisher Pradeep Gupta said instead of a grand awards ceremony restricted to a

single physical location, the online initiative is aimed at taking country’s

premium tech awards to the doorstep of global audience. According to him, the

online awards showcase also offers a unique opportunity for employees, clients

and partners to join in an online celebration of success and excellence. ‘‘Sustained

visibility alongside interactive and useful content for technology

professionals, the showcase will connect the leaders of the Indian IT and

telecom sectors to the community of enterprise buyers and the decision—makers,’’

he said. ‘‘This is another first from the Cyber Media stable of events aimed

at garnering global appreciation for the achievements of Indian IT firms using

the online medium,’’ Gupta added.

Inaugurating the online version of the awards, Nasscom President Kiran Karnik

said that, ‘‘The move denotes global appreciation of the efforts of India’s

business houses to promote technology in the Indian subcontinent.’’
