    The National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM) today announced
that it will be conducting the two-day Product Conclave on November 7-8 at Taj Vivanta,
Yeshwantpur, Bangalore. The theme of the conclave will be 'Faster, Stronger and Higher'
and will delve on the latest trends and developments in Cloud, Big Data and Mobile and how
software product companies can capitalize on them to develop products which bring value to
customers.

    The Conclave will witness participation from some of the leading global practitioners
in the field of development. These stalwarts will address the challenges faced by
entrepreneurs, provide insights into the operations and mechanics of the product business
and explore opportunities that will help them expand market reach and build successful
businesses.

    With a 789% increase in product start-ups and a 2173% (source: Zinnov) increase in
funded product ventures in the last 3 years, the Indian technology product economy is on
an unprecedented growth trajectory. Indian-made software products are delighting customers
with their ease of use, engaging users with their intuitive experiences and scaling their
technology for massive growth.

    What is unique about this year's Product Conclave is that it is driven by highly
experienced and motivated volunteers who come with experience and knowledge in the product
development field. This enables them to choose the speakers carefully depending on their
areas of expertise and provide curated content to deliver value to the audience.

    Speaking about the conclave, Mr. Sharad Sharma, Chairman of the NASSCOM Product
Conclave Forum says, "The product landscape has considerably improved in India over the
years. NASSCOM's vision for the Product Conclave is to help make India the hub of the
world's most successful software products through formal and informal interactions amongst
leading industry stalwarts and budding entrepreneurs. Now in its 9th edition, the conclave
