We expected more proactive measures on ease of business in Budget 2017: Rahul Agarwal, Lenovo India

“The Tech-India agenda in the budget is a great highlight for the IT companies. We are pleased that the budget addresses the last mile connectivity issue, which was a missing link in the earlier plans. Digi Gaon and Bharat Net are positive steps and will inevitably boost IT penetration. Focus on Digital Literacy will act as an enabler for job creation and skill development.

Thrust on such initiatives provide an impetus for companies like Lenovo. However, we would expect more proactive measures from the government on ease of doing business as the cost of compliance in India is higher as compared to other countries, because of which large scale manufacturing is not yet shifting to India.”
