Kaushal Sinha: Brazil Invests Millions to Kick Start IT Industry

NEW YORK, Sept, 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Information technology (IT) is a field that has grown in leaps and bounds over the last decade. With a large amount of capital behind it, the IT industry has evolved into a premier sector of business, research, and development. Countries around the world have dedicated a great deal of resources to the expansion of IT capacities, and Forbes reports that Brazil is poised to spend R$500 million, or $250 million USD, to support IT endeavors. Kaushal Sinha, an IT professional with nearly two decades of experience, believes this to be a positive move.

The article notes that the funds will be used to support IT projects and startups. The goal of the initiative is to increase the number of "home grown high pay, high value companies in the tech space." The resources will be used to hire mentors, secure funding for individual projects and companies, and create grants for research facilities and incubators. Through this initiative, Brazil can improve employment while enhancing its standing in the global IT environment.

Marco Antonio Raupp, Minister of Science, Technology, and Innovation, believes that Brazil should be a global force in the IT field. According to the article, he reports that the government hopes that software production will "grow at a very high rate in order to attract foreign resources to the country, generate income for businesses and create skilled job positions for Brazilians."

Sinha believes that investing so heavily in IT development will, ultimately, pay off for Brazil. "It is a giant step for Brazil to take in the right direction of IT improvements and job creation," comments Kaushal Sinha. "Although Brazil has gotten a slow start regarding IT projects, my personal opinion is that the country will be a strong contender in the field and will, ultimately, compete with other leading countries in the technology industry. Brazil has a lot of potential and bright citizens who, when given the right opportunities and tools, can excel beyond expectations. The Brazilian government has excellent outlook to train and develop home grown software, increasing revenue and jobs for IT professionals. In today's market, we expect each country to step up and take ownership of home grown technology and products to support its own economy and job creation."

Sinha looks forward to seeing how Brazilian companies grow within the IT field. As each country offers a unique perspective to the IT industry, he is interested to discover how Brazilian companies will approach IT initiatives.
