President’s Message
With the strong vision and hard work of founding members and the past team, the Calicut Forum for IT (CAFIT) has already set its footprints as a recognized body in shaping up IT in Calicut and as a role model for similar bodies in other states for promoting Tier-3 cities as IT destinations. This has put a heavy responsibility on current office bearers in taking the initiative to higher levels.
During this term, we wish to focus primarily on activities that will aid growth of the member companies along with ongoing efforts for the promotion of startups and initiatives for building a total IT ecosystem in Calicut, and introduce Calicut into the IT map of India.
This will include the necessary events and training by proven people in technical and growth areas, activities that will help campuses in understanding the technology startup trends, there by the presence of IT companies are felt in the region. Technical entertainment sessions and events for employees of member companies will also be given a great prominence during our term.
These great ambitions are possible only if each and every member take up an active role to contribute, and I am confident with current young, energetic and dynamic team we can exceed all expectations.
