Meghalaya is pulling out all stops in its bid to emerge as a digital and IT-enabled services hub as the NASSCOM Industry Leaders’ Meet 2026, held in Shillong on Thursday, brought together top technology firms, skilling agencies, and policymakers to chart the State’s IT growth roadmap. A major highlight of the event was the signing of an agreement between StaffFlex Resolutions LLP and the Meghalaya Technology Parks Society for leasing space at Shillong Technology Park-II, making StaffFlex the first confirmed occupant of the new facility. The development was seen as a key step in operationalizing Meghalaya’s expanding IT infrastructure and boosting investor confidence in the State’s technology ecosystem.
The programme, organized by the Information Technology & Communications Department, Government of Meghalaya in collaboration with NASSCOM at the State Convention Centre, focused on strengthening IT-enabled services, creating employment opportunities, and building a future-ready skilling ecosystem for local youth. Chief Minister, who chaired the meeting, said the State’s second IT Park is now ready, while another facility is being developed in Tura. He stressed that technology growth cannot depend solely on competitive advantages but must be supported through a broader ecosystem involving infrastructure, skilling, industry partnerships, and governance reforms.
During the Round Table interaction, industry leaders from BPM, IT, and startup sectors proposed measures to strengthen Meghalaya’s emerging digital economy. Key recommendations included the creation of a flagship innovation hub, a dedicated startup task force, faster policy implementation mechanisms, and structured collaboration between industry and academia. The meeting was attended by senior representatives from companies including Wipro, TaskUs, Alorica, Tech Mahindra, Infosys BPM, Concentrix and other industry stakeholders, along with senior leadership from NASSCOM.
