"Services Including Software" Held in Abeyance for Offsets

We need to pragmatically device ways to curb/control corruption in contracts, and  in offset projects alike. Type of software projects that could fall in the ambit of offsets and right valuation aspects of such projects could be rationalized. Certain software projects in which there are many stakeholders, and the projects which as standalone do not make a business proposition but benefit the Indian Defence Industry as a whole including making processes efficient and transparent, could be a fit case as offset projects. 

Valuation of the projects could be done diligently to avoid over-pricing.

Answer to 'overweight' is NOT to stop eating but having a diet that is 'healthy enough to make one live decently yet reduce weight' --- a sermon worth attempting in offset projects too.

Offset Fulfillment- View from the Other Side

Obligors see offsets fulfillment against their contracts as yet another business opportunity. They would therefore invest in only such offset projects that are profitable ultimately, of course earning offset credits for the obligors in the process.

‘Mapping’ of offset recipients by the Obligors, or their designated agencies is a tedious process. It is here that ‘Offset Service Providers’ approved/empanelled by the Vendors play an important role in due diligence, ToT, training, consulting, etc, of the Offset Recipient Companies.

Online and Offline Services are needed for successful implementation of Offsets.

We provide the complete services in co-operation with our international JVs.
