Founding History[edit]

The need for an association of Internet companies in India was felt in early 2000. India's early internet pioneers such as Ajit Balakrishnan of and Rajesh Jain established successful companies but did not build an ecosystem. In 2002, baazee.com's Avnish Bajaj and Mouthshut.com's Faisal Farooqui exchanged conversations over email to establish an informal association of CEOs in the Internet space. They suggested a name "Council of High Tech CEOs" as majority of the Internet start-ups, were tech heavy. The new startups felt that the Indian tech narrative was dominated by NASSCOM's view of outsourcing companies. Council of High Tech CEO was also suggested to Anupam Mittal and Anand Mittal. Upon his return from the US after quitting Microstrategy, Anupam Mittal and others founded IAMAI.
