WEBEL
Webel was incorporated on 4th.
February, 1974 to shape the Electronics Industry in West Bengal.
The past few years have witnessed a gradual acknowledgment of the
strategic advantages of Bengal, a maturing socio-political attitude & an
appreciation of the proactive efforts by the Government & other key
stakeholders to further strengthen Bengal’s value proposition &
reinforce its position as a destination of corporate choice. With the
introduction of the Information Technology Policy of Government of West
Bengal in 2000, Webel fast adapted itself to the changing scenario to
suit the requirements of the IT and ITeS industries and geared up to
function as the nodal agency entrusted with the responsibility of
bringing West Bengal to the forefront of the knowledge industry in India
by way of taking a number of proactive initiatives along with
facilitating Private Sector Participation in the sector.
Today Webel plays the role of the nodal agency for the state government,
with two distinctive facets:
The first, assisting the State Government in nurturing the Electronics &
IT industry of the State, which has seen remarkable growth in the last
four years. In this role Webel facilitates the growth of the industry by
a host of measures, such as ensuring the availability of quality
infrastructure in the form of land/buildings for the investors, ensuring
last mile connectivity and also facilitating processes of clearances
that are required to set up business in the knowledge based industry
sector in the State. Thus Webel forms a single window to new investors
as well as nurtures existing investors who are working in the State. In
addition to the firm efforts that are more focused on the immediate
business requirements, Webel is also driving a series of concentrated
efforts to structurally address the talent concerns of the Electronics &
IT/ITES industry , development of core competencies & initiating focused
efforts to streamline the internal business margins, address a larger
market base & enhance ethical practices. Such continued emphasis will
contribute to long term payoffs & will structurally strengthen Webel
into a profitable company.
The second distinctive role that Webel plays, is in assisting the State
Government in all its e-governance projects. To mention a few success
stories, Webel has set up West Bengal State Wide Area Network (WBSWAN),
the State Government’s basic optical fibre network which covers all
district headquarters and eight important sub-divisional towns of the
State. It is now poised to implement the second phase of the network,
which will be reaching the Gram Panchayats.
