The initiative will be an online collaboration platform, which will serve as the backbone of the NASSCOM Leadership initiatives.

The LRC will be supplemented by leadership development programs custom built by IIM Bangalore Centre for Software and IT Management for Nasscom members and would be delivered at IIM Bangalore and across large cities.

A number of large IT companies have volunteered to loan their physical infrastructure free of cost as their additional contribution to the initiative. The service will focus on all segments of Indian IT companies and non-Nasscom members would also be able to leverage the services.
