The 5th eINDIA2009, co-organised by the Department of Information Technology, Ministry of Communications and IT, Government of India was a great success, achieving record attendance and further establishing eINDIA a reputation as India’s largest ICT conference and exhibition.

The eINDIA conference saw around 320 speakers across seven thematic tracks and more than 3,000 delegates representing more than 35 countries.
