Shillong, May 13: Meghalaya is stepping up efforts to position itself as the “Digital Hub of Eastern India” with the state government partnering with Nasscom to host the “Nasscom Industry Leaders’ Meet 2026” in Shillong on May 14.
According to an official release, the event is aimed at attracting fresh investments into Meghalaya’s growing IT and IT-enabled Services (ITeS) sector and showcasing the state’s expanding digital infrastructure.
The meeting will be held alongside the BPM Council meeting scheduled for May 15 and is expected to bring together top industry leaders and executives from major companies including Wipro BPS, Alorica, Tech Mahindra, Concentrix, Han Digital, Infosys BPM, Achala Solutions and TaskUs.

As part of the programme, delegates will also visit the Shillong Technology Park at Umsawli in New Shillong Township.
The government said the first phase of Shillong Technology Park is already fully occupied by eight companies, including [24×7] ai, Techorb Digital, Sirobilt, Magic Works, Merit, Pursuit Software, HDFC Bank and Shamrock AI, collectively employing around 1,200 people.
