"The present structure of GSTN was decided by the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) when Mr P Chidambaram was the finance minister. I have personally reviewed the entire structure and I saw no reason to disagree with him," Jaitley told CNBC TV18...

IT layoff numbers are overstated: Top TCS executive

National

As the IT industry battles allegations of mass layoffs, Ravi Viswanathan, president (growth markets), TCS, says the numbers are exaggerated. "Somebody has to take a closer look at the numbers.

Defending the industry as a whole, Viswanathan said that early estimates from Nasscom indicate that the IT industry will be net hirers as the yea...
