This is interesting and a story to watch. Yes we are talking about tax and health rather than law here but it’ll be interesting where this all leads.
India’s Business Today reports
Wolters Kluwer, a $5 billion Dutch digital information, software and services provider, is seeing huge growth opportunities in Narendra Modi government’s umbrella healthcare programme and the Goods and Services Tax (GST) implementation.
The company which offers information-enabled tools and software solutions to manage business efficiently in sectors including healthcare, tax, legal, and finance, in over 150 countries, hopes that the technology driven disruptions like the GST and the digital push of the government will create bigger market for its products.
“We have been in India for the last 12 years, but this is by far the best time to be in the country” Shireesh Sahai, CEO, Wolters Kluwer India says. According to him, the government policies and programmes will have direct impact in all four verticals it is present – healthcare, taxation and accounting, governance, risk and compliance, legal and regulatory.
“There is action in all four verticals in India. In healthcare, the government’s push for universal access will result in more doctors and more healthcare facilities, especially in rural areas. Our tools like ‘Uptodate’ will become very handy for them”, he says.
