Because of its wide geographical area, a huge number of teams spread throughout the country can work on a single project or provide uninterrupted customer service 24/7. In addition, since the IST is 5.5 hours ahead of GMT and 10.5 hours ahead of the EST, a huge time-window is created for companies around the world to accept more work, and get it done in time, by outsourcing it to India. This results in more customer satisfaction and increased business volume.

This IT ministry approves, regulates, and streamlines the implementation of IT projects.
