  • ·         Consortium is the way for SIDA member companies towards working together and growing together.
  • ·          SIDA members have disparate technology strengths and specialized in different business areas. However, they cannot scale up beyond a level, because they are small. Synergies from combined strengths and capacities can make SIDA consortium ONE stronger entity
  • ·         Being together and presenting as one entity could earn the trust from Governments, Public and private enterprises, thus to get preferential allotment and relaxation of norms
  • ·         Execution is the key. Building necessary infrastructure, creating working models, innovative business models can help to grow faster
  • ·         The consortium approach would result in at least 10 times of growth for SIDA members in 3 years, 10,000 jobs for aspirants in the region, prosperity and economic growth in the South Tamilnadu
