Condolence Message:I have spoken just once with Dewang - and that too just on the phone - while researching for a TV programme. Even in that short communication I could not help but get totally bowled over by his zest and passion for the software and IT industry in India. He was a man driven by his passion to make India a global tech super power. Now that I am in the same industry, I know so much more about the pillar that was Dewang Mehta - no, not was - IS - because this is one pillar that will go on standing for a long time to come. Dewang, you will be missed - but you will also stay alive in the innumerable hearts who have been infected with your passion and who are right now building the India of your dreams. Thank you for your life!
