Condolence Message:The Indian IT industry came to limelight due to the incredible and non-stop efforts of Dewang Mehta. But for him, the IT industry in India would not have made such a tremendous impact in the minds of the policy-makers in the Govt. of India. He was the messiah of the noveau-rich class of today's who's who in Indian IT Industry. He will be remembered for long. His infectious smile and casual approach to befriending a strange set of audience will haunt the minds of everybody, who knew him even remotely. Providence is not liberal n producing the likes of Dewang Mehta. But the best tribute that can be paid to the departed soul is by instituting the valuable heritage he has left behind in shaping an industry that hardly got noticed 7-8 years back. Govind

Condolence Message:Dewang was a worthy son of India who also carried love for his home state-Gujarat in his heart. In Gujarat, he would remembered for his support in the earthquake rehabilitation work. His invaluable efforts, zeal and enthusiasm for creating IT entrepreneurial environment in this IT backward state was phenomenal. Being member of TiE Gujarat (Seed Chapter), it was a great priviledge to had him as our President. He was the binding factor. His loss is irreplacable. Making India a economic superpower through IT would be an appropiate tribute to this IT Evangelist. May his soul rest in peace.

Condolence Message:It is very sad to know of the untimely passing away of a young and dynamic leader of the Indian IT and Software industry. May the Almighty grant him everlasting peace. Although most IT professionals hold workaholics and achievers in high esteem, but Mr Mehta's departure also shows us that too much work, constant travelling, stress, personal lonliness (he was a bachelor) takes its toll and the price may be the premature loss of life itself. May God give peace and wisdom to everyone.

Do let us know the bank and where they were failed as per guidelines so that we may do our bit. We will be glad to support." The Indian IT industry has certainly lost a champion! God bless his soul!
