The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers is trying to rope in large IT services companies including TCS and Wipro to have a say in developing international technology standards. IEEE is the world's largest association of technical professionals with more than 400,000 members in chapters around the world.
The 51-year old institute's first president and CEO outside of North America, J Roberto de Marca, told ET that IEEE will expand its focus to beyond the US and engage with emerging economies such as India, China and Brazil to shape the future of technology.

"I am trying to get participation from emerging economies to make the organisation stronger," Roberto said. "India has one of the largest engineering talents, which can play a big role in shaping the future of technology."
India is the second largest member base for IEEE. Of the 130,000 global members, about 45,000 are based in India. There are also 800 members from India who are part of IEEE's standards association.
