Kerala Has Bright Prospects in IT Sector

 

Kerala Has Bright Prospects in IT Sector

 

The congestion in India’s leading IT hubs like Bangalore has presented Kerala with the opportunity to pitch itself as an alternative investment destination for IT and IT-Enabled Services companies.

 

A study by the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) revealed that Bangalore was losing its charm as the country’s premier IT hub for a number of reasons, and most of all due to its crumbling infrastructure.

 

The study revealed that 55 percent of the IT companies in Bangalore preferred to shift their operations to Gurgaon and Noida.

 

And this is why Kerala can market itself as the next IT hub of the country. Gigo Joseph, Chief Executive Officer of Infopark Kochi, believes that Kerala can take advantage from the IT companies’ new found preference for tier two and tier three cities. Infopark Kochi, along with its co-developers, is set to develop over 1 crore sq ft in the next five to eight years. The growth forecast of 16-18 per cent by the National Association of Software and Services Companies for the country’s IT sector also augurs well.

 

Anoop P. Ambika, secretary of the Group of Technology Companies (GTECH), feels that greater industry-academia collaboration is the need of the hour as quality and value of services offered will be critical in the days to come.

 

According to IT Department sources, the brand Kerala has to be projected as a more complete package. Campaigns should also convey the investment possibilities in the State rather than merely evoking images of Ayurveda or Kathakali.

 

They, however, feel that lack of auxiliary services like international public schools of repute in the State is a major drawback since quality education for children is a high priority for IT employees.

Work for the Main Building of Cyberpark to Begin in July

 

Cyberpark Kozhikode Chief Executive Officer, Binu A Pazhoor, said that the work for the main building of the park will begin in July 2011. He was speaking at the Kozhikode Collectorate after drawing the lots to finalise the plots offered to those who had to move out from the proposed Cyberpark site at Nellikkode in the city.

 

Pazhoor also said that the work for another building of 10,000 sq.ft. at the park, which was started earlier, would be completed in four months.

 

As many as 23 persons, who had given away their land for the park, had been offered five cents of land each between Chevayur and Kovur in the city for building houses. The authorities would make road, water, and power available to these plots. Nirmithi Kendra will help those who have financial difficulties to construct the houses.

 

The CEO also agreed to consider the demand from the landowners to provide them with a common plan for their houses besides setting up a common well for them. The registration process of the distributed land is expected to be completed within a month.
