Kolkata's shining. The metro, known for
its urban horrors for long, is now emerging as a centre to rival Bangalore as
an IT destination. And the global media is warning Bangalore that Kolkata is
out to steal its thunder! The New York Times, The Far Eastern Review, all the
big guns are dazzled by Kolkata rising as a phoenix from the ashes of its own
destruction. And driving the resurgence is infotech. Recently, Wipro's Azim Premji asked the
Left Front government for a plot twice the size of Eden Gardens at the emerging
New Town near Kolkata for setting up a campus. The 40-acre campus, second only
to Wipro's mother facility at Bangalore, will mean a rapid roll-out in the
state for the IT major. "It is Kolkata which has the potential to become
the second IT hub of India after Bangalore,'' said Premji. Other than Wipro,
companies like TCS, IBM, Cognizant, Lexmark all are there. The "City of Joy" is assuming
an IT avatar. About 30 IT companies set up base in the city last year. Most of
them are in the BPO space, working for both the US and the UK. Joanna Slater
wiring in the Far Eastern Economic Review cited the state's huge talent pool
and low costs as reasons for attracting IT investors. Boosting the state
government's morale, the story said software professionals who had left Kolkata
to look for jobs elsewhere were returning to take up jobs. |
