ABOUT
PUNE
While
the city of Bangalore holds the reputation for being the
IT capital of India, several other ‘tier-2’ cities
are mushrooming as key IT centres. Gurgaon, on the outskirts
of the national capital New Delhi, Hyderabad and Pune in
Maharashtra are the leaders among the emerging cities. “India
(and Pune's) biggest advantage is its cost advantage. A
large number of both small as well as major IT companies
are opening development/ delivery centres in Pune. For example,
Infosys, the Nasdaq-listed Indian IT major has a large software
delivery centre in Pune. Several IT majors like Wipro, Infosys,
Satyam, Tata Consultancy Services, Kanbay, Veritas, Cognizant,
PCS, Larsen & Toubro Infotech and Mahindra British Telecom
have development arms in the city. Apart from software development,
the city is carving a name for itself in the Business Process
Outsourcing (BPO) sector. Well known organizations such
as Accenture Services and Quexst Solutions operate out of
this city. With 1,000+ software companies, the city
also offers excellent job opportunities and therefore attracting
migrants from metros like Mumbai. The city boasts of IT
parks like Rajiv Gandhi IT Park at Hinjewadi, Magarpatta
Cybercity, MIDC Software Technology Park at Talawade, Marisoft
IT Park at Kalyani Nagar as seats of technology. Moreover,
Pune provides the right ecosystem for nascent industries
such as animation and gaming. As per a recent report, Pune
has the highest PC penetration among households and has
overtaken the much-fancied Bangalore. Top 28 companies in
Pune account for 100,000 of the 250,000 IT professionals
employed in Pune. These companies approximately contributed
about Rs 19,000 crore of the Rs 48,000 crore worth of software
exported from Pune last year.
