BANGALORE

2011-02-05T08:00:00.000-08:00

Bengaluru is called the 'Silicon Valley of India' due to the large number of information technology companies located there. Many multinational corporations, especially computer hardware and software giants, have operations in Bengaluru.

Bengaluru's IT industry is divided into two main "clusters"[7]—Electronics City and Whitefield. New clusters in Bellandur and Challaghatta have emerged in the last few years along the Outer and Inner Ring Roads and in C. V. Raman Nagar near Old Madras Road.

Electronics City, located in the southern outskirts of Bengaluru, is an industrial park spread over 330 acres (1.3 km2). Electronics City was formed in 1978.[8] 3M, Hewlett Packard and Siemens are some of Electronic City's clients. Infosys and Wipro, India's second and third largest software companies, are headquartered in Electronics City. The Software Technology Parks of India, Bengaluru (STPI) was started at Electronics City in 1991 by the Ministry of Information Technology. STPI Bengaluru counts among the premier and oldest Internet Service Providers (ISP) in India. It was the first center to be Internet-enabled in India. Nortel Networks is a prominent client of STPI Bengaluru.

Whitefield cluster is home to the International Technology Park Bengaluru. It was created as a result of a joint venture between India and Singapore in January 1994. It is a large facility, comprising 6 buildings—Discoverer, Innovator, Creator, Explorer , Inventor and Navigator. The 7th building, belonging to TCS, is in the process of being built. The Export Promotion Zone(EPIP) in Whitefield provides campus facilities for SAP, iGATE, Dell, TCS, Unisys, Delphi, Huawei, Oracle, Perot Systems. Captive centres of Tesco, Shell, Aviva, GM, Schneider Electric, GE and DaimlerChrysler are also located in Whitefield. Flowserve, a 100% subsidiary of Flowserve Corp(NYSE:FLS) also has a Manufacturing Plant and R&D center located in EPIP Area.

The Inner Ring Road cluster near the HAL Airport in Challaghatta includes Dell, Microsoft, IBM, Yahoo, NetApp, McAfee, Bearing Point, Fidelity, ANZ, LG, Covansys, Synergy, PSI Data, Target, Misys, Dendrite, Sasken, BPL Sanyo, OpenSilicon and Lenovo.

The Bellandur Outer Ring Road cluster houses Accenture, Intel, Aricent, Symbol, Cadence, Cisco, Nokia, National Instruments, Honeywell, ARM, Cummins, JP MorganChase, Oracle, Logica CMG and i2 Technologies.

Bagmane Tech Park located in C. V. Raman Nagar off Old Madras Road, houses Oracle (formerly i-flex Solutions), Motorola, Texas Instruments, Samsung, Dell and Cognizant, among other companies. Old Madras Road also hosts C-DAC,one of the premier Govt of India's IT R&D institute.

Manyata Technology Park is a SEZ (special economy zone) in Nagawara along the outer ring road where many MNCs have put office. IBM, Philips, NXP, Alcatel-Lucent, Nokia-Siemens, Cognizant Technology Solutions are some of the major companies in this area.

In August 2005, the Bengaluru Forum for IT (BFIT), which consists of 18 major multinational IT firms including Sun Microsystems, Texas Instruments, Philips, Novell, vMoksha, Synopsys, Hewlett-Packard and Motorola, threatened to boycott the Bengaluru IT convention. The proposed boycott was designed to indicate the displeasure of local and international technology companies with the city's lack of progress on the infrastructural front. Increasingly, new IT centers are being built away from this city due to long inner-city commute times, poor infrastructure, high land and labor costs, increasing environmental problems and labor retention issues.

Bangalore is also hub to many high-tech companies Infosys, Wipro, Tata Consultancy Services, Accenture and many others.

The City of Bangalore has positioned itself to help market the software industry. This is also why Bangalore has been playing host to international-class conferences, workshops and exhibitions devoted to the software cause. The city has the highest number of engineering colleges in the world, almost 50 percent of the world's SEI CMM Level 5 companies; COPC/ISO recognized Customer Interaction Centers, and over 103 R&D Institutions. It is, in fact, home to GE's biggest R&D Center outside the U.S.-the Jack Welch Technology Center, which hires over 200 PhDs/scientists every month! To top it all, Bangalore has just been ranked the fourth best "Global hub of technological innovation" by none other than the United Nations.

Bangalore's strengths in the software market also lie in its pursuit of new opportunities. In fact, two key segments that are expected to open up over the next few years for India are e-commerce and remote processing. Opportunities in e-commerce software solutions are emerging as a major area of growth in the Indian IT software and services industry. A recent study undertaken by The Boston Consulting Group for NASSCOM clearly stated that India can earn revenues of US$9 billion from e-business solutions by 2005.

IT-Enabled Services, or "Remote Processing", has emerged as the next major driver of the technology services industry. With competitive telecommunication costs, well developed infrastructure and a huge pool of English-speaking and computer-literate graduate manpower, India rates higher than many other countries as a hub for IT-enabled services. Call centers and business process outsourcing is emerging as the next wave of growth in India. The McKinsey study indicated that India will earn $18 billion in revenues through these services and create additional employment of one million jobs. Already companies like GE Caps, British Airways, Swissair, American Express and British Telecom are using Indian companies for these services. The IT-Enabled Services segment currently employs around 70,000 people and accounts for 10.6 percent of the total IT software and services industry revenues.

Bangalore is home to numerous success stories. Bangalore already has more than 1000 software companies and the number is still growing. In the year 2001 Bangalore saw a cumulative investment of around US $1.3 billion in the software industry. About 146 new software industries during 2001 and about 110 during 2002 have been established and the total number of software professionals is over 80,000. During 2002-03 about 116 new Software Technology Park Units were established. The IT industry's composition in Bangalore (2002) shown in the diagram below indicates that a large percentage of the companies is involved in high technology software development.

HYDERABAD

2011-01-30T09:46:00.000-08:00

Hyderabad is rightly known as the high-tech city. IT in Hyderabad is renowned world over. Hyderabad is the hub of information technology in our country. Hyderabad city is today known not only for its IT and IT Enabled Services, but also Pharmaceuticals and Entertainment industries. Many call centers, Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) firms, dealing with IT and other technological services were set up in the 1990s making it the hub of BPO firms. Ramoji Film City, the largest film studio in the world is located on the outskirts of the hi-tech city.

The progress of a township with state-of-the-art services called HITEC City encouraged several IT and ITES companies to setup operations in the city. A rapid growth of technology in this area has led civic boosters to call the city "Cyberabad". Hyderabad has also been referred to as the second Silicon Valley of India after Bangalore. There have been widespread investments in digital infrastructure within the city, which includes several multinational corporations having established centres in the city. The major areas where such campuses have been setup include Madhapur and Gachibowli.

Hyderabad also has the merit of being The Software Training Capital. The city offers innumerable number of software courses that are taken up by thousands from all over the world. Hyderabad is on the brink to become a global city as it has been selected as the location for India's first Fab City, a silicon chip developing facility, being setup with an investment of $3 billion by the AMD-SemIndia syndicate.
