Orissa:Riding high on IT..

Was going through a article in BS about DLF opening a infopark in Bhubaneswar.LINK
Some highlights from the article:
1.DLF Limited which is developing an Infopark spread over an area of 54 acres in the city,expects to resume construction work by the end of this month.
2.Wipro’s proposed software development centre in the city is scheduled to be operational by the end of February this year.
3.The first tower unit of the TCS centre is ready and has a capacity to accommodate nearly 1,200 professionals but the software major has only 250 employees at present. TCS aims to cater to its balance manpower requirement through a mix of fresh recruitments and redeployment of its employees from other centres.
4.Genpact Limited, the BPO (business process outsourcing) arm of the US-based General Electric has put up the boundary wall for its Global Delivery Centre. Construction work for this centre is expected to begin by March this year.
5.MindTree will be investing Rs 200 crore for its development centre spread over 30 acres in the Infocity and it had a long-term manpower requirement of nearly 5,000 professionals.
6. ICICI bank to open its eastern regional hub with a pool of 15,000 employee.

My comments:
Its really nice to see these developments happening.Coming from a place which is the epicentre of IT in bhubaneswar(Infocity,Sailashree Vihar) , it cant get any better for me.I still remember the days when the vast patch of land was full of tall grasses and lush green fields.Of particular mention here will be the area where Wipro is being built.We used to have great cricket matches dere and its been nearly 2.5 years we were evicted from that place.Anyways my happy days were soon going to end as i joined Wipro after nearly 6 months of this incident.
