Sidhu...Sidhaarth Roy Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 [img]http://www.hindu.com/2010/10/23/images/2010102363160501.jpg[/img]VISAKHAPATNAM: The city should leverage its strengths as a Tier II Information Technology (IT) destination and create an alternative approach to attract more units, says S. Gopalakrishnan, chairman of CII southern region and CEO and MD of Infosys Technologies.Addressing a press conference here on Friday, he said with a number of public sector units, defence establishments and marine activity that have their own IT requirements, Visakhapatnam could grow. Besides, significant interest in power, huge data centres and applications on cloud could also help Visakhapatnam grow. “There is leadership in Vizag and people who want to make it happen here,” he added.He said small companies would have the opportunity to behave like big companies because once they put the application on cloud anybody could access it.He felt the city with a large number of engineering colleges could take the lead and develop entrepreneurship because any city would grow around entrepreneurs. The colleges themselves could be incubators for entrepreneurship.AdvantagesReplying to queries, he said Tier II cities have advantages and handicaps. It's difficult to attract manpower because young people generally like to work in big cities. Also it was easy to switch jobs in a big city. While pollution and quality of life were a concern in Tier I cities, the quality was much better in Tier II cities. On the other hand, growth rate was slower in Tier II and III cities.Mr. Gopalakrishnan said Infosys was not considering opening of any development centres right now as it was concentrating on consolidation and growth. Considerable focus was also on the second campus at Hyderabad.The Collector said the government would establish an IT incubation centre at Endada with the assistance of the Software Technology Park of India to encourage new units. It was expected to be ready in two years.
