Kerala is next to the bangalore.
“ACCENTURE” staring their operations from technopark shortly.
Accenture in Trivandrum. Great News.
Trivandrum is emerging as 6th largest IT city of India after Banglaore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Poona and Noida.
But Technopark also needs investments from those companies working on Embedded/VLSI/Networking/Signal Processing areas. Not just ITES companies only.So far, only Bangalore has been successful in attracting companies working on such technologies.
Bangalore had advantage of having premier Govt R&D organizatons in Electronics and Aerospace. Trivandrum with ISRO, CDAC, IITMK and other scientific establishments can also attract companies working on cutting edge areas. But technopark and Govt of kerala have to adequately devise marketing stragies to attract them.
