    I think they're only going to offer BPO services. I'm not sure how long will it take for them to start the IT services. Large number of Software engineers are willing to migrate to central India.

    Let's hope the IT companies create a new hub in central India. The only 'big' IT company in central India at present is Persistent Systems Limited. They recently constructed a big facility in the heart of the city. The IT hub could be a sub-part of the bigger MIHAN project and to the best of my knowledge, many IT companies have already booked large pieces of land in the SEZ. Let's hope that they setup their campuses soon.

    PS: ...and then we'll recruit engineers from these companies.

    TCS To Set Up Rs 6 Billion Software Development Campus In Nagpur

    Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a leading IT service provider, planned to build a large software development campus in Nagpur (Maharashtra, India). TCS invests around Rs 600 crore (Rs 6 Billion) over this new campus, which can employ 8,200 IT professionals in Nagpur.

    The place where this campus is going to be constructed is a 54-acre property in the Mihan SEZ on the city suburb of Nagpur. Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan laid the foundation stone along with the Minister for Social Justice, Shivajirao Moghe.

    N Chandrasekaran, CEO & MD, TCS, said, “Nagpur has the potential to become the next big hub for knowledge-based industries like IT and engineering with its strong ecosystem of universities, talented people and infrastructure. After Mumbai and Pune where we employ over 40,000 people, we are delighted to be part of the IT revolution in Nagpur. Our growing presence in Maharashtra continues to be of strategic importance for our overall business growth and we remain committed to working in close collaboration with all stakeholders in the state to help development of local talent and provide our customers with world-class IT solutions from this location.”

    He added, “On behalf of TCS, I would like to thank the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Maharashtra for making time for this auspicious function. We would not have been able to commence this project without the help of the Maharashtra government officials including the MADC officials in Nagpur whose energy and commitment to this project has helped make it a reality.”

    TCS will build this campus in two phases, with both the phase covering 8,200 seats for IT services and BPO services individually. A great care will be taken on environment while building this campus with water conservation, energy saving features and with a zero-discharge facility.

    Nopes! BPOs are called BPOs only. In technical side, there are two divisions. IT and ITIS! IT is where people do coding and stuff and in ITIS deals with installation, configuration, software and hardware... 😀
