Our Say |
 |
| Several
of our clients, who are small to mid-sized
European IT Companies, have selected
Pune as an ideal IT destination; even
during the Bangalore boom period. The
Infosys experience certainly adds to
what our clients and others feel about
Pune, which has often been overshadowed
by Bangalore. |

Indian
IT major Infosys, which already owns 25 acres of
the Pune Infotech Park at Hinjewadi, will now acquire
another 75 acres in phase II of the park- making
the Pune campus its 2nd largest facility worldwide.
The Rs. 2.5 billion investment will allow the centre
to employ 5,000 professionals in addition to the
existing 2200, anchoring the Companies ties with
multi-million dollar clients from Canada, US, Europe
and the Asia-Pacific.
|
| Among
the reasons cited for Infosys' increased interests
in Pune are the cities local technical skills and
improved infrastructure. The Maharashtra Government's
efforts to attract investments have also made it
easier for companies like Infosys to set up in the
state. MIDC has in fact acquired over 500 hectares
of land in and around Hinjewadi, Pune for development
of software and biotechnology parks. Phase I of
the Hinjewadi Infotech Park is already home to several
IT majors such as Infosys, Wipro, etc.
