In an exclusive interview with Ashok Kumar, Unnikrishnan, Dtr, Mktg, Sun Microsystems, says the cosmopolitan nature of the city is indeed a big factor in attracting IT companies.

Bangalore is the IT hub of India and the strongest factor which is giving Bangalore the current status is the presence of major IT companies both from the country and around the world.

Bangalore is enjoying this status because of the skilled manpower which is present in Bangalore in abundant numbers and reinforcing this asset is the huge chunk of English speaking people which makes the city a unique place for the IT enterprises.

It is not as if Hyderabad is taking over Bangalore in the IT sector. The situation at the ground level is that the country on the whole is witnessing a phenomenal growth in the Information Technology sector. Now all the states in the country are eager to cash on this opportunity. As such everybody is gearing itself to be a part of this bandwagon which is going to make their future fruitful in the times to come.

Since some of the traditional occupations are now proving futile with most of the states facing the economic crunch the IT sector seems to hold some possibilities. Now there is no need to mention that this country is abundant of trained human resource. All the states as such are seeing this opportunity to tap it for their prosperity and to do away with alarming raise in the unemployment.
