Pune - The IT hub

Pune is today fast emerging as an InfoTech hub. In many sense it has become a IT hub.People from all over India and world are taking interest in development of IT companies in Pune.

"Only IT and BPO professionals need apply" from this signboard we can understand what is a reputaion of a IT professional in pune? Pune is a IT boomtown. After Bangalor many IT profeesionals in India preffered pune .

Huge hoardings offer with everything from jacuzzis to landscaped gardens. "If you are working at IT park, you shouldn't be living anywhere else," screams one hoarding.

Ascendas, one of Asia’s largest developers of business properties,it's joint venture will be with the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) for the Business Park in Pune.
It takes 5 to 6 years for this project .

Hinjewadi's around 500-acre Rajeev Gandhi Technology Park is already home to scores of IT, IT-enabled services and business process outsourcing units. And hordes of others are on the way. From new companies to existing ones, which are expanding, they are all heading to Pune and its outskirts.

Lifestyle in pune is also changing due to this emerging IT factor.Mc Donald,CCD(Cafe Coffee Day),Barrista,KFC and many other international brands not only joined in this developement but also tring to show their presence by expanding their branches in the city.

Many reputed companies like Infosys,TCS,Tech Mahindra,persistence and many other reputed IT companies are in the town and many other international brands are planning to come ,There is a huge demand of IT profeesionals in pune and companies are ready to pay any amount for a experienced IT proffessional.Here 2 or 3 year experience is sufficient for salary of Rs. 4 to 5 lacks per annum.Many graduates from any branch of education having a good knowledge of software can get salary around Rs. 2.5 to 3 laks per annum.

Many critics who are not happy with the changing culture of pune from a sober small town to a fast,crowded city.These critics says that culture of pune is changed so drastically that real citizen of pune called puneri are hard to find now.The culture of pune for which the city was recognised got changed totally.Many people thinks that,and which is true also that this change is beacause of pubs,multiplexes,big malls ect. are came into town and they made people to pay for unnecessary facilties.People from IT and BPO are having excess money and majority of them can pay the money which is required for these unnecessary things.Developement is essential for rasing standards of people but there must be checks of unnecessary expences.In recent report from a reputed news agency shows that there is consuption of beer and other liquor is in laks of liters.

But we can not blame on IT sector only many other factors are also to be considered.In the huge development of Indian economy IT sector played a significant role.And this fact has to be considered.In IT world pune rocks.
