The focus of the meeting would be on the status of the existing as well as the IT investment proposals which are yet to see the light of the day”, a senior IT official told Business Standard. While the big four of the IT sector-Infosys Technologies, Wipro Technologies, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Satyam Computer Services already have a presence in Orissa, the state had also attracted investment proposals from other IT investors like Genpact, MindTree Consulting, Raheja Corporation and Apeejay Surrendra Group.TCS which had inaugurated its development centre-TCS Kalinga Park in the city in January this year had a capacity to accommodate 1,000 employees. However, the TCS centre in the city was manned by only 400 employees.
The software major was looking at a long-term manpower pool of about 7,000-10,000 professionals for its Bhubaneswar centre. Wipro Technologies had taken possession of 26 acres in the Infocity area of the city for setting up its full-fledged development centre.
