According to surveys, Visakhapatnam is leading the way in the field of Information Technology.
After the division of Andhra Pradesh, Visakhapatnam emerged as the preferred destination for IT development after Hyderabad. It holds the top position not only in the divided Andhra Pradesh but also in the newly formed state.
The establishment of IT Hills in Madhurawada, Visakhapatnam, during YSR's tenure marked a significant milestone.
Now, more and more IT giants are focusing on expanding their operations in major cities and key locations, with Visakhapatnam taking a prominent place in their plans.
While cities like Hyderabad, Chennai, and Bangalore have already witnessed substantial IT growth, Visakhapatnam is becoming the choice for future action.
Infosys has already initiated its operations in Visakhapatnam, and Adani Data Park has also made its presence felt.
The Raheja Group has expressed its interest in setting up an IT center in the city. These developments have attracted the attention of numerous new societies and prominent companies towards Visakhapatnam.
Recent surveys further strengthen Visakhapatnam's position as an emerging IT hub.
A Nascom Deloitte survey recently compiled a list of emerging IT cities in the country, with Visakhapatnam securing the top spot.
Additionally, two other cities from Andhra Pradesh, namely Vijayawada and Tirupati, also made it to the list.
What sets these cities apart is the ready availability of skilled human resources, cost-effective facilities, a thriving startup ecosystem, and favorable living conditions.
These factors make Visakhapatnam an attractive destination, and it is anticipated that large-scale IT companies will increasingly invest in the city in the days to come.
