A land of opportunities, Bhubaneswar the State Capital of Odisha, has already scaled enviable heights of achievements in IT exports, churning out IT professionals, creating IT infrastructure etc. The export turnover of STPI Bhubaneswar has grown from nil during 1994-95 to a staggering Rs. 1800 Crores in 2012-13 by putting the State in a commendable position in IT map of the country. It is heartening to note that State of Odisha has achieved 10th position among the Indian States in IT exports.
Odisha is the only destination in the Eastern India where all four IT majors such as Infosys, TCS, Wipro and Mahindra Satyam have set up their Development Centres. Ironically Bhubaneswar was among first three cities along with Pune & Bangalore where Govt. of India had established STPI centres during the year 1991. The IT major Infosys was set up its first offshore Development at Bhubaneswar outside Karnataka during the year 1996. Needless to say all above speaks about the IT potential enjoyed by the city.
Bhubaneswar is slowly turning out to be the favored destination of many IT & ITES companies as many big players have already setup their operation at Bhubaneswar. The IT sector scenario in Bhubaneswar finally seems to be changing for the better. This trend is surely going to benefit the young engineering graduates of the city who had no other option but to leave the state and move to other IT hubs like Bangaluru, Hyderabad & Pune in search of jobs and better carrier opportunities. These young professionals can finally hope to fulfill their dream of working in world class companies in their own state. Infosys was the first big player that started its operation in Bhubaneswar way back in 1997. This particular move virtually kick started the expansion of IT sector in Bhubaneswar which has the potential to become a world class IT hub.
