TCS opens Kalinga Park, a 1000 seat software development center in Bhubaneswar
Bhubaneswar- Cuttack- Puri, Khordha, TCS January 5th. 2009, 9:07pmFollowing is an excerpt from a report in domain-b.
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), the country’s largest exporter of information technology and IT-backed products, has opened a 1,000-seat software development centre at Bhubaneswar – TCS Kalinga Park – as the company extends its presence to Tier-II and Tier-III cities.
… Spread over 45 acres of land, TCS Kalinga Park will have a capacity of 7,000 seats at full capacity, he added.
With over 70 per cent of campus hiring at TCS taking place at Tier II and Tier III cities, these centres will drive growth for the company, he said.
TCS Kalinga Park, an approved special export zone (SEZ), also boasts of the country’s first Energy and Environmental Design (Leed)-rated IT campus.
Planning Commission secretary S Pani, who was instrumental in providing a boost to the IT sector in Orissa, said Bhubaneswar has the potential to become a major IT hub with at least 50,000 software developers.
The Tata Group, which has so far invested in a Ginger hotel and the TCS software development centre in Orissa, will also be investing in a mega-steel plant in the state.
”Orissa, regarded as a late starter in the nineties had emerged as a favored IT destination due to the congenial work environment and effective policy initiatives, ” said chief minister Naveen Patnaik while inaugurating the TSC Kalinga Park.
The chief minister also said the state government will soon get into the e-governance mode for all procurement and tendering processeses.

it is very good that TCS opens Kalinga Park, a 1000 seat software development center in Bhubaneswar but as in every state they are writting names in english as well as in their regional language, in orissa we should and must write name and other advertising boards in english as well as in oriya.

TCS opened its IT center at orissa. But by taking in to account the present scenario of IT enggs from various colleges of orissa , tcs has to reserve seats for the students whom they hire 2 work with tcs. So that everybody put their hand in developing orissa also in IT sector. Thanks

Both the comments above are totally stupid.What is the haste of getting “TCS” written in Oriya.
No reservation funda please …these are strictly bugged ideas.
The Odiya IT engineers are sharp enough to pave their own ways tirelessly.Nobody needs to put their heads into the process TCS hires people.
