I think the fact that they hqave 2 dev centres is interesting. Since, IBM India has offices in Bangalore,hyderabad,Pune,Delhi,KOlkata.
One must also understand that these are all IBM services offices. IBM system(ISL) offices are there in Bangalore and small sections of Gurgaon.
If they are opening a similar unit in BBSR, that is a good sign from the quality front. Also, the number of people hired wont be so many in the above case..
Let us wait and watch…..

Good news. It’s a fair move by the IT giant like IBM.It will place Bhubaneswar in global IT space.As per news,it is also good if it will be it’s third development center.
Govt of Orissa should encourage more such companies to orissa to make BBSR a true IT hub.

It is indeed a good news, as, till now no MNCs have opened their office in BBSR.We will have to wait and watch, till it gets finalized. I also know for sure, there are lot of oriya people working in IBM, through out the globe who will return to bbsr, once the plan gets materialized…

I know some other IT majors have negotiated for land and infra help with Orissa govt , but hardly any one has really worked sincerely towards setting up their centers at bhubaneswar except a few bigwigs . I hope to see IBM India Pvt Ltd to Open their development center at Bhubanswar by End of next year . Wish that Govt of Orissa gives them some relieves and cooperation , so that the dream of having a real MNC office at Bhubanswar . this will encourage other MNCs to come down to BBSr as well.Fingers crossed.

It is heard from 2007 that IBM will open in bhubaneswar. Does anyone know if IBM has taken up any building on rent or started construction of his own building at bhubaneswar? Or any tentative date by when IBM will start its operation? Has anyone any more update on this?

IBM has already taken 1st 3 floors in a newly constructed building near infocity….another 9 storeyed building is being constructed near it….of which i gues 5 floors will b taken by IBM

I guess that is for IBM SMB operations . The same infocity address is listed on IBM website.
Do you guys see any update on the Development Center in Bhubaneswar. I am not sure if there is a strong political will as well. Let’s hope that we see the MNC coming to our town.

Do u guys have any update on IBM Devlopment center in orissa? Wish orissa IT minister pass his Graduation and help the IT compnies to set up their operation in Orissa. I am wondering is really Orissa goverment intrested to grown up in IT?

I request the IT minister of orissa to spend substantial effort in growing IT industry in Bhubaneswar.This is the dream of each oriya IT profession to find Bhubanswar name in IT cities list.
Not only we IT professional would be benefited by this but also orissa would also grow economically.
