I have been wondering about new outsourcing destination in India for quite a long time...And every time I read news, I just read about the same towns again and again...Nothing new...
So ppl might ask how come I arrived at this town...What has this town to offer which will attract companies here...
Well I guess this is more about Rajasthan government to take steps to make it attractive for the investors...The town has all the initial ingredients which are required for any IT town to come up...I think one can easily compare this town to satellite town like Gurgaon...
Few of the interesting points about Bhiwadi...60 Kms from Gurgaon....There is already Nh7 running connecting Gurgaon to Bhiwadi which makes the journey just 40 minutes long from Gurgaon...With Delhi - Gurgaon expressway already up and running, journey time from Delhi to Bhiwadi would be just 1 hour. Gurgaon is getting packed with virtually no space left for expansion. Bhiwadi could be the solutions with readymade infrastructure already in place...Bhiwadi is one of the biggest industrial town in Rajasthan with lots of MNCs already operating out of huge campuses....Lots of industries already have huge base in that town...
Lots of huge empty land readily available for big MNCs to expand...Cheap rentals and good infratructure...
Proximity to lot of good educational institutions....Close to Delhi, Gurgaon, Jaipur and Alwar...This whole belt has more than 20 engineering colleges around...Supply of manpower shouldnt be a problem.
I think if Rajasthan Government can convince few companies to set up base there, it can act like a big thrust which the government was trying to find for a long time...Virtually there is no presence of IT companies in India...
Government should have a look at having a high speed train running from Delhi to Bhiwadi via Gurgaon for long term competitive advantage...GoI has already said that they are going to start an IIT in Rajasthan, that should also help for the long term advantage...Rajasthan also has a good English speaking population with neutral accent...
Overall I think with little push from Rajasthan Government and support from industries, Bhiwadi is a possible next IT outsourcing destination in India...If rajasthan government can get its act together, it shouldnt be a distant dream.
