Even with the immense potential it offers for the information technology (IT) and IT-enabled services industries to flourish, the city is not making any real effort to improve its basic infrastructure. You take any indicators of development, it shows that the IT industry in the State is growing by multiples and it means some things are being done right. Many of the IT professionals are interested to have a villa of their own.
Villas Tripunithura will be the right choice as the professionals are mainly looking for the transportation easiness. And specifics are what bother smaller players. A study made by the National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM) way back in 2002 that listed Kochi as the second best ITES destination in the country, pointed out frequent breaks in power supply, lack of good urban transport facilities and lack of perception on the part of authorities on development issues, could weigh the city down. Six years down the line, things have not improved much. For those without longer power back-ups, functioning in the city is still an issue. Shortage of professionals is what pesters medical transcription. After the initial boom, the industry waned. Not many are joining for medical transcription these days and we had to close down our training wing last year.
With internet connectivity becoming cheaper and widely available, more and more people prefer to work from home, mostly housewives. Here, power supply is the main issue. As transcription is a time-critical assignment, even a couple of hours of break in power could be problematic. So, we advise our members to have at least 2-3 hours of power back-up. This situation notwithstanding, the number of people choosing home transcription as a profession is on the rise. As one of them pointed out, the Info Park continues to be removed from the mainstream society with little connectivity. Even though the Airport-Seaport Road has been highlighted as the main connection that Info Park has to the city, it is far from complete and its work is still inching forward at snail’s pace.
