Offshoring Destinations in India: Calcutta
Calcutta (Kolkata) was the capital of India during the British Raj. The British considered Calcutta to be their second most important city after London, in the 19th century. However, disease, congestion and other lack of infrastructure forced the colonial government to move its capital to New Delhi, a newly built city just south of Old Delhi.
However, Calcutta continued to remain an important Indian city and even to this day, the city is one of the major metropolitan cities of India. However, the city has not experienced the kind of development that other cities like Mumbai, Delhi or Bangalore have experienced and that is mostly because of a communist government that ruled the state of which it is the capital.
However, IT parks and investment areas have been demarcated ad a lot of activity has been witnessed in this socialist city of several million people. The city is trying to catch up with its modern counterparts but is held back by politics, lack of infrastructure and a very hot and humid climate. Moreover, it is difficult to find people with technical education in Calcutta.
Nevertheless, offshoring cities who look at reducing their costs and renting office spaces at very low prices can consider Calcutta. Though there are disadvantages, once you get used to the city’s quirks it is easy to see that it Calcutta is just another Indian city like many others. Offshoring clients can expect good success in IT outsourcing in Calcutta.
