Kerala - the next best BPO bet?

With IT, ITeS and BPO companies flocking to the state, Kerala is fast emerging as a hot IT destination.

IT experts say increasing costs in Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad, are prompting many IT companies to look at Kerala which offers infrastructure at low costs, better quality of life and easy availablity of quality manpower.

Recently, a high level delegation from Qatar, led by minister of state for Foreign Affairs Ahmed Bin Abdullah Al Mahmoud, had visited Kerala and expressed its intention to invest in several projects, including the third stage expansion of Technopark in Thiruvananthapuram.

Technopark, launched in 1992, was the first of its kind in India offering ready-to-use infrastructure exclusively for IT companies. With 75 companies and 7,500 people, the 15 lakh square feet structure, spread over about 156 acres of land cannot take in any more companies, prompting authorities to chart out a Rs 1000-crore expansion plan.

Ariyaatha pillakku choriyumbol ariyum!

As a kid/teenager, my only source of information to learn malayalam was Manorama Publications' Balaram, a children's fortnightly and my granny. I still vividly remember how she used to teach me the basics of malayalam whenever I come to Kerala on vacations. My granny was also a great source of amazement for me as she used malaylam proverbs or the so called "pazham chollu" every now and then. These proverbs, though small in length and use, had deep insights! Though I can read/write Malayalam today, thx to Balarama and my granny, I used to miss her proverbs a lot. But not anymore!!
