Its all about the money

Business Environment from a student's perspective.

As professionals, we look forward to working in the best organisations which offer us the maximum potential for growth and learning. From such a perspective, for a true professional, all things considered, geographical location shouldn't be a problem. That meaning, he/she has to find that place adaptable.

My recent visits to Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chennai have set me thinking as to how we at MHROD are looking towards adapting. We have an alumni strength of about 320 and we have at best only around 25 people working in these cities. Straight up, the reason for this imbalance, can be explained to be that most of our students come from across North India. But these three cities, the IT triangle, is where the action is happening. Can we afford to miss the bus? And moreover what do these cities have to offer for us MHRODians?

Hyderabad, for one is one of the cheapest cities to live in. It has got everything to offer in terms of modern urban amenities-movie plazas, malls, posh apartment blocks etc but still is the cheapest of the IT cities to live in. Bangalore, for long having enjoyed the status of being the city to live in, is now under the cloud of "crumbling" infrastructre.It also has a problem with rising vehicular pollution. But, nevertheless,is furiously working towards regaining its pre-eminince. Chennai, the other end of this triangle, has a big problem for the non-Hindi speaking population but is ramping up infrastructure pretty fast too.

These three cities are pulling ahead very fast and offer companies a huge cost saving if they invest here. Hence, even these companies don't seem to mind the minor inconvenience as long as they work gets done.Its all about the money...
