As Vijayawada IT/ITES SEZ park formally thrown open, many companies are expected to open their BPO and IT development centers in Vijayawada, which produces very significant talented workforce. As the margins in the IT/ITES business getting narrow, the companies are looking at the Tier II cities to set up their low cost operating centers, Vijayawada offers such great opportunity to both companies and the young graduates in the region.

Vijayawada is the cultural and commercial hub of Andhra Pradesh State besides being a good education center. The government is very keen on grooming this place into an attractive destination.
Vijayawada Advantages
It is a well known fact that statistically, a sizable percentage of Indian software professionals are from Andhra Pradesh and a significant number of them are from Vijayawada region, as every year more than one lakh graduates passed out annually from Viayawada and Guntur region.
Besides being a commercial capital of the Andhra Praesh, the place is located at a driving distance of about five hours from Hyderabad and seven hours from Chennai. It is well connected by rail, road and air, had the largest railway station in South Central Railways and had one of the largest bus terminals in Asia.
Moreover, the timing of the inauguration has become significant as the ongoing Telanagana agitation is affecting Hyderabad as the IT/ITES destination, in fact the future of Hyderabad becoming a contentious point of discussion between the Andhra and Telangana politicians. In this situation, Vijayawada IT Park definitely offers an alternate investment destination for the IT/ITES companies.
