With education infrastructure and entrepreneurial spirit, the city is all set to become a top destination for IT companies, CTS said.
Residents should have belief that it can be a tier-1 destination for IT firms and work towards that goal, he told the 11th edition of _Connect Coimbatore', the annual IT event organised by CII here on Thursday.
"If Coimbatore aspires to be a tier-1 destination it should behave like a leader," he said. Though it would take five to 10 years to realise the goal, the city should stake its claim now.
Software exports from the city witnessed a 90% growth to Rs 710.66 crore for the year ended March 2010. Tier-2 locations such as Tiruchi and Chennai have clocked `25 crore in exports, state IT secretary PWC Davidar said.
Trichy and Chennai are still behind. They are looking about Rs.25 crores and still in Tier II and III destination cities. But, Coimbatore is thinking about jumping from II tier to I tier. That is a good news for Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu and India. In other hand, we expect Chennai and Trichy also to go up in the ladder soon. Let us do whatever possible for that.
