With the recent series of industrial developments Chennai has been experiencing, this area is seemingly becoming the regional information technology hub in India.
Some of the companies that are now operating in Chennai include TVS Srichakra, Fenner, and Madura Coats. There are also many business process outsourcing companies that are flourishing in Chennai. Since many companies are operating in the area, more opportunities are now becoming available for those living within the region.
In a report released by the Confederation of Indian Industries, Chennai actually has the potential to be a manufacturing hub, which can be packaged as a gateway to economic opportunities. This is aside from the fact that Chennai has long been considered a tourist spot which has been giving birth to job opportunities. In addition, the government has put much attention in economically developing the Chennai district to invite more investors in the area. In the past years, many industrial estates have been built in various key areas in Chennai to give way to the booming economic activities here that are mainly about information technology. Some of the industrial estates that are currently operational include:
* SIDCO Industrial Estate, Kappalur
* SIDCO Industrial Estate, K. Pudur
* Hoisery Estate, Uranganpatti
* Automobile Industrial Estate, Kappalur
* Electrical and Electronics Industrial Estate, Kappalur
Due to the presence of educational institutions and the quality labor force available in Chennai, more information technology firms and other companies are becoming interested in expanding their businesses in the area.
Chennai, also known as the Temple City, has indeed come a long way in terms of economic development and opportunities. For many years, it was Karnataka and New Delhi which dominated the IT landscape in India.
Now, Chennai is slowly adapting to this growing field. The IT landscape of Chennai is now dominated by huge companies such as HCL, TCS, and Honeywell. A lot of small and medium firms are also thriving in the city, and some others are planning their expansion.
On the average, Chennai and its neighboring cities can produce at least 15000 university graduates every year. There have, however, been some issues of concern related to the English proficiency of these students. Despite this, IT firms are constantly hiring employees in Chennai and nearby areas, since the area produces at least 9000 engineering graduates annually, which is of course an important field in the IT industry. Even if these graduates are not that proficient in English, they are known for their skills and talents as workers, prompting employers to hire them.
According to a NASSCOM research, “Chennai still needs to work on its local and international connectivity as well as other basic infrastructure before it can become a viable IT-BPO city.” This is one thing the government has been trying to work on that could further improve the economic state of Chennai.
As of this writing, more information technology and business process outsourcing companies are eyeing operation in Chennai that could give more employment opportunities to the city’s residents and those of neighboring areas as well. It may thus certainly be said that Chennai has become the IT hub of the southern part of India.

Traders welcome Chennai road improvement plan
The Tamil Nadu Foodgrains Merchants Association (TFMA) has welcomed the announcement of the comprehensive road improvement plan by the Chennai Corporation. On December 31, the Mayor of Chennai Corporation, Ms Thenmozhi Gopinathan, and the Commissioner of Chennai Corporation, Mr S. Sebastian, announced in a press meet that a comprehensive mobility plan at a cost of Rs 1,640 crore to improve the road facility with two stretches of elevated corridor and five new bridges on congested junctions has been proposed. Mr S.V.S.S. Velshankar, Secretary, TFMA, in a release, while welcoming the announcement, urged that the facilities should be completed at the earliest opportunity.
Statistics for Brain Drain from Chennai
Need to book train for your hometown (either Chennai or down South) from Chennai during festivals? You will need fast internet & also fast fingers to get a berth!!
Nov.5, 2010 is the Deepavali last year. Reservation for trains for Nov.3, 2010 started on Aug 5th 8.00AM. It seemed thousands of youngsters were waiting on the start line at their Computers with bated breath.
When the reservation is officially available, all the berths on Pandian Express (most preferred train to Chennai) is full within 8 minutes and 2 seconds! Now, that’s a record!!
Nine other trains to Southern destination were full in another 6 seconds!. Perhaps these records will be bettered in future 
Railway authorities ruled out irregularities & say 70% of tickets were booked through the net. bulk booking, booking by agents were blocked on that day.
It only shows all the brain drain from Chennai & down south. Fresh engineers & graduates from Chennai were forced to move at least to Chennai / Bangalore for opportunities.
Chennai has the basic infrastructure, better than many state capitals. It deserves to do better on the job front. Rather than expecting business men from up north, Chennai’s business class must rise to the needs.

Chennai Impression has to change for good gradually
Given the situation that IT parks to be ready by September and by the year end companies who would be interested would take over their offices in the IT park - I am guessing impression of Chennai would change gradually.
Though it is just 114 cents (just more than one acre land in each location - Vadapalanji and Ilandaikulam), it is a great step from the government for the development.
As we have seen growth of Chennai IT highways and Coimbatore's significant growth - it is expected that Chennai would change its impression for fellow Indians.
Given the road infrastructure these days as bypass, Chennai is set grow to heights!
Invest in Chennai!!!

Chennai Tirunagar to Chennai Airport Road Infrastructure Approved
It is a great news about Chennai infrastructure update.
Sponsored by OruAcre.com
Since there is IT park coming up in Vadapazhanji area in Chennai, it was evaluated that there is a possibility of lot of traffic from Tirunagar area and traffic from Theni area in future. If anybody has to go to Chennai Airport from Theni or Thirunagar area in Chennai, they have to go a long way via Palgalai nagar, Vadapazhanji, Thirunagar, Kappalur, Ring road to reach Chennai Airport. This leads too much time and lot of petrol wastage.
Hence, there was a proposal for a road from Tirunagar to Chennai Airport and it is approved by Tamil Nadu State Transport.
Great! It is an infrastructure improvement in Chennai and at the same time Chennai Real Estate will have great improvement in that area.

Good Chennai Improvement News in Internet - Dinamalar
I think I have written about this before in one of our previous articles - here it is.
I was looking around for Chennai news and all I was finding was about Chennai's civil cases - like someone killed somebody, divorce, suicide cases and some corporation news or at times "long-time same status" infrastructure news like Airport, IT Park etc., I really was looking for improvement or criticism news about Chennai with photos.
If that was not available, I thought of doing so. Anyway, I was able to find that kind of improvement news in dinamalar.
The issues like Lot of Posters are there in all kinds of walls in Chennai. The issues like animals are all around chennai and nobody cares about it. The issues like broken roads, crazy traffic in chennai and rules not being followed etc., The interesting thing is that the improvement or issues articles are posted with photos.
Check it out yourself.

Economy of Chennai as of Jan 2010 - a reality check
Please see my previous article about people in chennai and their classification based on salaries. That should tell about the different kinds of people in Chennai.
I have written a similar article in April of 2009 for Economy of Chennai - a reality check in 2009.
At any case - let us check the status now:
One major complaint in Chennai economy is there is no major manufacturing divisions started up. Anything started up recently are retail outlets, refined grocery outlets, service outlets of different companies, shops etc., which sell things, insurance, banking etc.,
Only when there are more than 70% manufacturing companies, then only there is a significant improvement in economy of Chennai. In fact, there is reduction in number of manufacturing companies. On those days, atleast Fenner was great. But there are countable ones - Fenner, TVS companies etc.,
Every individual who works thinks of a secondary income and gets the compulsion of starting off something by himself, while he does the day job. While this happens, they always end up doing only service stuff and they don't create anything.
It is always only a share of existing money in Chennai. Only when outside companies come into Chennai and invest and give employment opportunities to Chennai people then only we get the actual productivity of Chennai and improvement in economy of Chennai.
Anyway, overall - it is good for Chennai's entrepreneurs to grow with new thinking of starting something of their own.
There has to be big companies coming in and giving employment to 100s and 1000s of people in Chennai - then there would be some difference and impact in chennai economy. In fact, any government concentration is only on north and not in southern parts of tamil nadu. If they concentrate, then there would be significant contribution from Chennai and southern districts as well.
