Competition was closer and the playing field more level in the regions section of fDi's contest, with the Indian state of Tamil Nadu edging ahead of Australia's New South Wales to claim the title Asian Region of the Future 2005/06. Tamil Nadu took first place in the all-important category of best FDI potential.
As investors such as Ford, Hyundai, Nokia and, most recently, BMW have discovered to their delight, Tamil Nadu has managed to avoid or mitigate problems that dog other locations in India, such as infrastructure and energy failings.
Through pro-active and business friendly government policies, the state has harmonious industrial relations, a matured business culture and abundant skilled manpower.
Things should only get better: several new fly-overs and by-passes are under construction that will ease traffic congestion in heaving Chennai, and an 'IT Expressway' project will widen the main access road to that city's thriving software cluster.
This hints at Tamil Nadu's real secret weapon: Chennai's IT corridor employs nearly 50,000 people, and this number is set to increase to as much as 90,000 when some of the major IT companies investing there get their operations up and running.

I never told Bangalore is not IT city, first read the article clearly.
But among 50,000 people in Infosys and Wipro, how many are Kannadigas, it'll be lessthan 5%, thats your contribution in IT in Bangalore. Rest of the vacancies are filled by Tamils, Telugus, Mallus and Norties.
Why the IT companies in Bangalore come to Chennai and Hyderabad every weekend to recruit people? That shows our IT capability.
I'm really feel sad about your ignorance about automobile industries. No industry will recruit a illiterate. Everybody are skilled professionals.

Hey tk, I Really pity you...I know you are Tamil supporter buddy. But 60% of Indians in Microsoft are Tamils. That is your imagination at its best. Dont let your brain work over time. Bring some realism to this debate. Dont talk like a typical Tamilian

Tamils and Telugus are most to work for ITs from Silicon Valley to Bengalore, Chennai, Hyderabad etc... Someway around 30, 30 percentages. I too hold the same statistics and confirm the same.
But Bangalore accounts nearly 30% of SW export, Mum around 20%, Chennai and NCR more than 15% each. Ok! But IT dont perfer banglore for anything speical but its locality in India and not abt being in KTA.

This is real and fact,This has been told by Bill Gates when he came to Tamil Nadu last year.
In Bangalore IT companies, Tamils are working in various positions from top to bottom, Tamils population in all IT companies is morethan 30%.
The proof for that is all IT companies from Bangalore come to Chennai every weekend to recruit intelect Tamils.
