| Kolkata
today boasts of three Software
Technology Parks (STP),
with few more coming
up. The 2,50,000
square feet standard
design factory with
modular Software
Technology Park I and
the 100 percent
export-oriented 60,000
square feet,
state-of-the-art
Software Technology
Park II, house some
key IT players from
Europe and the Silicon
Valley.
Privately-owned IT
facilities, like
Infinity and Bengal
Intelligent Park, have
attracted big IT
companies too. At the
operational level, the
government has ensured
ease of operations in
Kolkata through Webel
(West Bengal
Electronics Industry
Development
Corporation), which
acts as a
single-window support
centre for all IT
investors in the
state. Webel
helps companies obtain
built-up space on
rent/lease and in the
purchase of land. It
also interacts with
government bodies to
help procure last-mile
connectivity, to get
power connections and
interacts with the
local municipality to
reduce the company's
exposure to
bureaucratic problems.
Further, the STPI has
authorised it to grant
registrations on its
behalf. Webel has set
up an IT 'Incubation
Centre' to properly
utilise the huge pool
of human resources and
knowledge competencies
in the state
possesses. This centre
provides a platform
for aspiring and
talented software and
telecom professionals
in Kolkata to float
their own IT-start
ups. The IT incubation
centre helps turn
viable ideas from
talented professionals
into business
propositions. |
