Hey Raju,

I like it. The article itself which is so well articulated
and as well your suggestion on the tax to be imposed on financial institution that buy and sell the assets.
It seems quite logical.
Altho’ I have doubts about oil this inflated price of oil price being a bubble.

Will talk to you later.

Keep it up.
You really write well.

Chao,
Shailesh

Gaurav,
The Infosys Knoweledge City would be positioned similar to the Mahindra World City in Jaipur or Magarpatta City in Pune. It would cater to the needs of MNCs and the Indian IT services, BPO and Knowledge Industry.

I don’t think it would be a difficult selling proposition, given the skyrocketing real estate and labor costs in the Tier 1 cities. In fact, most companies are keen to enter Tier 2 and 3 to offset cost pressures. For example, Jaipur and Bhubhaneshwar are attracting a lot of interest.

As for employability, this problem can be solved through in-house training programs. Infosys and Genpact have been quite successful in that regard.

I agree to a large extent to what you are saying.But what i am not seeing very clearly is that who are the potential customers of these “IKC”.
Developing IKC is not a challange but the challanges of developing these in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities are
1)Convincing the merit of these IKCs to corporates
2)Poor Employablity in Tier-2 Tier-3 towns.

Simon,

Yes, Accenture does employ Indian staff. But the Indian staff are a small proportion of its total staff. As a result, Accenture has a higher cost structure than Cognizant and Infosys. That’s why Cognizant and Infosys can charge billing rates at half of Accenture’s rates. This is the competitive advantage that Cognizant has vis a vis Accenture.

I think that Infosys and Cognizant have similar advantages vis a vis U.S. companies.
