Kochi: Infopark at Koratty near Thrissur, being developed as one of the two satellite centers of Infopark Kochi, will add another 3,000 job opportunities in the next two years with the completion of new 3.3 lakh sqft IT block by next March.
Currently, the Koratty park houses 29 companies with 600 employees. “The park has received around dozen advance bookings for office space at the new building which, when completed, will generate an additional 3,000 plus employment. A gymnasium, a women’s hostel and other recreational facilities are also in the pipeline inside the campus,” said Infopark CEO Hrishikesh Nair.
“It is encouraging to see that the companies are expanding and are looking for new growth avenues. The work on the new 3.3 lakh sqft IT block is progressing and it is expected to be ready for operations by March 2015,” he said.
“The park’s proximity to Cochin International Airport and the national highway are the major factors that drew us to establish business here,” said Hari Krishnan, co-founder of ZineMind Technologies Private Limited, a software developing firm catering to some of the big names in the business world like Siemens, Bosch and Bombardier.
“We are happy to be at the park here as it has the best-in-class infrastructure. We began as a startup and now have a turnover of Rs 1.2 crore,” said Abin Jose Tom, CEO of Web and Crafts.
“Thrissur has a lot of engineering colleges and we have been able to get right people,” said Mohanakannan P K, business head of Nuvento Systems Private Limited.
