Odisha woos IBM, Capgemini, Intel to boost IT growth, offers incentives

The Odisha government is wooing 10 IT companies to set up business in the state, armed with a recast Information & Communication Technology (ICT) policy and its reputation of having abundant power.

Odisha wants IBM, Capgemini, Cognizant Technology Solutions, Accenture and Intel Corporation to come to the state, following TCS, Infosys, Wipro and Tech Mahindra.

“The electronics and IT department is writing to these companies to bring them to the state. Odisha as a state has its own set of advantages. More importantly, it is a power surplus state,” said a state government official.

The IT sector employs about 18,000 people in Odisha,
