Hot IT Careers

	Rapid Growth
The rapidly growing IT industry in Hyderabad has it's roots in the boost that came from small companies involved in data processing systems in early 80s. The post-liberalization period in the early 90s witnessed a surge which led to setting up a Software Technology Park (STP) in Hyderabad. The resulting IT wave was extended by the efforts of the first generation entrepreneurs like Info-Tech and Sriven, Frontier, SQL Star etc. This drew the interest of NRIs, who began to consider Hyderabad as a potential area for the software industry. With multi-nationals joining the fray in 96-97, Hyderabad really hit big time. The IT industry in the state has grown at a staggering pace in recent years. The Software Technology Park at Hyderabad continues to maintain the highest growth rate in the country. In addition, the various IT companies here are also witnessing a spurt in business. The hottest areas today are in offshore development, e-commerce, GIS, Euro money conversion, and ERP solutions. The rise in IT training has also been phenomenal. A direct indicator of the growth that is happening today is the fact that while 29 new IT companies were registered with the STPH during 1997-98, that same number was achieved within the first six months of 1998-99. Today the State Capital presents an assorted picture - global players like Microsoft and Intergraph and local blue chip companies like Satyam, InfoTech, Visual Soft etc.
