Emerging Tech Landscapes: India's Tier 2 and 3 Cities on the Rise

Traditionally, cities like Bengaluru and Hyderabad have been synonymous with India's tech industry. However, recent trends indicate a significant shift towards Tier 2 and 3 cities such as Indore, Udaipur, Bhubaneshwar, and Jaipur.

Factors like reverse migration during the pandemic, supportive government policies, and the pursuit of a better work-life balance have contributed to this movement. These cities offer lower operational costs, making them attractive to both companies and professionals.

For instance, in 2024, Udaipur experienced a 17% growth, while Indore saw a 14% increase. This decentralization not only alleviates the infrastructural pressures on major metros but also promotes balanced regional development. For tech enthusiasts and professionals, this trend opens up new avenues for employment and innovation across the country.

How can tech professionals and companies leverage the emerging opportunities in India's Tier 2 and 3 cities to foster innovation and sustainable growth?

Good thing to happen for work life balance. Would be great if the system could found ways to properly design these cities considering the local geography & environment, culture, traffic, etc.
 
I am puzzled why IT companies aren't opening more centers across the country. They don't have to be those big campuses like Infosys has in Hinjewadi or in Bangalore Electronics city. Just get a building and be done with it.

Back in 2005 when I joined Infosys, I would have never imagined they opening offices in places like Nagpur, Jaipur, Indore etc. Mumbai was a distinct dream but they now have 2 very small offices in Navi Mumbai and Vikroli.

TCS has mutiple offices across India, not only in Tier 1 cities..
Capgemini doesn't and I am not sure why.

Our system is very corrupt bro.
They use poor quality materials at very high rates and make a mess.

I have seen recent develop roads having potholes etc.
As much we curse the foreigners.
Look how well planned Chandigarh is
We have not been able to replicate that kind of design in almost 70 years for one city.

We make excuses about India being too big and having large population etc.

But look at Moscow ...so big yet so well designed.

India does not have one proper city to talk about.

Some people may find me again bashing my country but what is fact is fact.

Hope I am proven wrong but like I said even new roads built are crumbling right in front of my eyes.

Because land is given free or at a very cheap rates to IT companies by the Govt.

Buying outside designated IT hubs means they will have to buy the land.
