The proposal to set up 24 new IT companies with a potential to create an additional 20,000 jobs, at a cost of Rs. 1,000 crores, may have brought Mysore to the threshold of a boom in the IT sector, but the cascading effect of an influx of employees and their families on the fragile infrastructure of the city has already raised concerns.
Even if IT Secretary M.K. Shankarlinge Gowda's recent announcement in the city that the new companies will start operating out of Mysore as early as March 2006 is taken with a pinch of salt, experts in Mysore's IT industry opine that IT companies are bound to come to Mysore sooner than later on account of saturation in Bangalore.
