Great News…for Technopark.
good news for technopark and good news for the techies too. In trivandrum, the companies are paying the lowest salary in the industry, as we compare it with other cities. This is because they are exploiting two things. there are no competition, and nobody who is settled in kerala is not likely to move back to bangalore or any other cities easily.
When new companies like Oracle & HCL is coming to technopark, it will be changed, people will get more options and they can join anywhere.
Good news anyway.
Great news for the Technoparkians!
Awaiting for more players come to technopark. Within next 5 years, you can see lots of big companies will come to kerala, especially technopark and technocity. great opportunities for IT professionals. Technopark jobs will be booming

gr8….can any1 tell me how to apply for oracle and ibm @ technopark???

TechnoparkToday, can you people update the job openings in technopark including Oracle and IBM in your jobs section?
what is the procedure for that?
This is projected as a big news by politicians and technopark, since they do not have any other thing to project. If we go to Banglore/Heydrabad or Chennai we can see 2 or 3 offices of big companies like Oracle. Technopark is the first IT park in India, SmartCity will go like this for next 5 to 10 years, so politicians/technopark officials give maximum advertisement, that is what you can do. It’s our fate.
but we have some limits, as we know. trivandrum is not a metro, and the infrastructures and the resources here are very limited and the IT parks are with the govt. so everyting would be slow.
