The Cyberpark and Ul Cyberpark in Kozhikode are expanding the potential of global capabilities (GCC) to catalyze expansion in the developing information technology industries (IT), especially as a result of the recent proposals for H-1B visa.
Susant Kurntthil, CEO (CEO) of the infopark and cyberpark, Kerala, said that the predominant uncertainties surrounding the H-1B visa could help redirect qualified talents to IT parks and academic ecosystems of Kozhikode. “Two -stage cities can offer a better alternative. In fact, it will provide a clear way for GCC looking for a stable talent fund. One of the results is the clear future in the IT sector for the city of Kozhikode,” he added.
Mr. Kuruntthil claimed that the full potential of the state cities of Tier-2 and cities across the country could be unlocked through increased global investments and innovative strategies across their different sectors. These GCC units at sea multinational companies have the ability to perform strategic, technical and operational functions of their parent companies from India.
Unlike Technopark in Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi infopark, which employ more than 75,000 technicians in both cities, two cyberparks in Kozhikode are slightly representing about 5,000 employees. However, both parks found on the Kozhikode bypass are home to 160 companies, including developing start -ups.
The justification that supports US President Donald Trump’s decision to impose a one-time payment of $ 100,000 for new H-1B visa applicants, effective from September 21st, seemed to prevent the use of the program to displace American workers with lower paid foreign work. TK Kishhor Kumar, CEO of Ul Cyberpark of Uralungal Labor Cooperative Society, said that an increase in H-1B visa would probably be a reason to discourage companies from deploying employees to the US
“So businesses can start moving the whole projects to India and ensure that the work is treated locally without required to deploy the US. However, this could increase job opportunities in India. However, the future measures could be much more restrictive,” Kumar said. He assumed that many Indian IT IT providers would accept a close model, set up offices and recruitment staff in the nearest countries such as Mexico, Canada, and various other Latin American nations.
“After a long -term horizon, companies should move up along the value chain by moving from the” Body Shopping “model towards the development of products and innovation,” he said. He said that organizations should diversify both operations and income in multiple international markets to alleviate dependence on one unified market to ensure geopolitical risks.
Organizations like Calicut Forum For Information Technology believe that growth should exceed metropolitan hubs and identify Kozhikode as a potential story of success. “With the right support, our city can attract more GCC, create quality jobs and give global opportunities for our youth,” the holder of the office said.
