Inviting IT industry to any state is a blessing and a curse. Blessing because it creates new well paid jobs. For every IT job, three non-IT jobs get added, but it can also mess up your city as well. Whether it is Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad, Noida or Gurgaon, the IT industry has messed up pretty much every city because the cities were not ready for the infrastructure, which was required to support IT industry. Bangalore currently creates 100,000 jobs and 1.2 crore sq ft of office building every year and its just going on increasing. Because now the momentum is set, this industry will not stop. This is what a state needs to be mentally prepared for if they want to attract IT industry. Once you start the journey, it is very difficult to stop it. In Bangalore, for one acre of office building, they add about 1400 employees per acre. That sort of planning is required. Road infrastructure should also be planned accordingly as many cars and buses would move on the roads. If you plan accordingly, you will not have problems of Bangalore.
