Visakhapatnam is being promoted as the second-best city in Andhra Pradesh after Hyderabad - and quite similar to the latter's development, one side of Visakhapatnam towards Madhurvada is being developed as the knowledge city. What's even better, developers are concentrating on land area along the beach side promising uninterrupted views of the sea to those who want to invest here. While nature is very much on Visakhapatnam's side what with the beautiful port city complete with beautiful beaches, green hills, breathtaking valleys and dense jungles, the weather here also remains favourable throughout the year. On the industrial side, it has a big steel plant, a world-class port and a huge ship-building yard. Then there's a huge engineering talent that Andhra University churns out every year. Eyeing this talent pool are IT companies that have already started venturing into the city. Satyam, TCS, Wipro and others like Symbiosys Technologies, Color Chips, Nu NET Technologies, Kenexa, we hear, have already acquired land in the city and there are many more companies in the fray. In fact, some say Visakhapatnam could be the next IT hub after Hyderabad.
