Six small-scale IT and IT-enabled services companies were inaugurated on Wednesday by State IT Minister N. Lokesh near Amaravati and in the city.
He said the companies would generate 500-600 jobs. The state government was making efforts to create the right ecosystem for attracting the bigger IT companies also, but it would take sometime. "In the united state of AP, Hyderabad was promoted as the hot IT destination and it was almost non-existent in the rest of the state. We have to change all that now," he said.
The setting up of these IT companies was facilitated by AP Non-resident Telugus Society (APNRTS). Ravi Vemuru, the president of the society, said 87 IT companies had started operations in the Amaravati area. "Our endeavour is to bring in more IT companies, urging more NRIs from the state to invest here in IT," he added.
