Kochi
Kochi, considered the financial capital of Kerala, has traditionally been famous for trade in spices, textiles, tourism, and fishing.
However, with its abundant talent pool, it was only a matter of time before it took the services sector by a storm. In recent times, Kochi has seen a major economic boom fuelled by large-scale investments , especially in the IT-BPO sector.
Kochi offers all that the IT sector firms need to prosper and that has seen many an IT park come up in the city housing IT majors.
