THE OPPORTUNITY
The talent is here. The cost base still works.
Kolkata produces a very large annual cohort of engineering and commerce graduates, and retains them at salary levels well below Bengaluru, Pune or Hyderabad. That arbitrage is the entire proposition for global capability centres and engineering services. Silicon Valley-style built-up space is available in Salt Lake and New Town at a fraction of metro rentals, with Siliguri emerging as a second node for the north-east market.
