HITEC City Hyderabad


HITEC City stands for the Hyderabad Information
Technology Engineering Consultancy City, a technology
township in Hyderabad, India. The HITEC city in Hyderabad is a fine example of
how fast and beautifully a city can develop if nurtured in the right way. The
high potential structures coming up in Madhapur area of the 400-year-old
Hyderabad city provide a classy contrast to the grand and antique monuments and
palaces in the Qutub Shahi capital. It is a consummation of the vision of an
information technology advocate unfolding itself in a rapid speed, akin to the
architectural ambitions of Muhammad Quli Qutub Shah. The hitech structures are a
two-phase acknowledgment to a technology that has concentrated the world to a
global village.

The business like atmosphere of the HITEC city is in
concurrence to its equally famous and charming neighbor Shilparamam, an arts and
crafts village, located right next to the technological nucleus. On seeing the
two co-existing harmoniously side-by-side, one is compelled to think how
beautifully have the two blended into one another giving another contradicting
and ironical aspect to Indian tradition. Both the HITEC city and Shilparamam are
a substantiation of the chief minister Chandrababu Naidu's flair in reconciling
his reverence for the old with his yearning to engrave Andhra Pradesh resolutely
on the list of performers and achievers.

The base of the HITEC city is a
creatively and yet efficiently constructed 10 - storied cylindrical building
encircled by a cluster of grand structures raised to house IT companies, both
Indian and foreign. The HITECH city has already attracted multinational software
giants like IBM, Microsoft, GE Capital, Toshiba, and Oracle and Indian companies
like Satyam Computers and Wipro. An earth station has come up in the township
which links Hyderabad to the five continents of the world. It has now been
planned to grow and develop it further and Hitec city shall go a long way in
establishing India as a software hub in the world map. It is just a matter of
time till that happens.
