Pune `windows' open for Microsoft
Section Investment Pune Posted on Sun Jan 14, 2007 at 08:38:46 AM EST
The government of Maharashtra has committed land to Microsoft for setting up operations in Pune, Arvind Kumar, state IT secretary said on Friday. Kumar said that the state government was aggressively wooing companies and rolling out the red carpet for the companies to set up base in Maharashtra.
"Microsoft is currently working out various options. Therefore we cannot give a time frame in which the company would set up base in Pune. However, from our side, land has been committed to the company," he said. Kumar was speaking to the reporters at the sidelines of the state government hosted event Maharashtra.IT @Pune 2007. He said that the government has invited HP and IBM to expand their base and had also extended an invitation to hardware manufacturer Lenovo to invest in Maharashtra.
Rohit Kumar, country head-public sector, Microsoft confirmed that the project would happen, but declined to give more details on the investment plans. "The plans for the Pune project are yet to be finalised. This should take another three to four months," he said. He added that Microsoft was participating in setting up kiosks with the state government and were bringing Citizens Services applications to various states through the national e-governance plan. "Microsoft has worked on various land record projects in 11 states. The company is also bidding for the state Wide Area Network (WAN) project to be rolled out in Maharashtra through its systems integration partner, he said.
