Smaller towns like mysore,coimbatore,madurai,khochi,vishakapatnam,Nagpur,Ahmedabad,Chandigarh,Gurgaon,Noida,Guwahati,bhubaneswar are emerging as favoured IT destinations.
Many IT majors like Infosys,TCS,IBM,Satyam have centres in these towns.The bigger cities have almost reached a saturation point with regard to infrastructure and other facilities.
