Why are we hanging tooth and nail on the concept of segregated technology parks. This is a sure fire way to create a social elite that even considers contact with the sada Malayalee below par. The motivation to create such pockets of development has its root in the dealings of the land and contract developer mafia. I am a software entrepreneur, I would prefer only 3 things from the government: stable electric supply, good general infrastructure(public transport etc) and water supply - which coincidentally is useful for everybody not just IT. Also simplification of norms for technical development and red tape free import of material and equipment. Silicon valley in the US became prominent not because of planned tech parks but entrepreneurs with an eye on the future left to do their stuff without un-neccessary legislation or meddling from the government. Most of the big companies took off from garage setups and grew solely because of innovation in their products. What businesses need is not glass towers and air-conditioned skyscrapers for growth and visibility. That will happen automatically as they grow and will entirely fueled from their revenues. I strongly believe that the basis of vibrant tech community is not divided around the lines of geographical location but that of innovation and access to services. This can be entirely possible through better communications infrastructure. Techno parks in India as a model for innovation is a misnomer. Most techno-park companies are glorified sweat shops operating on per-seat return on investment model. That is entirely unsuitable for real innovation and discovery. Innovation is not infrastructure but an attitude and access to investment and basic infrastructure. True innovative companies often have their own separate campuses. True Innovators are mostly very budget conscious operations that wont even consider the high cost per seat technopark facilities. They would prefer to channel that money to employing better people or buying necessary equipment rather on posh glass cubicle offices. But it is this very same innovation crowd that build billion dollar companies and not your tech park outsourcing sweat shops. What such innovators need is good cheap transport facilities and access to well planned infrastructure not some 5 star A/C facility or campus. Above all, the economic multiplier effect caused by a concentrated and closed development model is far inferior to a more wider spaced development effort of a wider locality not by some consortium, but by the small businesses growing on their own terms like at the Silicon valley.
