Madurai - Next BPO hub

Temple town Madurai is the next BPO hub in the making. The IT boom is now trickling into smaller towns and cities in southern India.

HCL is investing to set up one of its largest facilities, after its Noida plant. Other companies, which are logging into Madurai are Satyam Computers, Honeywell Tech Solutions and Sutherland Global Services.

Madurai contributes Rs.7000 crores to the state's revenues annually.

Will beauty of Madurai be lost, amidst Madurai development and improvements?

Everyone like Madurai's Culture, Simplicity, Non-changing, ever-backward, religious, no-improvement, veeram(brave and courageous nature).

However, there is a general feeling and concern that if Madurai improves with IT and infrastructure, it would lose Madurai's mann vasanai!? Will it loose its original flavour?

Bangalore was supposed to be a cool and peaceful place to live. Today it is overcrowded, polluted and no place to live!

Will the same situation happen to Madurai?

My take is - it is OK to loose its original flavour, and I would be happy, as long as there is improvement in Madurai!
