“IT employees require a space like a pub or wine parlour to relax and unwind.”
The government's move to set up night-life facilities around IT parks in the State has evoked positive response from IT professionals.
Aneesh Panthalani, president, Progressive Techies (PT), a socio-cultural organisation of techies here, welcomed the Chief Minister’s announcement that the government will consider opening night-life facilities like pubs and wine parlours for employees in the IT sector.
"The and other means for night-life has been a drawback in the State’s IT sector. Companies, especially multinational firms, always look out for leisure and recreation facilities for their employees while deciding on their office locations,” he said. Mr. Aneesh pointed out that the cultural and traditional restrictions in the State had delayed the opening of such night-life facilities.
