Continue to ignore Chennai at your own peril

Excuse me HCL Info, are you doing your homework properly?

What's up with these companies leaving out the capital of the second largest IT exports state?
The iPod would be launched in a phased manner. The first phase would cover cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune, he said.
I am simply amazed at how conveniently these IT companies can continue to overlook one of the four metropolises of India but can include Hyderabad and Pune as though these are better performers in IT. Have they checked their facts? Or is it because of a concentration of Chennai-ignorant North and "West" Indian executives at the helm of affairs at such companies? Seriously, Chennai needs to shed its "let out work speak for itself" attitude and start painting a larger-than-life picture of itself which is how these other so-called "IT destinations" have managed to capture mind-space. What is the real pecking order of IT cities in India?

1. Bangalore
2. Chennai
3. Mumbai
4. Hyderabad
5. Delhi
6. Pune

When will the inherently anti-Chennai or basically Chennai-ignorant folks wake up to this reality?
