New IT Companies, New Job Opportunities

Two IT companies are already running in Nellore, and now nine more are setting up their offices. These firms aim to create about 1,000 IT jobs in the very first phase. This is great news for young people from Nellore, Prakasam, Tirupati, and Kadapa districts. They won't have to move to big cities like Hyderabad, Bengaluru, or Chennai for software jobs anymore.
