Methodology
The purpose of the study was to rate different cities on
various parameters so as to arrive at the "Top IT destinations" in the
country. First of all a list of 35 major cities was made that were to be covered
under this study. Extensive secondary research was done by IDC to gather data
for each of these cities on different parameters from various sources. IDC's
proprietary data was used in IT related parameters.
Four broad categories were identified for this purpose and
these were further broken into 16 sub-parameters. The parameters used were
Industrial Performance, ICT Infrastructure Availability and Usage, Availability
of Quality Manpower and Environment and Life style
Each of these sub parameters was then assigned weights
according to their importance on the final score. The data for each parameter
was then normalized across all the cities and corresponding weights were applied
to them. Summation of this weighted data across all the cities then gave the
final score for each city.
