policies, like the enactment of cyber laws to protect and safeguard the interest of software companies in India.

Setting up of the Software Technology Parks of India (STPI), by the Ministry of Information Technology, Government of India, and the International Technology Park in a joint project by the State Government, the TATA Group and the Singapore Consortium to promote and facilitate the software exports is another major step towards the growth of Indian Information Technology Sector.

Similarly, an industrial park, known as Electronic City, set-up in 1991 takes more than a hundred electronic industries including Motorola, Infosys, Siemens, ITI and Wipro, in an area of around 330 acres.

The Export Promotion Industrial Park, built near International Technology Park, gives an exclusive 288 acres of area for export-oriented business. GE has its India Technology Center located at this park and employs hundreds of multi-disciplinary technology development activities.

The other promotional activities that brought up India to this position include the IT Corridor Project. Conceptualized by Singapore's Jurong Town Corporation Private Ltd., the IT Corridor Project was initiated by the Department of IT and the Bangalore Development Authority in order to develop state-of-the-art facilities for the development of knowledge based industries.
