In India, Bangalore was the location of the first software centre, followed by others such as New Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai and Kolkata.4 Similar agglomeration trends have also been observed, for example, in Argentina, Brazil, China, Costa Rica and Kenya. At the same time, Governments may want to avoid enclave-type situations, with limited interaction between enterprises operating inside and stakeholders on the outside of the dedicated premises. The setting up of parks, hubs or labs to provide adequate facilities should ideally be located close to, and have interaction with, relevant centres of learning to build up mutual interaction and domestic technological capability in the long term. Such agglomeration economies may become less important as more software development work gets distributed over online platforms.
