As in rest of India, Hyderabad job market has been dull. The political uncertainty has had an affect, but we can seek some consolation from the fact that the companies already in Hyderabad were extremely happy in the past 4 years. One big reason is the low attrition as very few new companies have set up shop. Continuous flow of new entrants would have unleashed a war for experienced talent.
Second reason is that in spite of on going agitations, not single day of work was affected. So, existing players have chosen to grow organically in Hyderabad surprising everybody. Many of the existing companies have added staff on a regular basis. Deloitte is a great case along with Amazon. Deloitte is planning to consolidate all its office space into two massive 17 floor towers close to Ramky Towers.
There has been no new office place coming into the market in the last 5 years. (2013 and 2014 will see some additions). So, surprisingly, office space at Rs 55 per sft is on par with some of the IT park offerings in Bangalore. Some IT parks in the East - North Bangalore are under Rs 50 per sft.
The office space market in Hitec City and Gachibowli has been kept busy with lot of companies moving from Banjara Hills and beyond to the IT parks. Lack of parking spaces in old offices, deteriorating buildings, architecture not suited for current industry standards and lack of desired aura around the current location have prompted move from the core city to Hitec City side. Over the years, most IT employees have started living in West Hyderabad. pushing the employer further to be in that part of the city.
