Kolkata

Located on the banks of the Hooghly river, Kolkata has long been the symbol of industrial and political India. The city was the political capital of the British empire in India till 1912. Thus one will find here a medley of occidental and oriental architecture and style serving as a reminder of the glorious past while it moves towards the future.

The people of Kolkata commonly called Calcuttans (probably now will be called Kolkatans), boast of having the country's first Metro railway, and also of retaining the grandeur of some of the heritage buildings which are more than hundred years old.
The city now is a symbol of vibrance and creativity with all the modern amenities along with a leisurely life style and enduring charm. Sports facilities and stadiums, clubs and discotheques, restaurants, malls, cinemas, flourish in conjunction with the old world comfort of the roadside hawkers, hand-pulled rickshaws, dhabas & chai-stalls. The yuppies are comfortable in rubbing shoulders with the bengali bhadralok and participating in joint 'adda' sessions -- be they in the ancient College Street Coffee House, or the new age Barista on Park Street. 

Kolkata is now one of the fastest growing metropolis in India and probably has the highest growth rate in job generation. Many companies have set up huge facilities here and are actively scouting for local talent to address their human resource needs. Wipro, GE, Tatas, IBM, PWC, ITC, Bata, Birlas, Reliance, Cognizant, and many other preferred employers have set up base in the recent past and the list is constantly growing.
