He said the 1.2 million square-foot park would have the most modern communication facilities and would be comparable to the best in the United States.

Tamil Nadu is creating modern infrastructure to woo investments from global information technology and related companies, he said.

Megasoft, with offices globally, is a total IT solutions provider. Company CEO Ravi S Reddy said Megasoft has decided to base its India operations in Madras because of the presence of high technology manpower and high-quality infrastructure available here.

The company would create research and development facilities in the city for Internet related and other future technologies, Reddy said.
