Unceremonious Exit of CEO, Infopark Kerala

It is known that Infopark CEO Mr. K.G.Girish Babu is removed from the post rather unceremoniously. Considering the enormous contribution this person has made towards the development of the city and IT infrastructure of the state, he deserved a better treatment.

Everybody in Kerala and world knows what was the plight of Technopark , which started in 1995 and went through both the governments (LDF and UDF at helm) of affairs.

It was the vision, commitment and hard work of a team with Mr. K.G.Girish Babu which saw the formation and then rising of Infopark in such a short span of time and attracting IT giants and many small & medium companies to Kerala.

Kerala is now on the verge of stepping into the global map of IT arena when this move is made by the government.

The potential growth leads brought by this man includes ACS, TCS, WIPRO, OPI (BPO INDIA) and many more. Infopark has driven the developments like Technopolis by Muthoot group etc. which houses other big names like Sutherland & Wipro. Many other names are there in the list like Google, Cognizant etc. who are not able to step in because of the Anti development and Anti IT policies pursued by the current government.

Let us not forget about the injustice done to the people of Kerala thru the SmartCity project and thus the injustice done to the professionals of Kerala. We are losing on a big opportunity.

The government wants a puppet who can act according to the wish of the BOSS at Trivandrum, whether it is for development or not is a matter of no significance.

I urge all of you to sign this petition not to remove him from the post in such a degrading manner and reinstate him till the end of contract period, if not beyond the contract period. I urge all of you my friends across globe to call for initiating the development activities which is in standstill and which will be forever if such negative steps are taken.
