Bangalore is India's most famous offshore location but the city of Hyderabad is also one of the country's tech hotspots, and silicon.com went to see it first hand this month.

Hitec City in Hyderabad is a glaring mass of gleaming multimillion pound glass and steel towers and homes of corrugated iron shacks built on dirt patches. Hitec stands for Hyderabad Information Technology Engineering Consultancy City, a congregation of some of the world's biggest technology companies.

The Cyber Towers, seen here, were built during the first phase of Hitec City and officially opened in November 1998. AppLabs, Keane, Microsoft and Oracle Corporation operate offshore development facilities or call centres in this four-quadrant, 10-story building, which includes shops, banks and the Windows of the World restaurant.
