IT/Data/AI professionals & enthusiasts, how relevant/big/ or true are these numbers ? 👇🏽

Ahead of the 8th Bengal Global Business Summit 2025 beginning Feb 4, the state govt has said it expects to attract Rs.27,000 crore of incremental and new investments, while creating 75,000 new jobs based on these :

Physical infra :

22 IT parks

10 IT buildings

2 electronic manufacturing parks

1 Hardware park

60+ private IT parks

250 acre Bengal Silicon valley IT hub in Newtown

14,000 applications fast tracked through the Anumati portal (Single Window Clearance system based on central Right of Way policy to facilitate the Telecom infra providers to seek approval on deployments)

Global AI Centre of Excellence to be launched next month by ITC Infotech

Digital report card :

WB state data centre hosts 500 apps

Features 8 petabytes of storage, 104 terabytes of memory capacity

Ecosystem :

Total existing IT jobs at 2.6 lakh

Kolkata's IT sector grew 70% in 2023-24

2000 IT companies in WB

IT exports rose 50-60% annually for past 5 yrs

As someone who hasn't kept up with most tech developments, I honestly wanted to understand where WB stands among states in India on the above parameters.
