Bangalore’s bad roads and crazy hotel rates notwithstanding, it is hard to beat the city’s eco-system for technology firms, Mohan Das Pai, chief financial officer of Infosys Technologies, told reporters here on Tuesday.

Without discounting the infrastructure problems, which for instance has caused the Electronics City based IT firms to ask for a dedicated elevated highway, Pai said replicating Bangalore's success would be a tough act.

“There are a quarter of a million IT engineers here,” Pai told reporters on the sidelines of an earnings press meet, “including BPO staff”. Any company “can walk into the city and find 100 people doing work on some exotic technology”, he said.
