Business in Bhubaneswar
Odisha's capital combines government with a growing IT, education and medical base: Infocity at Patia hosts software and back-office firms, and KIIT, AIIMS, IIT Bhubaneswar and large private hospitals draw students and patients from across the state. The headquarters of NALCO and of mining and metal companies working Odisha's iron-ore, bauxite and chromite belts bring contractors and engineering services, and the Lingaraj and other temples attract pilgrims.
Also known as Bhubaneshwar.
Where software helps: Private hospitals and diagnostic centres drawing patients from across Odisha must manage insurance and state health-scheme claims, pharmacy stock and doctor-wise revenue sharing across departments and branches.
