X
We had seen that employees got separated with their respective JAC’s in support of telangana and seemandhra sentiment and now IT people also joined in the trend.State bifurcation issue has create splits between Telugu people whoever working in IT field and from few days there was clear separation got observed in many IT companies.

Now Telangana techies came up with an association named TITA(Telangana Information Technology Association).TITA has alleged about the discrimination that showed in IT firms in Hyderabad

According to TITA, its study of 150 IT projects of the top 50 IT companies in Hyderabad, found that 60% of the techies who get to work on these projects are from the Seemandhra region, while a meagre 16% are from Telangana and the rest from other states.

"We also found out that 66% of the top officials in the human resources (HR) departments of these IT companies belong to the Seemandhra region and they are the ones who recruit people for different projects. Hence, there is no doubt that they are biased towards people from their own region and this has been going on for years now," TITA president said.

"I have experienced that appraisals and promotions of deserving IT professionals have been stalled or delayed just because they hailed from Telangana districts. While, in IT industries, every one acts as if they are 'professional' but they do discriminate in the name of region," a disgruntled techie and TITA member said.".

TITA, which claims to have 3,000 techies and students as members, is also planning to reach out to around 200 colleges to conduct programmes to create awareness about job opportunities in the IT sector.

Let’s see whether any Seemandhra techies association will come up with answering above questions.
