Hyderabad was once heading towards being given the title of being India's Silicon Valley, under the guidance of their former Chief Minister - Chandra Babu Naidu. During his tenure, undoubtedly he did do much to bring Hyderabad this status, but once ruled out the entire vision melted away somewhere in the oblivion.
This may sound like a sad story, but nonetheless Hyderabad is even today considered one of the IT centers of India, with a large number of software companies and BPOs stationed there. Even today, the KPO industry is fast growing.
With a large IT base here, the home based jobs in Hyderabad are largely related to this company. These include typing, medical transcription, data entry, content provision, web designing, on line training. In fact, the good news is that some of the companies outsource a lot of their work, thereby providing hope amongst the home workers.
In fact, this city is considered as one of the safest for home based job seekers, as the jobs are primarily IT-related, provided by large and reputed companies. Another avenue open for people in Hyderabad is that of providing training. Most trainers are not employed on a full time basis, but rather on a freelance basis, providing them an opportunity to train at multiple organizations.
