Mysore, also known as Mysuru, is the third largest city in the state of Karnataka, India.   It is known as the cultural capital of Karnataka and it really is filled with beautiful architecture, temples and heritage structures, forts and palaces, art, music, dance, festivals and festivities, ashrams, yogis and gurus.  

People travel from all over the world to visit and spend time in Mysore.  You’ll find hippies, backpackers, people seeking spiritual enlightenment, families, young, old and anyone who has an eye for peace and beauty.  Mysore is a beautiful state.  It is no doubt that tourism is the centre of the economy here, with many people employed in the service industry.  Shopping is huge and almost any traveller will go home with gorgeous Indian silks or textiles, fabrics, traditional turbans, scarves or saris.

There are several yoga schools in the area and visitors can do day classes, join up for a few days or do a yoga training school.  It all goes together with lovely places to stay, delicious food and divine scenery too.

Mysore is not all about hippies and spirituality though.  There isa huge tech industry and the Software Industry in particular has grown, mostly to meet the requirements of the service and the tourist industry in Mysore. Tech parks have sprung up on the outskirts of the city, never in the eye of the traveller, but significant progress has been made in the digital industry, and Information Technology in Mysore is as important as anywhere else in India.

The IT Park in Mysore is large, over 5 acres, hosting many software companies, both local and national. Kayne Technology, Mysuru Industries, Nexshore Technologies and Vinnyas Innovative Technologies can all be found in Mysore.  All cities in India have recognised the need for Information Technology and how they can both benefit from it and provide others with it.  And a city like Mysore, no matter how calm, quiet, pretty and yogic it may be, needs to keep up with the times.

If you are thinking of loving somewhere that is beautiful, has a quite pace of life, where traffic is not too bad and yet there is a good infrastructure and lots of development – take a look at Mysore.  It might be quite nice to do some yoga in the morning, a little meditation and then to head off to work in the Information Technology field.  You can in fact combine life in the service industry with life in the technological industry; the two are highly connected now.  (of course, you don’t have to do yoga)!
