Proposal of adding a new content of IT Infrastructure and Major Business center running in Saltlake City and New Town, Kolkata

Hi Wikipedians,

As proposed I'm working now on article based on IT Infrastructure and Business center running in Saltlake City and New Town. I would really like if any wikipedia volunteer help for the photo's and content like (revenue generation and financial part, Clients associated with) major business center running over Saltlake City and New Town.

Proposed Requirement would be latest updated:

1. Photo's
2. Address of Business Center (For that We can use Nabadiganta Kiosk situated in Technopolis and College More Sector V, Saltlake city)
3. Business Process running in MNCs (financial, revenue generation etc)

Thanks. Swarupboserkl (talk) 05:53, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

The article on "GDP of Kolkata" has many errors, substantial misleading information and most of the data on GDP estimation has been corrupted for nefarious purposes. For example, in the article, at one point Kolkata's GDP is claimed to be $250Bn while in the very next paragraph, it is claimed to reach $190Bn by 2020. The GSDP of West Bengal is just over $190Bn (as mentioned in "Economy of West Bengal" on Wikipedia). Then how can a city's GDP be more than its parent State? Hence, I would request a manual verification of this article and the correction of information stated in the article. KMSeyam (talk) 13:13, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Please request a specific edit, for example if you did a manual verification, found errors and provided updated text with sources. Thanks. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:48, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

GDP ranking inaccurate according to cited reference

Incorrect ranking in introduction:
The second sentence should read "Kolkata is the third largest economy in India after Mumbai and Delhi. " instead of "Kolkata is the fifth largest economy in India after Mumbai,Delhi Bangalore and Chennai." The report cited for the GDP (PPP) of Kolkata puts the GDP at $60.447 billion, which is ahead of Chennai ($58.625 billion) and Bangalore ($45.313 billion).
