Companies

TCS has acquired 70 acres (280,000 m²) of land at a cost of about Rs.13 crore at the new IT Park at Siruseri near Chennai. The $250-million TCS building built to house a staff of 30,000 working in it and designed by the Uruguayan architect Carlos Ott was inaugurated on 23 February 2011 by Danilo Astori, the vice-president of Uruguay.[1] This is the largest project attracted by this IT park.

Other notable companies within SIPCOT include:

Educational institutions

Transportation

Most of the organizations within SIPCOT have their own transportation, including buses, tempo travellers and smaller vehicles, to ferry their employees. Very few people use private transportation for commuting to SIPCOT, possibly due to the great distance between SIPCOT and their homes.

No thoroughfare is allowed within SIPCOT. Only one MTC bus plies through SIPCOT: 21H Cut, which goes to/from the Biotech Park for Women's Society.

SIPCOT is located on Old Mahabalipuram Road, and public transport (MTC buses) are available at a bus stop just outside the gate. Taxis and autos are not easy to get around SIPCOT as of now.

The public buses that stop at SIPCOT are 19B (going to Saidapet), M19B (going to Thiruvanmiyur), and M5 (going to Adyar) and 21H. All these buses originate at Kelambakkam) .
