Visakhapatnam, January 9, 2025 – IT professionals in Visakhapatnam are advocating for the development of a healthy ecosystem that includes an exclusive beach equipped with basic amenities. With the city's growing prominence as an IT hub, employees are highlighting the need for recreational spaces that promote work-life balance and enhance quality of life.

During recent discussions organized by local IT associations, employees emphasized the importance of such facilities to attract and retain talent in the city. They pointed out that many metropolitan cities offer similar amenities, which not only boost morale but also contribute to productivity.

“Visakhapatnam’s natural coastline offers immense potential to create a dedicated beach for IT employees. A well-maintained space with essential facilities such as clean restrooms, seating areas, and food stalls would be highly beneficial,” said a representative of the IT Employees Welfare Association.

The proposal also suggests the inclusion of fitness zones, jogging tracks, and Wi-Fi connectivity at the beach to cater to the tech-savvy community. Employees believe this initiative will align with the government's vision of making Visakhapatnam a world-class destination for both work and leisure.

Local authorities have acknowledged the demand and assured that the matter will be reviewed. “We are committed to creating a conducive environment for IT employees and ensuring that Visakhapatnam continues to thrive as an IT hub. Such proposals will be carefully examined for feasibility and implementation,” said a city official.

With Visakhapatnam's IT sector expanding rapidly, the push for a dedicated recreational beach underscores the need for holistic urban planning. Stakeholders hope that the initiative will soon gain traction, fostering a vibrant ecosystem for professionals in the region.
