The single large challenge for Kolkata and the state, however, will be to scale up proactively as more companies and businesses flow into West Bengal. Infrastructure and availability of quality talent pool are the two most important areas where the state has to ensure continuous support and progress. A well-planned approach is needed to ensure that the demand and supply equation does not put the system under pressure.
