Bangalore, India Bangalore, India’s “Silicon Valley,” is the engine of the nation’s $250+ billion IT industry and a rising force in product innovation. Long known for outsourcing giants like Infosys and Wipro, it now breeds homegrown unicorns—Flipkart (acquired by Walmart), Razorpay, and Byju’s—in e-commerce, fintech, and edtech. The city’s strength lies in scale: a vast pool of engineering graduates from IITs and local colleges, combined with English fluency and cost efficiency. Global firms—from Amazon to Tesla—run major R&D centers here, drawn by talent density. Startup ecosystems cluster around Koramangala and Whitefield, fueled by angel networks and accelerators like Axilor. Government initiatives (Startup India, Karnataka’s Elevate program) offer grants and regulatory ease. Challenges include traffic congestion, water scarcity, and brain drain to the U.S., yet remote work trends are reversing some outflow. Increasingly, Bangalore shifts from services to IP creation—AI, SaaS, and healthtech startups target global markets from day one. Cultural openness and café culture nurture collaboration. In Bangalore, tech isn’t just an industry—it’s the city’s identity, ambition, and bridge to the world.
