Bangalore—The “Technopolis” of
India
A large part of India’s success in the software sector is due
to the crucial role played by the State of Karnataka in promoting and
providing a boost to IT. Bangalore has for long been known as India’s
answer to Silicon Valley, and this is the city where most large software
companies have set up shop and operate out of state-of-the-art facilities.
This is the reason it is fast becoming the “Technopolis” of
India.
