How Bangalore is Outpacing Silicon Valley - Tech Nomad in India

--

If you’ve ever read anything about the startup world in the past three decades, then you’ve heard of this place: Bangalore.
This is India’s startup heaven. It has a reputation that few other places in the world can match.
For years, Bangalore fascinated me.

Now, I’m finally here.
It’s a city of contrasts, where a promising future meets a challenging present.
Just take a look around, and you’ll see a city that has seen dramatic growth.
People come here for a better future. Of the 13 million people who live here, half are immigrants.
They come here because Bangalore offers opportunities.

You can find transformative salaries here. And, yes, sometimes, that comes at a cost.

Traffic is only one of the challenges. Like any other growing metropolis, Bangalore faces other issues.

Still, the city has flourished.

Thousands of startups have appeared in recent years, all intending to change technology here and on a global scale.
So, while Bangalore faces these challenges, they don’t slow this city down.
Being here taught me that this is much more than just startups.

In fact, Bangalore is essential for India and its people, and here’s why.

Everytime we Indians keep commenting that this is not how India looks but finally this time i can that yes this is how India really looks and that's the potential we have. And with that i mean yes we have poverty we have pollution but not as bad as what west portrays us.

As someone who's starting his career by joining a fast-growing AI startup in its Koramangala office in 3 months, it feels nice to hear about the city and neighbourhood I'm about to call home for the next few years

[WithUsersInMind]

Agreed, flipkart was the gear shift that accelerated Indian startups to new heights

As a person who's lived in Bengaluru for 12 years at this point, the changes are clearly visible. Thank you for choosing to cover this topic.

As someone who grew up in Bengaluru, this is so amazing. I live in the US. Whenever I visit Bengaluru, there are so many changes and positive outlook. What I love is the public transportation - buses and metro trains! The old pictures of Cubbon park, Lal Bagh, MG Road, Vidhana Soudha is very nostalgic. I see them in old movies. It was a chill city. One thing Bengaluru needs to focus on is rain water conservation and management. Lots of lakes were closed down with sand and mud to build this infrastructure. That's why whenever there is heavy rain, there are floods. Many environmentalists have predicted that In the future there will drinking water shortage in this great city.

Texas Instruments was the first technology product company which setup its office in Bengaluru in 1984-85. Unfortunately, Infosys, though was the first technology services company, was always known as a services company and only created the tradition of going to US, live like a miser and return and show off the dollars. The real technology startup boom was started by Flipkart and this followed the list of innovative startups, which was actually solving real life problems and gave the real reason to engineers that they can get the technological edge as well as good salary even in India.

You guys keep impressing 🔥

Literally Bengaluru was a small tier 2 city in 90s, people used to think only big 4 Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Chennai as tier 1, where they can go for better lives. In last 10 years Bengaluru has been the dream city for everyone in whole India. Every single day People moving here. There was Hyderabad who was competing in early days, but now Bengaluru is dream destination for everyone. Still in terms of infrastructure this city has probably the worst of all. It will get better, as it gets highest FDI ad compared to any city.

[arindambchrjee]

I think what sets Bengaluru apart is the fact that the growth is not fuelled by a single specific industry. True the IT boom gave it the lift off, but currently, Bengaluru and adjoining areas are a major engineering and manufacturing hub. Financial services industry that Bengaluru offers is paralleled by very few cities in the world. Name a major bank in the world, possibility is that they have a presence in Bengaluru. Economic growth outpacing Infrastructure development continues to be a major problem. But the true strength of the city is that it has hedged it's bets well and diversified over the last decade or so in terms of the different industries it caters to.

This shows how much you loved and passionate about Bengaluru. The city is having all the potential to grow and became next silicon Valley only with better infrastructure.

[manju]

Proud to be a Bengalurian....but we need to have a good Infra only then it can become Silicon Valley of India

[karthikmurali]

I have been living in Bengaluru for 12 years now. It's a beautiful city with great people. Sadly there is a lot of corruption that's spoiling the city more and more.

[DrTechsavvy]

Best Weather ☁️, Discipline & Career Opportunities !
Except Traffic and Racism, rest everything is good !

Bengaluru had a great start even before independence because of the Wodeyars. The Mysuru royal family was scientific oriented and did everything to create educational and scientific institutions and promote talent to make the entire state developed. The second reason we're the kannadigas itself. They have always been peaceful and education oriented and liberal at their core. These two reasons alone has made Bengaluru the behemoth it is.

I smile...as the US and the UK send back visa professionals, these very folks will use their gained knowledge and expertise and create strong competition. By the time Silicon Valley figures it out it will be too hard to catch up, unless they start doing mergers or buy-outs.

I lived here for a year. I used to herd cows. Selling milk was very profitable. With that money I bought half of Bangalore. Today all startups are my tenant.

[ssarkar]

I lived in Koramangala in the late 90s. It was a serene place. Autos weren't too keen to go there. How different it is today!

[DreamCatcher-wgbk]

The city culture is vibrant with full of smart and highly enthusiastic minds. The major bottel neck however is the city infrastructure, which is not planned for the most part. The city civic infrastructure is unable handle the high population influx, and my God the traffic. You can easily validate an idea, build the product and talk to investors while you are still stuck in the traffic.

I work in the blockchain space, used to live and work in silicon valley and finally visiting Bengaluru for the first time this week. Super excited to travel and work with the talented students and developers in this area.
