Bangalore are romantically landscaped
with fountains and multicolored lights that
form the major attractions.
IT Hub
The Silicon Valley of India is a nickname
of the Indian city of Bangalore. The name
signifies Bangalore’s status as a hub for

the original Silicon Valley, based around
Santa Clara Valley, California, a major hub
for IT companies in the United States.
One of earliest mentions of this sobriquet
occurred in late 1980s in the Indian
Express. The more prevalent application
of the nickname Bangalore began in the
1990s based on a concentration of firms
specialising in Research and Development
(R&D), electronics and software
production.
