I read an article that explains that 175,000 out of 500,000 computer engineers work in Bangalore. Bangalore is very high standard of technology in India. No other city in India can match and challenge Bangalore in terms of technology. Although the working conditions are not so good in Bangalore, but there are people working for. It is because the wages for the workers are 15% higher than any other places for software development workers. It is also very developed city compared to the capital, New Delhi, and economic hub, Mumbai.
WHAT HAS MADE BANGALORE THE CENTER OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND ICT IN INDIA IN THE FIRST PLACE?
I think your question needs lots of research on the history of Bangalore. I think that it has to do with the government. Maybe the government thought that the area was easy to be cleared and invested in.
ReplyDeleteKevin, this is an EXCELLENT question. One I could not answer on my own and had to do a little research online to find the answer. From what I read, the reason Bangalore is an outsourcing center is because it is diversified and able to provide many different types of outsourcing including IT, KPO (knowledge-process outsourcing) and other technology services. Here is the best article I found: http://www.outsource2india.com/india/outsourcing-to-bangalore.asp
ReplyDeleteI just researched it and I found out that it is primarily because of the climate in Bangalore. Since Bangalore is a plateau, it is not that hot in the summer and it is not that cold in the winter. ICT infrastructures are prone to the climates that it can't be build in too hot or dense places. So India chose Bangalore as the best place for ICT.
