In India, Bangalore is often referred to as the Silicon Valley of India because it has become an investment friendly city which offers access to huge technical and experienced human resources, but compared to Silicon Valley in California, Bangalore still has a long way to go. Silicon Valley is famous for its intensive entrepreneural activities, but in Bangalore people would prefer to join companies rather than start their own ventures. Although this too is changing, many tech workers from Silicon Valley have moved back to Bangalore and are starting up new businesses.
Silicon valley is an area in california known as being a global focal point for technology firms and start-ups (originally related to semiconductor design, in many cases, thus the name). Since Bangalore has a high concentration of technology the name 'silicon valley of india' is used to describe its growing importance as a hub for i.t. related firms.

After India gained independence in 1947, Bangalore evolved into a manufacturing hub for public sector heavy industries—particularly aerospace, space and defence. The establishment and success of high technology firms in Bangalore after the liberalisation of India's economy has led to the growth of India's information technology industry. Bangalore is referred to as the Silicon Valley of India and accounts for 35 percent of India's software exports. Home to prestigious colleges and research institutions, the city has the second-highest literacy rate among the metropolitan cities in the nation. However, as a large and growing metropolis in the developing world, Bangalore continues to struggle with problems such as air pollution, traffic congestion, and crime.

Bangalore is called the Silicon Valley of India because of the large number of Information Technology companies located in the city which form the largest contributors to India's US$ 12.2 billion (Rs. 54,000 crore) IT and software export market.[29] Bangalore's IT industry is divided into three main "clusters" — Software Technology Parks of India, Bangalore (STPI); International Technology Park Ltd. (ITPL); and Electronics City. Infosys and Wipro, India's 2nd and 3rd largest software companies, are headquartered in Electronics City. As headquarters to 38% of global SEI-CMM Level 5 Companies, Bangalore's place in the global IT map is prominent.[30] The growth of Information Technology has presented the city with unique challenges.
