Question

which place in India is called the silicon by no
valley of India and why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Bengaluru is located on top of the Mysuru Plateau. It emerged as the IT hub in the 1980s and quickly became the leader in IT industry in India. In the United States, Silicon Valley is the major hub for IT companies. Since Bengaluru is the major hub for IT companies, it became known as the Silicon Valley of India.

Bengaluru accounts for about 30–40% of the IT exports from India which is the largest for any city in the country. Two of India’s largest IT firms, Infosys and Wipro are headquartered over here.

As a result, Bengaluru had already emerged as the leader as far as IT is concerned in 1980s itself and it has maintained its position even today, after more than 30 years. So, Bengaluru is aptly called as the Silicon Valley of India. However, the term Silicon Plateau is more apt since Bengaluru is located on a plateau and this is the argument put forward by the likes of Shashi Tharoor. Whether you call it Silicon Valley or Silicon Plateau, the fact of the matter is Bengaluru is the leader in India with respect to the IT industry.
