Bengaluru is India's technology capital - the base of its IT-services giants, hundreds of global capability centres, and the country's densest startup ecosystem, spread across Electronic City, Whitefield and the Outer Ring Road. The city also carries a long public-sector engineering heritage through institutions like HAL and ISRO. Its salaried tech workforce is one of India's most active groups of first-time equity investors.
