Bangalore, dubbed the ‘Silicon Valley of India,’ is the de facto leader of the country’s IT sector. With more than a dozen IT parks, a rich startup ecosystem and thousands of IT firms, the city is responsible for roughly 40 percent of India’s total IT exports.
It also employs the most industry professionals in the country, at about 4.8 million workers. And, as the $110 billion sector expands, this number is expected to double over the next few years.
Thanks to its many special economic zones, Bangalore-based companies enjoy hefty tax relaxations and financial incentives, which may be why 80 percent of all global IT offices — including the following companies — call it home.
