Bengaluru,Industrial Centre

Bengaluru has turned out to be a major industrial hub with many electronics and electrical goods  manufacturing units . it houses industries like indian telephone  industries [ITI], bharat electronics  ltd [bel] and  hindustan machine tools [HMT] . Indias first aircraft manufacturing industry,aironautics ltd [HAL] was also  set up here. Today , Bengaluru has earned the title of electronics capital of india  which is rightly due to the giant strides made in the field of information technology .Just as silicon valley of usa  grew up  around San Francisco, similarity , Silicon Valley at Bengaluru grew up to be a computer centric electronic industrial hub. Growth of this  industry further  in pune  and hyderabad has resulted in the formation of the silicon triangle


Evolution of IT In Bengaluru

The IT  industry achived a major breakthrough in the 1990s. between 1991 and 1996, india's software sector expanded almost twice as fast as the world's leading US  Software industry did during  the same period. it was in 1984 that the Texas Instruments entered india for  offshore  development .in 1991, Software technology  park  was set up in Bengaluru  By 1992, the exclusive Satellite international gateway  for export industry was set up.IT companies ,both  international  and national, grew up  from 253 in 1998 to1,154 in 2003. the export market grew up by leaps and bounds. Leading software  and service exporters like Tata Consultancy Services , Infosys  Technologies , Wipro Technologies ,Satyam Computer Services, HCL ,etc ., contributed  largely to the national income due to increase in exports in 2002.This  industry also generated employment  opportunities initially.

Seeing the rapid development of it  industry in  Bengaluru some hundreds of multinational companies also opened their offices personal computer and hardware vendors like digital compaq,hewlett packard  microsoft ibm set up their trade offices in Bengaluru. 

today Bengaluru has carved a niche for itself in ic[intergrated circuit]] designing. as far as hardware is concerned, bengaluru has ranked first in the country . its strength lies in ic designing and integration of  computers rather than manufacture of components.

Factors for development
So far , very few industries in india have been able to earn as much foreign exchange as the it industry . let us now study the  favourable factors that have led to the glorious success of this industry. 


  • Readily available world class it infrastucture. 

  • Pleasent and comfortable climatic  conditions

  •  Indian institute of information technology is set  up here to create a pool of technically literate  individuals  for its growing industry 

  • High concentration of it companies and quality research  and development  institutions. 

  • Many global buyers  sellers  silicon meet held for innovations to come up.

  • Progressive government policies . 

  • Centre for international conferences and workshops .

  • Cosmopolitan enviroment in the city . 

              Bengaluru has become the most important software and hardware centre of india and rightly won the reputation of being the Information technology capital of india it has also earned the repute of being the fourth best global hub of technological innovations by the united nations. However it has recently faced deterioration due to slump in the it software industry resulting from global recession.
