4. Bangalore is located on top of the Mysore
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 Bangalore is the
major hub for IT companies, it became known as
the Silicon Valley of India. The term was first
used in the 1980s when the push for transforming
Bangalore into an IT hub was made under the
leadership of the visionary RK Baliga who came
up with the concept of Electronic City.

5. Bengaluru is locted on the Deccan
Plateau from where it gets the name
`Silicon Plateau’.
The city is known for mild climate
throughout the year.
The region of modern day Bangalore
was part of several successive South
Indian kingdoms. ... The higher
altitude, gives Bangalore a moderate
climate through out the year. In 1898,
Jamsetji Tata, built the foundation for
progressive education in the country.

6. Silicon Valley is a region in the southern part of
the San Francisco Bay Area in Northern California
that serves as a global centre for high technology,
innovation and social media. It corresponds
roughly to the geographical Santa Clara Valley,
although its boundaries have increased in recent
decades.
The biggest tech park in Bangalore is MANYATA
tech park.

7. Silicon Valley, in the southern San Francisco Bay
Area of California, is home to many start-up and
global technology companies. Apple, Facebook and
Google are among is the most prominent. It’s also
the site of technology-focused institutions centered
around Pal Alto's Standford University. The
Computer History Museum and NASA’s Ames
Research Center are in Mountain View. The Tech
Museum of Innovation is in San Jose.

8. Silicon Valley is the U.S. center for innovative
technology companies. It's located south of San
Francisco, California. It's home to 2,000 tech
companies, the densest concentration in the world.
This proximity to suppliers, customers, and cutting-
edge research gives each a competitive advantage.
In terms of stock exchanges, calling London the
world's financial capital looks ludicrous. The
London Stock Exchange isn't even the second-
largest stock exchange in the world after the New
York Stock Exchange.

9. The companies in Silicon Valley –
Apple. Apple is one of the most successful
companies in the entire world .
Google.
Face book.
Wells Fargo.
Visa.
Chevron.
Etc.................

10. The transistor was invented and
manufactured in Silicon Valley, which gave
the area a leg up in the radio and telegraph
industries. And the Navy had a base in
Sunnyvale. By 1957, Russia's success with
Sputnik unleashed a big space competition,
and the U.S. government founded NASA.

11. It was the first company to make
transistors out of silicon and not
germanium. The company was
founded in Mountain View,
California — so Shockley could be
closer to his sick mother. Shockley's
company employed many recent
grads of Stanford.

12. It refers to lose one’s job to someone
in the city of Bengaluru. A few years
ago many IT jobs in USA were
outsourced to countries like India
where equally skilled labour was
available at lower salaries.
