Exploring the World
Bangalore
​
This city goes by the name of the Silicon Valley of India.
​
Its very recent development has been permitted by strong incentives and policies fostering the establishment of IT companies in the city. And once the talents converged to the city, it has become the favorite place for entrepreneurs to establish their teams. Moreover, when you think about the living conditions, Bangalore is known for its very confortable temperatures.
People there are really tech-savvy, no surprise that all the major High-Tech leaders have established a branch there. Perhaps though, talented salesmen are missing to help the development of successful businesses...
​
On the other side, the city is also sadly famous for its traffic jam. Some are even arguing that the average driving speed will drop to 2 km/h, in the coming future... A real opportunity to bring disruptive solutions to tackle the mobility challenge.
