Bangalore, the capital of the Indian state of Karnataka, is India's
third most populous city and home to many well-recognized colleges and
research institutions in India. Bangalore is known as the Silicon
Valley of India because of its position as the major center of India's
IT industry. A demographically diverse city, Bangalore is a major
economic and cultural hub and the second fastest growing major
metropolis in India. Unlike other parts of India which are extremely
hot in the summer months, Bangalore enjoys a relatively mild climate
year round.
