Object from The Future: India Silicon Valley
New
what is new about this object, what makes it different?
It is now the era of the knowledge society, and the Manchester of the industrial era has come to be replaced by the Silicon Valley. The 1500 sq. km. area of enterprise in California that came to be known as the Silicon Valley has become the gold standard for several international cities. Bangalore acquired the title well ahead of the others and as the author, James Heitzman, notes in his book, it is recognised as India's Silicon Valley even by those who live in the "original" in the U.S.
India's well-educated, English-speaking talent pool gives the region a competitive advantage over China and other Asian competitors, Khan said. "I know China has a way of getting things done," he said. "But when you talk about education and a talent base, that takes much longer to create."
