<aside> 🌸 About Bengaluru
Bengaluru, once a hub for retirees, is now regarded as the Silicon Valley of India — having served as a home ground for the nation’s booming IT sector in the early 2000s. Since then, the city has only grown leaps and bounds in attracting the top tech talent countrywide, and is now home to over 13,000 startups. While your trip to the city is a guaranteed shot at meeting smart folks doing cool things at the event, Bengaluru has much to offer beyond this :) Whether you’re a foodie, a music enthusiast, or a connoisseur of fine craft beers — we’ve got you covered. Oh, and did we mention the phenomenal weather.
