India's Silicon Valley where tech innovation meets craft beer culture
Bengaluru (formerly Bangalore) is India's tech capital, home to the country's largest concentration of startups, global R&D centers, and IT campuses. But beyond the office parks, the city sits at 920 meters elevation, giving it year-round pleasant weather (15-35C) that earned it the nickname "Garden City." The craft beer scene is India's best (50+ microbreweries), the coffee culture rivals Portland, and weekend drives to Coorg (260 km) or Mysore (150 km) are a local tradition.
