India's silicon valley 'living the dream'

In the world of technology, India is still regarded as a global leader as Indian firms are among the top IT service businesses.

Silicon Valley of India has always been Bengaluru. In recent times, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, and Delhi-NCR region are all giving tough competition to Bengaluru but Bengaluru is still miles ahead of all of them. Already people have given some answers which typically describes why Bengaluru is the Silicon Valley of India.

Bangalore is known as the Silicon Valley of India and the IT Capital of India. It is considered to be a global information technology hub and largest software exports from India are done through Bangalore. Some of the top Indian IT service providers like Infosys, Wipro, Mindtree and Mphasis are headquartered in Bangalore. It is also the country headquarters to many top firms like Intel, Texas Instruments, Bosch, Yahoo, SAP Labs, Continental among others. Bangalore alone consists of more than 35% of all the IT companies present in India and contains close to 5000 companies, making it the largest IT contributor in India.

The IT industry in Bengaluru has not only put the city on the world map but has also made Karnataka the top job creator in India by generating about the 24% of the job opportunities in the country. Information technology (IT) sector created about 57 per cent of about nine lakh job openings recorded between January-March, 2016. Within Karnataka, ITEs accounted for over 65 per cent share in job openings. Karnataka had recorded 2.16 lakh job openings in the first quarter of the last fiscal followed by Maharashtra (two lakh), Tamil Nadu (93,000), Andhra Pradesh and Telangana region combined (82,000) and Haryana (72,000).

Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, and Delhi-NCR region also have numerous IT companies and are competing with Bengaluru very well but Bengaluru alone still accounts for 35% of all IT related stuff. Personally, I believe that this competition is very good because it would really help in the development of all these cities, which definitely benefit all of us, Indians in general.

Scientists Build Super-Maglev Train that could hit 1,800 mph A team lead by Dr Deng Zigang at Southwest Jiaotong University in China have built a maglev train with the potential to reach 1,800 mph (2,900 km/h). Scientists at Southwest Jiaotong University in China have reportedly built a maglev train that could reach 1,800 mph (2,900 km/h). According to The Daily Mail, a vacuum is used to minimize air resistance. Project lead Dr Deng Zigang claims it could be used for military or space launch systems. Maglev trains use electromagnetism to lift the train off a track and to provide propulsion. By removing the need for contact with a surface via wheels, friction is substantially reduced and speed can be increased. They are also smoother to ride than surface-supported alternatives and are less affected by the weather. The current fastest passenger-carrying maglev train can travel at up to 268 mph (431 km/h) and once reached 311 mph (501 km/h) in pre-launch tests. The Shang...

Health wearables have their share of disadvantages as well https://www.facebook.com/sourceoffuturist/ Dr Sunil Mittal, a Delhi-based senior consultant psychiatrist, recently saw a young professional in his 30s. He was psychically healthy, but had grave concern about his rising heart rate.He obsessively checked numbers on his health tracker and felt restless if the number of steps taken didn't get him the desired digits on the gadget. He was diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder, with his thoughts preoccupied with health anxiety. Recently, a colleague gave up his fitness band after it started showing that his sleep quality was abysmal - every day. "I began getting a bit worried because I used to feel fairly well-rested in the morning, but my tracker told me otherwise," he says.  WHEN DAYS ARE NUMBERED We humans love stats. In a world where news is being broken down to numbers, your wristband is now your own personal health infographic. While these de...
