TOI article - Startups rise and shine in Bangalore ...

This is a good read for any of the prospective R2Is, who are thinking of coming to Bangalore and doing their own start-up.

I couldn't agree more on this line in the article: "Mukund Mohan, CEO in-residence at Microsoft Ventures - The city attracts good talent because of great weather, job options, and a cosmopolitan and welcoming culture."

I have heard lot about 'outsiders taking over Bangalore'. But, as the article says, that only does good to the place. As US has proven, it gains top talent by welcoming others to come over and by providing an environment to thrive and in-turn thrives itself. Sure, Bangalore has ways to go in providing the right environment, infrastructure but just having the talent pool here creates an ecosystem around that which is beneficial to the local populace as well.
