TechAltar — 3 weeks in India’s tech capital

Bangalore, or Bengaluru is the Silicon Valley of India. It is the startup capital, full of tech companies. I visited a few of them like Ultraviolette and Even Hospitals, I rode every metro and bus, tried every app, etc. The Story Behind

@Techaltar were you there during the strike?

@Techaltar 02:38 into the video made me laugh; you complain about trains running every 10 minutes. "That's just not great"

Honestly, I am fine with that. I grew up in Manchester where there was ONE TRAIN and ONE BUS per HOUR from my suburban town to the city center.

And now in Oslo trams run every 10 minutes and airport trains every 10 minutes and it's perfectly fine.

imo, 10 mins is not a long wait for the next train.

@matt @Techaltar

@Techaltar

The indian auto brands DO NOT licence their designs from western countries.

They employ the design houses out of Italy and UK for design consultancy. Not tata, they just own Landrover/Jaguar.

The one that is in question, Mahindra Roxx, is from the lineage of the original WW2 Jeep design. They were manufactured until 1990s because of popularity. Toyota Landcruiser also hails from this lineage.

They had to change the Mahindra Roxx front grill when they were selling them in the US.
