Start-Ups Head Out of #Bengaluru?: Good Bye #silkboard Traffic, Hello Silicon Beach Mangalore :) ;-)

Blog, tonse startup lessons
[embed]https://youtube.com/shorts/MGRHnsR9deg[/embed] #bengaluru has long been the darling of #IT services and software industry in this part of the world. So much has been its invincible power that over 45% of all venture capital that came into India in 2022, poured into Bengaluru (about $32 billion out of $65 billion). The success perhaps has overwhelmed the city officials too as the miserable governance has brought the city to its knees. But now you have a new alternative: Mangalore IT cluster (Silicon Beach of India is the name of this region). The belt has over 125 tech companies generating over $375 mil in annual revenue, with startups from tech, gaming, and fintech, SaaS in plenty. Recent successes such as #99games ( @ninetyninegames  of Rohith Bhat) and several others are an endorsement of the…

Blog
This is not a brand new post but I am reposting from my Anchor podcast after 8 months for a reason. Take a look at how the market played out so far. The big bucks that @Jio, #jioplatforms, spent as well as #airtel, on 5G spectrum acquisition was for a reason. Now, 8 months on, deployments are well underway. Both #jio and #airtel are halfway across the country and as planned both will likely be pan-India 5G networks by Dec 2023. A pretty darn good speed of coverage for a massive country of this size. And they didn't bother too much about Private 5G since that piece was (and still is) under the regulatory radar. Adani did not bother too much and made his call on the parts he wanted.…
