Bangalore, the capital city of Karnataka is known as the IT City or the Silicon Valley of India. It is also among the top 10 preferred entrepreneurial locations in the world. The IT industry has made this a demographically diverse city due to its role as India's leading Information Technology exporter. 

Educational institutions in Bangalore are widely known for their high standards in comparison to many other states in the country. The ever-expanding IT industry has created a growing expat population and a large number of U.S. citizens of Indian origins are looking at the U.S. as a higher education destination for their children. This has given rise to a multitude of quality international schools in the city. 

Over the past decade, a longstanding boom in Bangalore, driven by global tech giants, began spreading to Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities and towns of Karnataka. Karnataka grew from 16th to become India's third richest state by per capita income and Karnataka's average income doubled in the 2010s to $3800!
