Information Technology (IT): the information technology industry deals in the storage, processing and distribution of information. Today, this industry has become global.

The major hubs of the IT industry are the Silicon Valley, California and Bangalore, India.

Bangalore is located on the Deccan plateau from where it gets the name ‘silicon plateau’. The city is known for its mild climate throughout the year. Silicon Valley is a part of Santa Clara valley, located next to the rocky mountains of North America. The area has temperate climate with the temperatures rarely dropping below 0 degrees centigrade. There are other emerging information technology hubs in metropolitan centers of India such as Mumbai, New Delhi, Hyderabad and Chennai.
