4. What makes brand Bengaluru “hot”?
The forever buzzing and youthful vibe makes this city unique. Bangalore embraces one and all; the expats, migrants, people from other cities and of course those who belong here. Not to mention, the weather of this city is salubrious and affable for most part of the year. Not to forget, it wears the silicon-valley crown and contributes to around 35% of India’s IT exports which makes it a hub for biotechnology.
Bangalore is charming. It is still a lot greener than other cities and bears a very cosmopolitan outlook. I satiate my senses with the sights and sounds of Bangalore and to the smell of rich Udupi filter coffee, that filters out all that needs to, making Bangalore India’s most livable and “Hot” city.
