Bangalore, India is the ‘Silicone Valley’ of the east. As a result of increasing globalization and a transition of power to the east, many IT companies have relocated their headquarters to Bangalore over the past twenty-five years. The development of these companies over the past few decades has created a hegemonic capitalist society in Bangalore. The current urban development of the city has resulted in a very divided space which the capitalist elite control. The IT industry has risen above all other private sectors and has recast the global image of the city. Information technology is therefore responsible for the pervasive ideology in Bangalore of ‘success’. Bangalore has grown substantially in the past 50 years as a city. Following India’s economic independence in the 1990s, the city ballooned as a result of software creation. Population figures illustrate this substantial growth effect; in 1985 the population was 3.4 million; 5.2 million in 2005; 6 million inhabitants in 2011; 6.6 million in 2021; 7.1 million in 2031; and researchers estimate that the population will reach 7.6 million people by 2041. Presently in 2036, More than half of the global population resides in urban spaces, and more than half of the world’s global cities are on the Asian continent. This development marks a substantial shift from earlier generations of Western dominance.
