Bengaluru is credited with highly reputed R&D centers in the field of core engineering, information technology, basic and applied sciences, medical sciences, commerce, aerospace etc. With its strong intellectual capital base, Bengaluru provides a stimulating learning environment for faculty and students in institutions of higher learning. Professional competency and skills are nurtured through collaborative learning with the many different types of industries and organizations in the city. How to reach Bengaluru By AIR Bengaluru is extremely well-connected by regular flights from Delhi, Mumbai and most other important cities in India and also has international carriers flowing in and out of Kempegowda International Airport, which is located about 40 kilometres from the main city. A taxi from the airport would take about 45 minutes to reach the city. By TRAIN Bengaluru has two important railway stations - Bengaluru City Railway Station and Yeswantpur Junction. Both railway stations have regular trains running from Delhi, Mumbai, Pune and other major cities. For travelling within Bengaluru, there is Namma Metro (with limited connectivity), which is an intra-city rail network set up by the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation. By BUS Bangalore is well-connected by a network of buses from cities like Goa, Mumbai, Pune, Coimbatore and Mangalore. The options range from regular buses to air-conditioned, Volvo and sleeper coaches. While some of the buses are run by Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation, there are also a number of private bus operators who run inter-city buses to and from Bangalore. Accommodation Sl.

But around the mid 990s, things started changing. Wealth began to spread, opening up fresh markets. A baby-boomer generation aged in developed countries while a Gen-Y exploded in emerging ones, rebalancing the workforce and propelling new economies. Technology became ubiquitous, connecting people and information. Together, these disruptive forces rearranged and leveled the global business-scape.
