Today, anywhere between 10% and 20% of technology startups in the Bay Area have Indian founders, according to Silicon Valley observers.
While Microsoft and Adobe Systems have Indian chief executives, companies such as Googleand WhatsApp have Indian-origin engineers in top positions. Encouraged by the recent burgeoning of India's e-commerce and internet industry, many Valley investors are now extending their ties to cities such as Bangalore, Pune and Gurgaon in search of the next big idea.
