Union Minister Piyush Goyal has proposed the creation of a new Silicon Valley in India dedicated to entrepreneurs, startups, innovators, and disruptors. This proposal has sparked a strong reaction from Karnataka officials, including Minister Priyank Kharge and MB Patil, who emphasized that Bengaluru is already a significant tech hub. Kharge criticized the idea, stating that Bengaluru should be recognized for its own ecosystem rather than being compared to Silicon Valley. He also highlighted the ongoing efforts in Karnataka to support the space sector, startups, and SMEs through policy development and industry engagement. The Bangalore Space Expo's 8th edition has seen a high turnout, reflecting growing interest in space and deep space industries. Kharge also mentioned that Piyush Goyal is welcome to try replicating Bangalore as the Gujarat model doesn’t seem to be working.
