Anand Mahindra objects to Bengaluru being called 'Silicon Valley of India'

Anand Mahindra, the chairman of Indian business conglomerate Mahindra Group, on Tuesday, said he’s not "thrilled" by Bengaluru being called the ‘Silicon Valley of India’, as it’s too “derivative” and “wannabe”, he wrote in a tweet. 

Mahindra was reacting to the launch of a non-stop flight between Bengaluru and San Francisco, the latter home to the Silicon Valley where many startups and global tech companies have their headquarters.
