Why is silicon valley called silicon valley?

Computers used to be huge machines that took up an entire room or even floor of a building. This was because they were filled with thousands of vacuum tubes which were about the size of a light bulb. Eventually the tube was replaced by the transistor, which was smaller. Engineers were able to shrink down the transistor more and more over time. By the 1970s, transistors were so small that they could fit thousands of them on a silicon microchip, and this is what allowed the creation of the first "personal computer", which is what gave rise to the computer industry as we know it. The company that created the first silicon microchip was Intel, located in what came to be known as Silicon Valley.

Why is Bengaluru called the Silicon Valley of India?

Bangalore has been the IT capital of India since the late 1980s. In many ways, the culture, climate and progressive nature of entrepreneurs of Bangalore are conducive to innovative business, much like the San Francisco Bay Area, specifically Santa Clara and San Jose. This region of California is known as Silcon Valley owing to the predominance of semiconductor manufacturers, which paved the way to the high-tech and IT dominance of the area. Bangalore has been likened to this region and is hence known as the Silicon Valley of India. I also suspect it has something to do with the geography - Bangalore is actually on a plateau, but is also somewhat nestled between some mountainous regions, lending veracity to the 'Valley' part of its moniker.
