Singapore has played a crucial role in positioning Bengaluru as a global technology hub over the last 30 years, according to a senior official from the Karnataka government.

Ekroop Caur, Secretary to Government of Karnataka, emphasized the deep-seated association between the two regions, which began with the tech revolution in Bengaluru three decades ago.
