India replaces tough China as next big frontier for US tech companies
Visiting Prime Minister Modi wants Silicon Valley to help India become an Internet powerhouse
Bengaluru
US technology companies desperately want to win over people like Rakesh Padachuri and his family.
Mr Padachuri, who runs a construction business in this city, the centre of India's technology industry, uses his smartphone to reserve movie seats through BookMyShow and to order pizzas from Domino's. His wife, Vasavi, orders clothes from Myntra and Amazon.com, and downloads videos and games from YouTube and the Google Play store to entertain their four-year-old daughter. His sister- in-law, Sonika, enjoys posting selfies on Facebook and follows the YouTube musings of Lilly Singh, an Indo-Canadian comedian.
