However, the last decade has brought in a sea change with the entry of Information technology and the Internet, which has resulted in some of the above mentioned public sector engineering companies going into the red. Bangalore's rapid industrial rise began in early 1980's. Fleeing the crippling costs of Mumbai and Delhi, a clutch of hi-tech Indian companies relocated here. The cool climate and an untapped pool of highly skilled, English speaking labour, a consequence of the Indian government's decision to concentrate its telecommunications and defense research here in the 1960's lured the multinationals to this city. Within a decade, Bangalore had become a major player in the software market and a magnet for the multinationals such as Motorola and Texas Instruments, who have their own satellite link with head office in Dallas. As such Bangalore emerged as the leader of Information Technology with the entry of numerous multinational software companies. The stars among them are our own Bangalore based companies which are now known worldwide for their world class software products. These two are the Infosys Technologies, headed by Narayana Murthy and Nandan Nilikeni, and WIPRO, headed by Ajim Premji. The majority of the employees are all products of the universities and colleges of Bangalore.
