The Tally Story
A Pre-AtmaNirbhar Tale
Speakers
Bengaluru Tech Galli presents the second event in its series featuring Bangalore’s Tech Veterans, which intends to provide an interesting sharing platform for talks, events and video interviews – to showcase and tell the stories of the technology entrepreneurs in Bangalore during the late 1970’s and 1980’s. A period during which intrepid entrepreneurs exhibited enormous zeal and energy, who sweated it out in a very unfavorable business climate and regulatory environment – to create the pathways and rails on which the IT sector was built by the next generation.
And amidst all this success and glory, one factor that needs to be pulled back from the archives. And that is the pioneering work and trail blazing done by an earlier generation of tech entrepreneurs and talented engineers like Bharat Goenka, that set the stage for the enormous transformation that we now experience and witness.
