Fourth Industrial Revolution

Bengaluru (also known as Bangalore) is the city with the youngest start-up founders in the world, according to the Global Startup Ecosystem Ranking 2015.

On average, a founder in the Indian city is between 28 and 29 years old – a full eight years younger than in Silicon Valley, where the average age is 36. The oldest city of the 21 surveyed was Sydney, with an average start-up founder age of 40.

Here’s a list of the top 10 cities for young entrepreneurs.
