...engineers are leading a boom that has made it Asia's fastest-growing city and India's answer to the Silicon Valley. Business leaders told us this success depended on deregulation, investment in human capital and internationalization--like the daily video conferences between some Bangalore firms and their corporate brethren in the U.S. Our visit to a slum vividly demonstrated how unevenly the benefits of growth are distributed, but India's dynamic Commerce Minister, P.
