<!-- Abstract -->
The recent global crisis in information technology (IT)
        industries evokes questions how dependent IT agglomerations in less developed
        countries get affected. Before, leading companies of the industrialised
        world increasingly outsourced low value adding IT work to locations that
        offer low cost qualified labour. This opened development opportunities,
        for instance, to regions in Asia, which might now particularly suffer
        from the recession. Which impact has the recent IT downturn on these localities,
        and which (regional) factors determine whether it is negative or positive?
        It can be shown that regionally embedded processes of learning and collaboration,
        in connection with cost reductions in the industry, form the basis of
        Bangalore&#8217;s ability to gain from the crisis. Key words: Information
        technology industries, software services, outsourcing, less developed
        countries, regional development, India
