"San Francisco is about the same size as my hometown, Chandigarh," Pritika Mehta tells Hindustan Times.

"But this small city has changed the world....

The kind of conversations that happen here, the innovation in the air, the investments in bold ideas and unknown foundersno other city offers it."

That's why Mehta, who holds a Master's in Artificial Intelligence from the State University of New York, is so impressed with the Bay Area's startup scene.
