"Destination Bangalore is an entertaining and educational look into some of the difficult questions that India faces as its economy liberalizes and becomes more globally integrated. My students, many of whom have never been to India, have benefited from the balanced and "on the ground" perspective of the film. The issues that it raises encourage classroom discussion on such issues as globalization, modernity, and development."

"Destination: Bangalore was very well made. I really liked the style -
in that there was no narration from the filmmaker and the main story is woven by
the stories of different people in different places facing different realities. I teach the political economy of international trade at Monash University in
Melbourne and one of the topics we cover is the WTO's GATS Agreement which is on
services. We like to explore the many sides of GATS, particularly the cultural
dimensions of the liberalisation of services. So the video will really help the
students to relate the same issues that you covered, to the siutation in their
countries."

"Destination: Bangalore is an exceptionally valuable instructional tool for any college course in the humanities, business or social sciences. The film provides an honest, objective, first-hand account of the economic and social consequences of the burgeoning “global marketplace.” As a professor of communication I particularly appreciate the real-life demonstration of contemporary issues related to communicating outside of one’s culture."
