Whether it is Bengal or Bangalore, your startup success is dependant on the skills and qualities of the people you have onboard. That is your founding team. Bengal is as potent as anywhere. You need a phone, laptop and data/wifi connection to get started. The problem is the mindset and the lack of examples who can inspire the next generation to succeed.
Someone has to deal with this problem, so we as Kolkata Ventures have been putting our effort into transforming Bengal into the Silicon Valley of India for the past 3 years. We are late in the game but we also have the opportunity to learn from the mistakes of Startup America & Startup India and do better than that. Thus 400 revenue generating startups from East India is not a bad start.
