I love how they all have American names when you call. I like to ask if that’s a southern accent I detect.

I had ‘Peter Parker’ on the line one time I called. I said, “Spiderman!” and asked him where he was. He said, “Austin” and I laughed. I said, “No you’re not, you’re in Bombay”. He replied, “No, New Delhi”. Seriously.

Might have been. Bangalore, one of their high tech centers is in the south of the country. Even Bombay/Mumbai is south of the center.

Of course they not only have regional accents and dialects, they have regional languages. Although the educated folks will usually speak at least 3 languages, their regional one, Hindi and English.
