Bangalore: The Co-Founder of Apple, Steve Wozniak is reportedly in a private visit to India this week. The Economic Times report says Wozniak will be lodging at Bangalore, the technology capital of India from December 1-4. The details of the visit are kept very confidential.

Wozniak is invited to address the meet of world top executives conducted by Young Presidents’ Organization on Saturday morning, reveals the article.  The tech magician, Steve Wozniak will have a discussion with hundreds of CEOs on the topic ‘innovation and technology’.

The event is kept as a closely guarded secret as Wozniak wants it in that way. His one-time partner Steve Jobs who died on last October 5, made a visit to India in 1974 while wandering for a spiritual consolation.  Steve Jobs was in India almost for seven months and soon after the trip, he invested for Apple with Wozniak.

His visit to India is buzzed on social network sites like Twitter and Facebook and Indian tech world and Apple fans are amused by the news. Since the 1980s, Wozniak does not have an active role in Apple but has been playing a vital role in Fusion-io as the Chief Scientist. Fusion-io is a computer hardware and software systems company. Steve Wozniak has also founded two other companies named ‘Wheels of Zeus’ and ‘Acquicor Technology.’

Apple made the history by producing user-friendly computers for ordinary users while the first generation computers invented for complex mathematical calculations and for military purposes. It was Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak who made more accessible computers and made Apple as the worlds’ key tech company.
