though chances are near zero, but if somehow INDIA alliance forms the government, this will be the biggest clutch moment in the history of indian politics.  
  
 and potentially downfall for indian infrastructure and growth.

It is a downfall, people celebrating democracy do not understand Indian system

Their alliance will bleed to death in a single month fighting for portfolios and positions. Nothing to be afraid of.😂

How are Lucknow and Patna getting connected to Delhi?

How are Lucknow and Patna getting connected to Delhi?- Grapevine

I was wondering if Uttar Pradesh can be the next Bangalore. It has everything. It has a large population which is decently literate. It has IIT Kanpur, IIT BHU, NIT ALLAHABAD and other deemed universities. It has good connectivity to Delhi with Expressways and Highways. Crime is significantly down. It has the largest Airport coming in India Jewar International Airport. It has cities like Noida which already is an IT hub. 

I believe cities like Lucknow and Kanpur can be the next hub of investment and employment opportunities in India. They have their own metro projects for city commute and for long distance travel we have RRTS service that is a work in progress. To top it all Alcohol is not banned here unlike Gujarat.

I think with the right planning Uttar Pradesh can have several Bangalore-like tech hubs. What are your thoughts on this?

Can UP have the next Bangalore?

I am planning to settle down in one particular city in the next  3 to 5 years. I am currently evaluating Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune. 
From long term perspective ( for next 20 to 30 years) Which city will offer better job prospects ( IT/Software Development/Product Management/Strategy related jobs) along with a decent life style supported by satisfactory amenities like  Gated housing options which are not super expensive, Good schooling options for kids, Decent commuting facilities like Metro, wide roads etc. 
Interested to hear feedback from folks who went through or going through this dilemma.

Bangalore vs Hyderabad vs Pune: For next 20-30 years, which city offers better prospects for Settling down

Product Manager

Came to blr for the first time. And I was greeted with traffic jam. Blr is so far behind on basic city infrastructure. Imo even Kolkata has better roadways and connectivity. 
But the Bengaluri metro is impressive.

(Also why is the airport outside the city?)

Opinions on regions in India for work

From the past few months I'm seeing news of all the big projects of National interest being parked in Gujrat. Be it GIFT City, DREAM City, Chip Manufacturing facility by Tata, 2036 Olymics stadium, 2 new smart cities, center for AI excellence, Cholera Solar Park, Bullet Train stations, etc?
I'm happy for all the work happening but it seems unfair that all great projects are happening in Gujrat. 

If trade is a reason, there are other states as well in western coast like Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala.

I'm not trying to make it political, but I feel it is. 
If it's not political please give your reasoning. I want to be wrong on this.

Why is everything being built in Gujrat?

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

It's been close to a year since I am earning a salary and this is what I do:
1. Invest a little less than 30% straight into MFs. I have three ongoing SIPs- small cap, flexicap and a Large + Midcap fund. (Planning to increase the amount further into these and not start a new sip)

2. Max out 80C by putting the entire limit in PPF, this is on top of what is by default deposited into EPF.

3. A little (inconsistently) into direct stocks as and when I find or get to know about a decent trade opportunity.

4. An LIC ULIP plan that my father made me subscribe to 🙂 (hopefully will end in a couple more years)

Tips from experienced folks will be much appreciated.😄

Delhi Commuters Can Now Buy DTC Bus Tickets Online via ONDC

I work as a project manager for an international company. They’re planning to put an office in Delhi in the next 2-3 months. Currently I work fully remote, they’re hinting at me going on-site in Delhi cause they want me to take up a leadership position. 

I am born and brought up in Mumbai, living in Bangalore for about 2 years. I absolutely love Bangalore and I’m not that keen on moving. 

Is there someone who’s moved to Delhi? How’s the experience been for you? What can I expect?

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I have spent most of my working life (about 17 years) in Pune barring a few years outside India for an onsite assignment.

During the initial phase of my career I was always desperate to relocate to NCR which is close to my hometown, say 12 hrs by train or road, unlike 24-36 hrs from Pune.

However I feel a bit confused now about it. I am not sure how easy/difficult and stupid/wise it would be to make a move now. 

Any suggestions feedback?

Strategy & operations

Came to Bangalore to join an in-office role, the org and role is good. 

But coming from Gurgaon, I was not able to like the city. 

Some cons: 

- Extremely poor infrastructure like a tier 2 city 
- Every govt official is corrupt, police can harass you anywhere 
- You neither feel homely nor is there any vibe of a cosmopolitan city. Local politics will not let this city become a cosmopolitan startup hub. Gurgaon is so so much better. 

- Everyone just wants to loot money, everything is expensive. Rent is high, landlord deducting 1 month extra rent, unnecessarily high security amount, cook and maid everything is so effin’ expensive 

- Alcohol is expensive. 

- Good food is expensive 

The value of money is lesser here as compared to the rest of the country. 

I have a flight tonight and I am so happy that it’s a one way flight. 

I don’t mean to offend anyone, but bangalore can be very lonely and it has been so for many of my friends. 

Particularly ease of life is much higher in NCR and that’s why a lot of people move back. Those who feel otherwise haven’t lived in NCR so Bangalore is more of just a bubble for them. 

Adios!

Any UX designer openings in Lucknow....please ping here...I have two years of experience.

Lucknow Connections !!!

UX/UI designer

Hello, I am 25 year old right now and I had started planning to buy a house  the reason is currently I live in village (located in Bihar) the problem is communication with this village is not very great so going any big city like Bangalore(via plane), Delhi (via train) from my home takes at least 24 hours because of break journey. No good hospitals in radius of 100 KM ( there are hospitals in range of 20-25 km but those are not so great no emergency services and government hospitals are useless). 
So am I planning too early? 
How much should I make to fulfill my dream in next 2-3 years ? 
What location should I choose? Patna or any tier 1 city like Bangalore/Hyderabad/pune/Gurgaon ? Patna is well connected to all other cities and having good basic facilities. But my job mostly will be in big cities (currently doing wfh).

If anyone is real estate expert here can you please tell how much amount required to own a house like in tier 1, tier 2 or tier 3 cities. You can tell me the range.

Ps- just thinking to own a small house of 2-3 rooms don’t want to buy apartments.

House buying plan

There has been diversions/blocking and seems like no way towards Gurgaon
What way to take?
