People who moved out of Bangalore, which city did you move to ?

Bangalore's infra has been crumbling under the weight of its population growth. I believe that yesterday's traffic jam was just a trailer and situation will only worsen with time. Seriously contemplating moving out of Bangalore after being here for last 5 years. People who moved out, where did you move? And are you happy now with your decision ?

Gurgaon. 5kms gets covered in literally 10mins. I have never been more peaceful and calmer in my life. Also it has some amazing restaurants and relatively decent housing prices.

Sounds good. 👍 Only parameter where Gurgaon might lack a bit is job opportunities. I hope more companies open their offices in ggn.

PUNE✌🏻 much peaceful compared to Bangalore and work culture is way better than my experiences in Bangalore. Festival celebrations are just amazing and no bad experiences since past 1.5 yr Congestion is piling up this city just like BLR, as a lot of tech companies are gearing up for new offices and new tech parks are already under construction - specifically KHARADI area and they say almost 1.5 lac IT jobs will open up in the next 3-4 years. Traffic woes are same,but again depends on the which part you stay - as we have similar deadlock junctions in Pune as well, if compared to BLR.

Metro work has seriously happened very fast I would say though. Once the hinjewadi Baner university line opens up, coverage on most key areas for IT folks becomes solid

Mumbai - true cosmopolitan city Left bangalore 1.5 years back, Mumbai is ❤️❤️ Except buying/renting house, everything else is fairly priced, auto rickshaws run on meter, they don’t quote exorbitantly high rates, 24 hours drinking water supply, overall facilities are good

I'm aware that many tier-2 cities are now coming up from the news. But I'm looking for ground reality through personal experiences of folks who moved to these cities.

Stayed one year in Bangalore, then moved to Hyderabad. And I’m happy with my decision. Sure traffic is also a problem here, but not that big as it is in Bangalore. I mean if you time your travel time right, you can avoid traffic jams. Next if given the chance, Id like to spend some time in Pune as well.

I was in B'lore from 2007 to 2016 before moving to Pune. Pune is 80% similar to B'lore. Better festival celebrations, lesser traffic, but less job opportunities too. I came back to B'lore, 5 months back and I see the traffic is 30-40% more compared to 2016 levels. With wfh in my company, I don't see many issues here, as the biggest cribbing point here is traffic 😂

Traffic has definitely worsened. Rents have skyrocketed as well. Was paying 36k for a 3 bhk in 2018, not same place has 80k rent.

Don't base it on one event. Remember Pune does not have a ring road and won't in near future because of hills. I was once stuck in traffic for 4 hours in Pune. Mumbai - stuck there for 4 hours wet in a AC bus.Been to Hyderabad - very good ring road infra. A certain business district looks nice , airport flyover awesome. But was there for a week can't know more. Live in cities and make a decision if you get opportunity. I chose to stay in Bangalore after 3 years here.

That is called “Financial District”🙂 And Hyderabad has undoubtedly the best infra amongst all. The biggest problem I find here is, there is no scenic, natural place to visit around on weekends.

Indeed! I would happily settle down there, if not for Job opportunities. I wonder why do they have vacant SEZ on outskirts waiting to be occupied. I wonder why is Govt not putting efforts to invite bigger IT companies. I heard one SEZ had shut down…

According to the EASE OF LIVING INDEX: Banglore is the most livable city in India but I have watched some videos from youtubers continously saying that Banglore has destroyed.

Today I watched a youtube video from OpenLetter having title: What destroyed Bengaluru? | Save Bengaluru | Open Letter I have watched other youtube videos also saying that Banglore has a bad infrastructure, it has the shortage of water, it has very high cost of living etc. While I find that for your IT career growth, Banglore is the best place. You have lots of opportunities here. Banglore has more educated people as compared to other IT HUb cities like Gurgaon or Noida (I live in Gurgaon right now). It's true that Banglore has bad traffic situation but are the youtubers exaggerating this or is this really true? Is it true that Banglore has a bad infrastructure as compared to other cities of India? While when I went to Banglore, I found it better than the other cities.

Bangalore problems

Moved to Bangalore a few months back. I've lived in Delhi NCR, Maharashtra, West Bengal, UP, Punjab but Bangalore just doesn't give me homely vibes. Everyone in Bangalore is so busy in hustle that there are very less number of cafes joints around office areas to hang out . People just go to office and come back. Others may enjoy corporate meetings and parties. But there's a limit for me.. Any suggestions on what can I try to explore or do here? Vegetarian+ Non drinking habit is adding on difficulties to already a very limited thing I can do. I

India looks for new Bengalurus as its Silicon Valley goes downhill

"The extent of water surface in Bengaluru during 1973 was 2,324 hectares. Over the last 50 years, due to reckless concretization, the water surface has shrunk considerably. Of the remaining water bodies, 98% of lakes are encroached upon and 90% of them are fed with untreated sewage or industrial effluents. Naturally, this has impacted the recharge of the groundwater table as well," IISc's Prof TV Ramachandra had told TOI.

Bengaluru's severe water crisis and traffic congestion are prompting tech giants to consider relocating from the $245 billion IT hub. The ci...

Water Lays Off Bengaluru

TL;DR Silicon Valley is dry and dying in February. Almost 2cr people live in Bengaluru and outskirts, dependent on kaveri, borewell and tanker water. Kaveri water - Stalin and Sidda are busy in cage fight and at end they will abuse NaMo for this also. Lakes are exploited by corrupt politicians alongwith bbmp, bda and corrupt beaureaucrats. Borewell ain't working as climate change ruined water level due to shift in monsoon rain pattern. Tanker mafia again ready to loot. North India is lucky to have 3 all year river like ganges, indus and brahmaputra. Due to Himalayas glaciers they are all weather rivers Sadly south India has 3 major river like godavari, narmada and kaveri but all are monsoon river. Water was already having 1000 tds and now that water is also unavailable. I will never buy those shitty 1cr houses at Bangalore or even land due to this water crisis. What do u think Bengaluru lovers or haters?

Bengaluru: Bengaluru, often hailed as "India's Silicon Valley," is grappling with a severe water shortage this year, much earlier than usual...
