IT folks in Bangalore are the same person in different bodies.

In my org people have been creating that vibe where they are very sophisticated about their actions, the way they speak etc, they behave like we are working in a US based startup where they are using western lingo and all together a different way to communicate. I have worked in other startups in other cities but didn’t find this type of culture. Is this common or am I missing something? What are your thoughts?

I hate the pub culture

Sooo I feel like Bangalore is a city that lives on Hype, everyone is just trying to be cool and are too afraid of actually call out stuff for what they are. Few examples (my personal opinion) Eat Naru - it’s good ramen, but you can definitely find better or as good (bookings are sold out in minutes) Pizza 4Ps - Average pizza, great hospitality but not worth waiting for a booking a month in advance Ultrahuman ring - It’s not even that accurate for that price March Tee - good T-shirt, but you can find so much better at that price point I like to call this the Bangalore Hype Train xP

On a recent episode of Nikhil Kamath, he says “Bangalore is famous for nice and welcoming people”. This is so very true to a large extent. Every city however has some outliers who tarnish the image by going extreme. I have seen a lot of posts on GrapeVine complaining about Bangalore and their people. People should understand that every native resident of a city carries a profound sense of connection and endeavours to uphold the cultural heritage of their hometown. And what better way to preserve heritage than to safeguard language ? This is the reason I believe most non Hindi speaking cities try to impose their language on outsiders. All said and done, I feel language should never be imposed but at the same time it shouldn’t be ridiculed either. I’ve seen a lot of “Kannada” hate post and is disheartening to see it. And lastly I appologize to all those who have had negative experiences due to a few troublemakers. TL;DR : Bangalore is a lovely city with warm and welcoming people.

It's crazy how this native-non native issue persists immensely in Bangalore. No other developed city like Mumbai, Hyderabad, Delhi, Pune has this. Bangalore is going down big time with so much rising hate in the city.

Looking to understand the new to credit market better to ideate a solution for them. Any research that can help? Also very keen to chat if anyone is thinking about solving for this market too!

not only I have experienced this personally,but i have heard these from a few other people as well Mallus tend to do groupism. No matter what function it is they take control in that group, hence they become difficult to work with. They are hesitant to change, you won't feel like you are part of decision making. So avoid it if you can. PS: Offence Intended

I've been living in BLR all my life and been living in Gurgaon for about 4 months now because of company transfer. I thought BLR was bad until I came to Gurgaon. 1) The complete lack of apathy and compassion is off the charts here. People are so individualistic and small issues turn into huge fights. One example being a guy in a Fortuner hit my Hyundai hatchback from behind and screamed and made a scene when it was his fault and the guys all around supported him, I knew limited Hindi and I had to pay money to get the hell out of the place. 2) Climate and pollution: No words here. Extremely hot and polluted. 3) Rents have almost reached BLR levels or more 4) infrastructure: I thought BLR infra was shit but roads are non existent here and streets get water logged and stays waterlogged for 10 hours even after rains stopped lol. It feels like a dead City with no life, depressing and a concrete jungle.
