Karnataka Job Reservation Row: Industry Leaders Criticize Karnataka's Job Quota for Locals

Eye opener for those who are planning to live in Bangalore for long time. Better to avoid investing in properties and get stuck. If companies will have this culture, all giant MNCs look to relocate.

Kannadigas digging their own grave. IT sector will surely relocate.

2 things. 1. Companies won't move. 2. Even if it does, it will majorly just affect immigrants, big chunk of IT employees in Bangalore are non locals. Only some filthy rich real estate guys will be hit somewhat. Let that be, that's good again, the middle class will be able to afford more if RE prices drop. But the biggest problem is no one will move. It's all just scream ur lungs out but no action. Everyone will rot in blr itself☹️. But atleast with this we will see some good people in the city!

@NewsAnchor so when is Grapevine moving out of Bangalore?

It's not much but I run a small startup with few remote employees spread across India. I'm not paying the karnataka government much apart from professional tax. I guess it's time to shift my registered address. Don't want to deal with all this ambiguity. Small startups become bigger and home base is always important since they end up spending most of their funding in the place they started. This is just cutting out the branch on which they are sitting. Who in their right mind thought that the government can force companies to take people without merit is beyond me.

Means 70% are tech jobs will be reserved for Karnataka, i am sure big techs and startups will move out of banglore very soon

Bhai, IT and ITES sector isn’t included atleast toll 2029. Source: https://www.india-briefing.com/news/it-ites-companies-karnataka-standing-orders-exemption-till-2029-33321.html/

This is pure discriminatory and shortsighted bill. I hope judiciary strikes this down.

apart from cons I'm unable to see pros with this law🙈

I guess they are gonna start moving out

Here is the opportunity for companies or other state to impose reverse reservation. People from karnataka state employed in any other state should be less than 30%/50% for non management and management job. Ask me why? Because this reservation should goes both ways. If by providing reservation, you're killing meritocracy and regional identity is more important than a melting pot of culture. Then yes, other state and companies should come forward and propose this solution that total strength of karnataka people in any company of any other state, that should be 100%- reservation given by Karnataka government. Also, no person from karnataka should be allowed to work in any other state for group C and D jobs. Also, if a kannada person is working in any other state, he has to pass the local state language test. This is call Tit for Tat. And to hell with the regional identity bullshit.

Political move by congress. Lot of states tried the same Supreme Court denied. Now if it gets denied , congress plans to put the blame on centre I.e. BJP and say to the locals look your BJP doesn’t support you and you voted for them. And if it does get implemented people who are saying nothing is going to happen. Well lot of things can happen. May be we will start getting remote work. May be companies eventually move to other states or open one so that they can move in future. May be companies won’t get future projects to Bangalore unless they do find 50% local talent. There could be anything. But let’s not come to conclusions because it is more of a political move just like the free bus scheme.

Realistically, is this even possible? Didn't Haryana do this too? I have not heard people from Gurgaon leaving

Will this have any real impact? As a corporate, I'd easily pay 25000 rupees. Also strongly disagree with what the Karnataka govt is doing here.

Companies will pay that small penalty amount lol, they don't give a damn
