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?
30y back Bangalore was like what Mysore is today.
So definitely, any city can be next Bengaluru.
But I bet it to be a Gujrati city. Like Ahmedabad, gift city or any new concept like neom.
Extreme weather and air pollution is the main reason I left delhi ncr.
But blr has its own issues like language issues, protectionism and traffic ⛔ woes.
I feel no metro in India is good enough, infact a village is better than tier 2 or 3.
I see many people 100+ age living in Village.
Hard to find 80+ in metros.
UP and Bihar need 20y of double engine rule to gain from infrastructure development and that will bring economic growth alongwith IT sector
+1, in cities people are living in small cubicles. Village homes are big.
MP has had double engine sarkars. It really doesnt matter if the quality of folks aren’t upto mark.
Problem with UP is that it’s the Indian Florida.
In Blr true you hear the recent news and you might feel a bit worried but not to the extent of UP.
People will rather have boards in Kannada as well and deal with traffic rather than getting shot by a random drunk who did it cause he’s related to a politician.
Moreover I feel opinions on this depend on which side you’re from. If you’re from the north you’d prefer UP. If you’re from the south you’d prefer Blr.
Can UP be the next BLR , geographically / economically maybe. What is going to be the challenge is the mentality of the people towards outsiders which blr isn’t great either but would still rank better than UP.
UP is good for the next part of Gangs of Wasseypur & Mirzapur not IT.
It's the people which make the city, if you ever have been to UP , you would never feel like settling down there .
Keep dreaming

If they buiild more "lake-view" apartments, there will be no more lakes left, not that there are many left.
