Paying Bellandur levels rents for a match box apartment and still having to cram into an overflowing train compartment just to get to work. This is why tech companies prefer Bangalore.

It's really funny how Accenture is going around calling every city 30yrs behind 😂😂 Gurgaon is 30yrs behind as it has a functional metro that connects a large part of the city, drivable roads, and almost all profitable tech companies. 30yrs ago we didn't have cell phones in India. That happened in 1995. Cars were a rarity. You have no grasp of time. Say, in 1965, we were being asked by the PM to do a fast day a week coz we don't have food in our country. In 1964, Japan had a functional bullet train as they hosted the Olympics. That's called being head. Not your 2 braincell ideology that other tier-1 cities are 30yr behind. Go fuck yourself in Kannada.

Powai (current headquarter location) has pathetic connectivity. No metro or rail network. Metro is under construction for past 2-3 years. JVLR is always congested due to metro construction. Powai is a lovely place to live though; well planned and with lot of green spaces.

Love it. Next step - Founders move to Goa / Europe and let the business run itself Step 3: Say we will be bigger than Walmart, worth 100bn and profitable.

If the rent was the issue then they should have moved to Hyderabad. Rents would be less than Bangalore.

Can UP have the next Bangalore?

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?

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...
