Question

do you agree that bengaluru is losing out to grgaon and pune as an IT hub

Answer 1

It was really a matter of time before the trend started, since Bangalore is already groaning under the pressure of its huge IT sector and the large migratory population it has attracted over the years.

One of the reasons for Bangalore losing some of its sheen for investors is the dismal infrastructure – broken sewage lines, erratic power supply, congested industry clusters, you name it and Bangaloreans have faced it.

And everyone who has been to Bangalore has suffered at the hand of its infamous traffic. When a commute of a mere 8 kilometers takes upwards of an hour, you know there’s a problem. Recently, the U.S. Ambassador to India Richard Verma observed that Bangalore’s traffic does not allow anyone to reach a place on time.

Add to these infrastructure issues the atmosphere of political uncertainty that looms over the city so often and the sky-high cost of operations and Bangalore begins to lose its charm.
