The co-founder gave background for the decision, as the average commute for his colleagues shot up to over 1.5 hours one way.
“Roads are full of potholes & dust, coupled with the lowest intent to get them rectified. Didn’t see any of this changing in the next 5 years,” he noted.
Bengaluru’s infrastructure, including pothole issues, remains a persistent challenge for the city. Bellandur was one of Bengaluru’s first localities to see rapid growth in office and residential spaces, becoming home to global IT giants. However, it is notorious for broken roads, clogged drains, and crumbling infrastructure. Despite generating the highest revenue for the city’s civic body, the locality continues to suffer from poor infrastructure.
On Sept. 14, Deputy Chief Minister and Bengaluru Development Minister D. K. Shivakumar had said the city is set for a major push in road development with Rs 1,100 crore allocated for repair and construction.
“We are committed to ensuring every constituency benefits from these funds and to building smooth, pothole-free roads across the city,” he had said.
