A man took to X to share his frustration over Bengaluru’s worsening infrastructure, drawing a sharp comparison with Mumbai and sparking a heated debate online. In his post, he claimed that Bengaluru’s poor civic conditions could soon drive tech talent away from the city, once considered India’s undisputed technology hub.

“ I wouldn't be surprised if we see tech talent migrate from bengaluru to bombay purely based on how bad the infra is in the city. airport is far away, roads are bad, cabs don't work vs bombay where insane flyovers are cutting times in half, new airports / metro trains are being built” he wrote.
The man then praised Mumbai’s infrastructure boom, noting that the city’s newly built flyovers are already cutting travel times. He also mentioned the construction of a new airport and expanding metro network as signs of a city moving forward, making it more appealing to professionals seeking better connectivity and quality of life.
