B Dayananda has been serving as the Commissioner of Police for Bengaluru City since May 2023. A senior IPS officer, he is widely recognized for pioneering one of the world’s first police blogs during his tenure as Superintendent of Police in Dakshina Kannada, showcasing his commitment to transparent and tech-savvy policing.

Joining him on the podcast, MN Anucheth, a 2009 batch IPS officer, is currently the Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) in Bengaluru. With previous stints as Deputy Commissioner of Police in the West, Central, and Whitefield divisions, Anucheth brings both field experience and a strong technical foundation to his role.
