Bengaluru, often hailed as the Silicon Valley of India, has undergone significant transformations over the past few decades. From the booming IT sector to its rapidly evolving urban landscape, the city remains a constant topic of debate on social media, with discussions centered on its growth. Recently, industrialist Harsh Goenka joined the conversation, sparking a fresh debate.
In a post on X, the RPG Group Chairman commented on the city’s transformation and its notorious traffic woes. Sharing a picture of co-founders and Nandan Nilekani, Goenka wrote, “Once upon a time, was a serene haven—morning walks in Cubbon Park, leisurely drives in Premier Padmini, and lazy afternoons spent in quaint bookstores. Then, a few bright IITians got some seed money from their better halves, and now… we spend more time stuck on Outer Ring Road than enjoying the ‘Garden City’ breeze. Progress, they call it!”
“Don’t blame them blame the few money grubbing politicians who throw scraps at the people while ensuring their own comfort,” a third user said. “It brought progress to a lot of people. It was also great for the state and the country. Sorry, it ruined your life,” another user commented.
