Hyderabad
Touted as India’s ‘Silicon Valley,’ Bengaluru’s pathetic physical infrastructure, especially poor roads, got slammed by Twitterati after the COO of Housing.com and founder of Khatabook, Ravish Naresh, complained about Bengaluru's roads and other amenities on social media.
Ravish had recently tweeted: “Startups in HSR/Koramangala are already generating billions of $ of taxes, yet they have bad roads, almost daily power cuts, poor quality water supply, unusable footpaths. Many rural areas now have better basic infra than India’s Silicon Valley. Also, the nearest airport is ~3 hrs away in peak traffic.
”Telangana IT and Industries Minister KT Rama Rao immediately reacted to his post and asked him to “pack his bags and move to Hyderabad” as it has better physical and social infrastructure. Rao joined the conversation, saying Hyderabad has better amenities. He also addded that Hyderabad's airport is one of the best and getting in and out of the city is a breeze. More importantly the Telangana government’s focus is on three Is: innovation, infrastructure and inclusive growth.
