Bangalore is considered to be one of the fastest growing cities in Asia and also one of the most sought after cities in India by people, companies, and tourists. It was already called Electronic City of India but the establishment of Silicon Park on the out skirts has converted it into Silicon City of the World. The city holds many Indian as well as multinational Infotech companies.
The population in the city has grown enormously on account of migration of people from all corners of India, neighboring cities and countries from the West. The majority of the rapid economic growth has been brought about by the IT and other associated industries.
This has led to an escalation of the vehicle population and continues to grow exponentially. The unplanned nature of the rise and growth of these industries and the city’s design, the economic growth has also led to a great deal of traffic and congested roads. The city’s roads were not designed to accommodate the massive traffic. As the city continues to expand, the necessity for proper planning and road infrastructure to commute through the city increases.
In my opinion, proper planning, construction monitoring and quality control are essential. Projects and construction simply need to be finished and cleaned up. Proper lane markings and properly operating traffic lights will make a huge difference. Better road surfaces and the cleaning of the debris all over will also help.
Aside from the not-so-improving infrastructure problem, Bangalore still remains the Silicon Valley of India. The large IT service providers, such as Infosys, continue to attract global buyers. Bangalore has grown from low-end ITO and BPO such as coding and data-entry processes to now doing high-end ITO and BPO such as embedded systems and voice-based technical support respectively. The city could claim to have the highest number of captives across the globe. Intel, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, Cisco, Google, Yahoo, HP, Motorola, Siemens, Samsung are among the ITO sector. BPO would cover Citi, Reuters, HSBC, Goldman Sachs, Dell and JP Morgan.
Every city has its own culture, traditions, and customs. Bangalore, too, has its own distinct personality and way of life. It is an awesome cosmopolitan city. The youth is attracted to the city because of its lively pop culture and great weather, throughout the whole year.
