Everyone loves Bangalore but why do they equally hate the infrastructure? The city is home to many flourishing businesses that contribute to the economy. But why do we lack the good public infrastructure here? Why can’t we have good metro connectivity here as we have in Delhi? Why do we have to depend on private infrastructure for everyday commutes that aren't efficient and also not pocket-friendly?   Watch Mohandas Pai answering all these questions here for us!   https://lnkd.in/gWTaqMUB Share your views in the comments!

Why do I switch off the lights in my office? It's not about being Kanjoos. As summer season started, We have seen water crisis in Bangalore. It's crucial to realize that our electricity consumption directly impacts water usage. Did you know that it takes approximately 2.5 liters of water to generate just one unit (or 1 kWh) of electricity in a typical thermal power plant? And this doesn't even include the additional of transporting electricity from Point A to B. Every time we flip a switch, we're indirectly contributing to the strain on our water resources. Therefore, conserving electricity isn't just about saving energy, it's also about conserving water. Can't doable: 1. We can't control the increasing usage per capita as the population grows. 2. We can't control where the need for electricity arises. 3. We can't completely control the industrial demand for electricity, which often requires significant amounts of energy for manufacturing processes. 4. We can't entirely eliminate the need for essential services that rely on electricity, such as hospitals, emergency services, and essential infrastructure. Can doable: 1. Switch off electricity where it's not needed at all. 2. Many corporates keep the AC on in conference rooms even when there are no meetings scheduled. 3. Hesitation issues - it might seem awkward if someone walks into our office and the lights are off. 4. Share this post, so it can educate more and more people. 5. whenever needed, Take charge to switch off the light. Don't feel ashamed, log kya kahenge. Some may argue that water is necessary to rotate turbines and generate electricity. While this is true, we must also consider the need for water stock in the first place. Metropolitan cities like Bangalore are already facing water crises. Changing this mindset is crucial. Let's pledge to be mindful of our electricity usage, not only for the sake of our energy resources but also for the precious water that sustains life. #Environment #WaterConservation #EnergyEfficiency #BangaloreWaterCrisis #MindsetChange #watercrisis #bangalorewatercrisis #primeqa

Today I saw this traffic on bangalore hyderabad highways inside of city's. Traffic problem could be solved by having different timings for different types of offices on the basis of industry and location. Around 25% of the offices should operate between 9 am to 5 pm, 50% between 9:30 am to 5:30 pm, the rest between 10:30 am to 6:30 pm. 50% of the employees should be allowed to work from home on alternate day basis. They should come to office on 2 to 3 days in a week, rest work from home. This will mean less air pollution because of less traffic jam and less travel. Moreover, a lot of savings in electricity, water and other resources as people will work from home. People will get more time with their family, and they will save money on travel. Companies will pay less rentals and maintenance as now the same office could accommodate 50% more staff. Please use public transport, a bus can reduce 50 cars and an 8 coach metro can accommodate 2400 people. I love Bengaluru. The objective of this post is to spread awareness and implement a better solution for our Metro Cities. Jai Bharat! Startups need to solve problems of traffic, pollution, global warming, fresh water scarcity, and food shortage. #mechanicalengineering #bangalorestartups #karnatakatourism #softwaredevelopment #socialmedia #engineeringinnovation #engineeringmanagement #socialcare #socialinnovation #internationalcollaboration #internationallogistics

Namma Bangalore: A Beacon of Hope Lets not exploit big cities, especially those that serve as the lifeline of INDIA, such as Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi etc. Many individuals from smaller towns and villages migrate to these cities to pursue job opportunities or launch their own businesses. After a few months or years, they often find success in securing a good job or achieving a breakthrough with their company. However, it is disheartening to see the same individuals begin exploiting the city through excessive consumption. As humans, our basic needs are food, clothing, and shelter. While it's okay to aspire for a bigger house, good food, and a luxury car, we must be mindful not to overindulge in excessive consumption. Buying multiple homes and cars specially in Bangalore can lead to overconsumption, as Bangalore Infrastructure doesn't support that. The issue arises when we begin to think I exerted great effort and participated in numerous late-night meetings. I believe I deserve to indulge in the fruits of my labor, these individuals engage in excessive consumption. If one possesses an attitude of gratitude, the Bangalore ecosystem aided me in securing a job. The competitive nature of Bangalore motivated me to work diligently. I owe my current status to Bangalore; therefore, it is imperative that we refrain from overconsumption and exploiting the Bangalore ecosystem. Utilize public transportation to the fullest extent possible and refrain from purchasing multiple properties in Bangalore. Live a modest lifestyle in Bangalore. If one strategically plans their financial calculations while residing in big cities for 10-15 years, they can potentially accumulate enough wealth to comfortably transition to smaller cities for the next 30-40 years, provided they choose to live a simpler lifestyle. A simple life gives birth to more clarity, inner peace and meaningful relationships. I stayed in Noida and Bangalore for a period of 12 years, spanning from 2010 to 2022. Throughout my tenure, I utilized public transportation and relied on a bicycle to commute from my rented 1bhk house to the metro station. I had enough money to purchase a bike /car or even own a house in Bangalore, but I made a conscious decision not to not exploit Bangalore. Until we truly see Bangalore, Mumbai, and Delhi as our nurturing Mother, we will continue to exploit her resources without gratitude. A mother finds contentment in sharing her possessions with her children. Mother Bangalore is taking care of us in the same way. Let's lead a simple life in Bangalore and save Mother Bangalore for the future generation.

🚨 Urgent Reality Check: Bangalore's Thirst! 🚨 Imagine waking up in a city where the tap runs dry. In Bangalore, this isn't just a hypothetical scenario—it's a daily struggle. Picture this: anxious residents, their buckets barren, queueing for miles, all under the unforgiving gaze of the sun. At the heart of this crisis, a dry tap stands as a silent testament to the parched reality of India's Silicon Valley. The contrast is stark. Against the backdrop of Bangalore's soaring skyscrapers, the water scarcity paints a different picture—a reminder of the fragile balance between urban progress and natural sustainability. This scene, set in earthy and arid tones, is not just an image but a call to action. Why should this matter to us on LinkedIn? Because innovation starts with awareness. We have the power to change narratives, to turn scarcity into abundance. Let's leverage our network to quench Bangalore's thirst, blending technology with empathy to solve the water crisis. Join the conversation. Be the change. 💧 #BangaloreWaterCrisis #SustainableDevelopment #InnovationForChange #ActNow
