Narayana Murthy Flags Urban Overload Risk: Mass Migration To Bengaluru, Pune, Hyderabad In 20 Years

He is wrong once again. "Urban overload" is a lame excuse for not developing infrastructure. China had the same issue of mass migration. Chinese were moving in the millions to Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou. The chinese solved the issue by building a 25-corridor metro in Shanghai. Shanghai's metro is 2x bigger than Delhi's metro system

Thanks Chandra Babu Naidu for developing Amaravati-Vijayawada-Guntur ORR region as a new Tier1 metropolitan area of India but with good spatial planning like Piped gas to independent houses, IPTV, Underground electricity cables, Footpath/Sidewalk, etc. We need this. We don't want to keep adding people to existing Tier1 cities. We need new Tier1 cities.

[@pruthiveanobotha9841]

Compared to Amaravati, there are several cities in Andhra Pradesh that offer promising potential for development with lower investment requirements. The Tirupati-Sri City belt, for instance, has already shown growth as an industrial hub due to its proximity to Chennai, access to skilled labor, and infrastructure support. The Kakinada and Krishnapatnam-Ramayapatnam areas also hold significant promise, especially with their strategic coastal locations that support port development and trade. Additionally, Visakhapatnam (Vizag) is emerging as a key city with well-established infrastructure, making it an attractive option for further development. The Guntur-Vijayawada region also offers excellent connectivity and is well-positioned to serve as a central node for trade and commerce within the state.The Anantapur-Bangalore border region benefits from proximity to the thriving Bangalore metro area, allowing it to attract businesses and industries seeking lower operational costs while still being close to a major urban center. Kurnool, with its central location and access to major highways, can serve as a logistical hub connecting various parts of Andhra Pradesh

I can absolutely tell that this is the case for Pune. I've lived here my entire life but now it's nothing short of a nightmare. You pretty much can't do anything during rush hour and on weekends. All places are so incredibly crowded that you really don't even feel like leaving your house. Roads are congested, public transport is over loaded (to put it mildly), there is rarely enough space to even breathe in any public place. And the pace at which the city's population is increasing seems to have shot up unbelievably after Covid. Never have I wanted more to move out to a different country or at least a quiet more peaceful place here.

You see the world in black and white; and expect every single person in the world to be a workaholic like u. Mrs. Murthy can put up with ur quirky ways and workaholism, but not every family person would want their spouses to be so. So please, retire quietly with ur amazing legacy as the founder of Infosys and not tarnish it with irrational/hypocritical/shortsighted comments.
