Indian Cities Leading Global Growth 🌏 I came across an article highlighting how 4 Indian cities, Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Mumbai are projected to be among the top 10 fastest-growing cities in the world by 2033. It’s inspiring to see Indian cities becoming global growth hubs, driven by rapid urbanization and a growing services sector. This ranking is driven by key factors like GDP growth, population expansion, and rising personal wealth. With a young, educated workforce, these cities are definitely going to shape the future of India and the whole world The future looks bright for India’s growth hubs #hydrabad #bangalore #mumbai #delhi #india #linkedin #jobs #growth #innovation

Kanpur leads among Indian cities for being the "Happiest cities" to live in India. But guess the city for "Ease of living"? . . You guessed it right. BANGALORE, followed by Pune, Ahmedabad, and Chennai. As per Ease of Living Index, Bangalore, with the score of 66.70 holds the title of the "Most livable city in India 2024". The competing cities were analysed for their quality of life like healthcare, education, economic ability, financial inclusivity, opportunities and resilence to environmental changes. Let's pretend the water problem doesn't exist. (Let's think pre-2024). Look at the general mood of the city: There is a sense of acceptance, inclusiveness and a potential for personal growth which to me seems missing in other metro cities and tier 2s. (Job seekers don't flock there for nothing). Making a living or growing is challenging everywhere but it's less harrowing in India's silicon valley. . . I could be wrong. What do you think? #happinessindex #sustainability

Rethinking India's Urban Landscape: A Call for Decentralization" The uneven distribution of population across India's cities, with a heavy concentration in metropolitan areas like Bangalore, Mumbai, and Delhi, has led to significant challenges. The high cost of living in these cities, coupled with concerns about overpopulation, has created a strain on local resources and infrastructure. To address this issue, I believe it is essential for big companies and startups to partner with businesses and builders in Tier-2 cities. By investing in these regions, these organizations can help distribute the workforce more evenly and alleviate the pressure on major metropolitan areas. With the recent improvements in road infrastructure and connectivity, Tier-2 cities are now better positioned to attract businesses and talent. By expanding operations to these areas, companies can enjoy lower operating costs, a more affordable lifestyle for their employees, and a greater potential for growth. This approach offers a win-win situation for all stakeholders. The government can benefit from increased revenue, while businesses can expand their reach and reduce costs. Employees can enjoy a better quality of life and higher disposable income. By promoting decentralization, we can create a more sustainable and equitable urban landscape for India. Moreover, this can help address the desire of people in small cities to experience the opportunities and excitement of big cities, while also providing a solution for those in metropolitan areas seeking a more peaceful and affordable lifestyle. By creating a more balanced distribution of resources and opportunities across the country, we can ensure that everyone has the chance to live and work in a place that best suits their needs and aspirations. #corporate #business

#MFTIndia Hyderabad has been recognized as one of the top 10 fastest-growing cities in the world, according to the Growth Hubs Index by Savills, a global property consultancy. The index evaluates cities based on projected economic performance, factoring in GDP growth, wealth trends, population, and migration forecasts through 2033. With rapid urbanization in India, it's no surprise Hyderabad ranks high alongside other key Indian cities. The city’s tech sector, powered by a skilled young workforce, is a major driver of its economic rise. Hyderabad is also expected to see a significant increase in population and migration, further boosting its growth and solidifying its place as a global tech hub. #urbanisation #techgrowth #economicdevelopment #skilledworkforce #growthhub #GDPgrowth #migrationtrends #infrastructuredevelopment #Hyderabad #globalcities

India’s Urban Growth: Are Our Cities Ready for the Future. On a recent trip from Mumbai to Konkan, I was struck by the state of infrastructure along the way. Despite ongoing development, congestion and inadequate road capacity are clear challenges—challenges mirrored in our cities as they struggle with rising populations and limited resources. Mumbai and Delhi, India’s largest urban hubs, illustrate the pressures of urban growth. Mumbai, with over 20 million residents, faces severe traffic congestion and skyrocketing housing prices, where prime property can cost up to INR 45,000 per sq. ft. Delhi NCR, with nearly 30 million people, suffers from high pollution, road congestion, and water shortages. Housing remains largely unaffordable, pushing people to suburban fringes, where infrastructure is still catching up. India’s top cities, from Bengaluru to Chennai, are grappling with water scarcity, strained transportation systems, and electricity demands that often outstrip supply. Housing affordability is another critical concern, with prices high in central areas and rising even in the outskirts. To address these pressures, India might benefit from developing new, well-planned megacities like Chandigarh, Gandhinagar, and Noida. Spreading out population growth and economic opportunities could relieve existing cities while ensuring more balanced, sustainable urbanization. Our future demands that we think ahead, invest in resilient infrastructure, and build a network of thriving cities. By acting now, we can shape an urban landscape that serves every citizen well. #Income inequality #GlobalEconomy #WealthDistribution vijitnair2010 #coaching #vijitnair #vijitnair2010 #bancassurance #lifeinsurance #success #podcast #marketing #innovation #leadership #motivationquote #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #mumbai #leadershipdevelopment #opportunity #mumbai #people #opportunities #entrepreneurship #entrepreneur #digitalmarketing #growth #startup #entrepreneurs #strategy #startups #venturecapital #founders #GoldInvestment #InvestInGold #GoldForWealth #WealthCreation #GoldMarket #HedgeAgainstInflation #PreciousMetals #GoldETFs #SmartInvesting #CAGR #InvestmentStrategy #Dhanteras2024 #Diwali2024 #JewelryInvestment #GoldAsAsset

🔴 I live in #Bangalore, one of the largest and fastest-growing metropolitan cities in developing India. But…   What do you mean by #growth and #development you ask? Even I had been asking this question to myself, what does growth and development mean? (Echoing Kate Raworth's #DoughnutEconomics !)   Is it, a city running out of drinking water trying to satisfy the needs of its residents? Is it, water levels of lakes in and around the city dropping down and eventually drying up due to rampant over-exploitation? And more importantly, exploiting river Cauvery to its maximum limit and further exploring where to tap into water next?   How much growth? What are the limits? I'm reminded of "Limits to Growth" by Donella Meadows, et. al.   As the city grows along with its popularity owing to the established legacy of IT companies offering services to global organizations, thousands of other smaller companies doing the same, and with startup valuations at billions $, so do the people migrating towards it grow gradually first, and then exponentially. I'm one of those who moved here from #Hyderabad, another such city.   As the city continues to expand in all directions as the growing population needs buildings to live and work, roads to drive, malls for entertainment, and new services. So does the impact fall on nature and the environment to pay the price.   Bangalore's once famous green cover is shrinking, like most Indian metros. Its water supply sources, some have permanently dried, some others are on the way. Some are exploited to the maximum. It continues to build more roads to accommodate more vehicular traffic. For us, to grow.   Honestly, this is going to be the story of not just Bangalore, but all other metros and fast 'growing' large cities in #India.   We all want growth. So do I. More salary, better cars, better home, safe water and air, but also better exposure to nature and recreation nearby.   This is where we have come to. This is our growth. We're all a part of it, some of us do suffer. Some of us cannot tackle, some cannot bear, some may fight, and some give in. I'm in one of these categories. A wannabe in solving type.   Movies and TV shows that show people leaving earth due to climate change for other space colonies or planets is not fictional any more, most likely we will.   I'm starting to grow a dystopian view of how where our cities are headed. Didn't expect to write a doomsday post, but its already happening. If some of us don't pay the price, some others will. More fault lines will become visible as we fight to secure water for ourselves.   Bangalore's current #watercrisis is only going to further, especially this summer.   While I'm partly hopeful that I'm working in the field that gives me access to work with people who want to and can solve this problem, I wonder if it's not too late that the decision makers jump in to take action. #climatechange #sustainabledevelopment #water #sustainability #citiesforpeople

For decades, India’s economic growth story has been synonymous with its bustling metropolises like Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore. These megacities have attracted talent, investment, and industry, transforming themselves into economic powerhouses. However, a new wave is rising – the rise of Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. These smaller cities are shedding their sleepy town labels and emerging as vibrant economic hubs in their own right. This shift presents a compelling opportunity for businesses seeking to tap into a growing market and a diverse talent pool with executive talent in India.
