For young professionals in India, Bengaluru is the city of dreams. However, in the last few years, the city has faced a series of urban challenges. The latest is a severe water crisis.
Bengaluru: In mid-2023, Vikas and Shruti Jha decided to return to India, after living in Singapore for nearly 13 years. They were torn between Mumbai, Kolkata and Bengaluru as the city of choice. Though the couple, in their mid-40s, had their families in Mumbai and Kolkata, they eventually picked Bengaluru, sometimes called the ‘garden city’ because of how leafy the city is, or was.
