Paradox in Bengaluru, Asia's Silicon Valley

More than 1 million Google, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs employees in Bengaluru have to commute 14.5 km in 4 hours and have no running water.

Bengaluru is known as the Silicon Valley of Asia with hundreds of global technology companies.

But the city is in the midst of a serious infrastructure paradox.

More than 1 million office workers have to rely on water tankers instead of having tap water.

The 14.5 km journey to the technology park took nearly 4 hours due to terrible traffic jams.

The reason is the uncontrolled speed of urbanization and construction that makes the city overloaded.

Bellandur Lake, once a major water source, has become a symbol of environmental crisis.

Even though the metro is under construction, the congestion and water shortages have no solution.

Experts warn that if infrastructure is not improved, Bengaluru will lose its technological appeal.
