Consider Hyderabad KTR Said To Startup Community In Bengaluru

KT Rama Rao, the Industries and IT Minister, urged startups in Bengaluru to consider Hyderabad as a location for their operations.

Replying to a tweet by serial entrepreneur Ravish Naresh complaining about the traffic snarls in Bengaluru, KTR said,

“Pack your bags and move to Hyderabad! We have better physical infrastructure and equally good social infrastructure. Our airport is 1 of the best and getting in and of city is a breeze. More importantly, our Govt’s focus is on 3i Mantra; innovation, infrastructure & inclusive growth.”

In a tweet earlier, co-founder of Housing and Khatabook Ravish Naresh mentioned the quality of infrastructure.

“Startups in HSR/Koramangala (India’s Silicon Valley) are already generating billion of $ of taxes. Yet we have v bad roads, almost daily power cuts, poor quality water supply, unusable footpaths. Many rural areas now have better basic infra than India’s Silicon Valley,” his tweet read.

The nearest airport is also three hours away in peak traffic, he added, tagging @PMOindia @narendramodi @BJP4Karnataka and @Tejasvi_Surya for help.

Despite the suggestions to move to the US, Naresh said, "I still prefer to build from India.". Other aspects of life here are much better, and these are fixable issues”.
