Gaurav Munjal, the visionary CEO of Unacademy, has lauded Bengaluru as the ultimate city in India for entrepreneurs and professionals seeking substantial career advancement. Taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Munjal expressed his admiration for Bengaluru’s vibrant startup ecosystem, noting the city’s magnetic appeal to ambitious individuals.
Munjal extolled the city’s dynamic entrepreneurial landscape, urging aspiring founders to consider Bengaluru as their primary launchpad for new ventures. "Everyone I meet these days wants to move to Bangalore. Best city in India," Munjal tweeted. He further underscored, "And the only place you should be if you’re thinking of starting a company."
Munjal’s endorsement sparked a spirited discussion across social media, resonating with many. One user emphasized the city’s exceptional environment for career growth, stating, "Not even starting a company, if you want non-linear outcomes in your career, BLR is the place with the highest probability!"
Another user highlighted Bengaluru’s myriad advantages: "Its robust infrastructure, talent pool, and cosmopolitan culture foster innovation. The city's pro-business policies and vibrant entrepreneurial spirit make it an ideal launchpad for new ventures. Moreover, its pleasant weather throughout the year aids productivity."
A third user chimed in, “The weather and the whole startup vibe very much keep you alive in Bangalore."
However, Munjal’s glowing assessment wasn’t without dissent. One user pointed out viable alternatives for tech careers: “If you are looking to build a career in tech, there are still alternatives to Bangalore like Hyderabad, Gurgaon, Pune, Chennai. But if you want to build a career in finance, there is no other alternative to Mumbai."
Another user expressed skepticism, particularly in light of the increasing trend towards remote work: "Not very sure about that, especially with 'pure tech' firms that are globally going remote these days. When tech is the product and not the enabler of a service, people will choose a better location, more mobility, and freedom."
Despite varying opinions, Munjal’s enthusiastic endorsement of Bengaluru underscores the city’s significant role as a hub of entrepreneurship and innovation, cementing its place in India’s economic landscape.
