Ahmedabad “roads are so wide and lane markings are quite prominent. It's like markings were done just yesterday. Looking at Bangalore, I used to believe that Indian road quality is going down.

“Moreover, the city (Ahmedabad) is well lit. Whereas, Bangalore is dark! Forget bright happening lights, even basic street lights don't work. Is that why people are generally sad and angry in Bangalore?” asked the CEO through his post.
