2. Mumbai vs Bangalore
Quite often at work or with friends we get into a discussion between Mumbai (or Bombay)
vs Bangalore and passions run equally high on both sides. Personally I feel both these cities
have their merits and demerits. Last month I was in Mumbai for a week and had a great
experience. Mumbai welcomed me with Monsoons in full swing. It was dirty and yet
beautiful in its own very way. I did notice a few things about this city and compared with
Bangalore:

Transportation
Mumbai has the best local transport like the local trains and the buses which are
frequent and though it is always crowded the people in Mumbai are very loyal and
easy going. Bangalore is coming up with metro rails and famous for its volvo buses,
Bangalore is improving as we speak.
Taxis
Mumbai seems to have more taxis than any other vehicle. Bangalore on the other
hand has tons of autos and only has the call taxis, and not like the taxis in Mumbai.
Auto
Mumbai autos were fine, in that they at least went by the meter, unlike Bangalore
where the meter is just a fashion accessory!

Infrastructure
The roads were in a much better condition to a large extent and though there were
bad patches and potholes the ratio of good roads to bad roads was much better in
Mumbai than in Bangalore. Also the roads were much wider than in Bangalore. Both
the cities have equally bad traffic jams during the peak hours.
There were lots of flyovers and underpasses cleverly planned and constructed. At
busy junctions and over/under railway lines, thereby providing for un-interrupted
travel. This is so needed in Bangalore where there are way too many intersections
and traffic signals and where the construction pace is as slow as the traffic jams
themselves.
Weather
Bangalore has great weather, quite pleasant throughout the year when compared
Mumbai which gets very humid and hot.

Culture
Bangaloreans are simple and known for their non materialistic approach to life for
possessing simple living high thinking. Mumbaikars don’t care attitude coupled with
non interfering nature surely is a treat for everyone staying here. With ultra cool and
high on style quotient Mumbai is surely the fashion capital of country. Both the cities
have the touch of cosmopolitan men and women.
Society
Mumbai is Bollywood whereas Bangalore is IT Hub. The people in Mumbai are very
different when compared to Bangalore. In Bangalore, I have seen a lot more youngsters
starting new companies, a general ecosystem that has developed for entrepreneurs etc.
Of course, much of this has to do with the now well-known growth of the IT industry
and associated entrepreneurs, whether in the area of defense, automotive applications,
engineering etc.
Mumbai never sleeps, the country’s tinsel town and commercial capital – for years.
Mumbai has been all of the above for people from all walks of life. Also known as the
‘Maximum City’ that has been home to the country’s top industrial houses, produced
enough good cricketers and actors and actresses, so much so that for long it gave an
impression of monopolizing Talent Inc in the country.

Nightlife
The most happening place when it comes to nightlife is Mumbai. In, Mumbai you can
party all night whereas in Bangalore the party ends at 11:30pm. Bangaloreans have
learnt to adapt to this time restriction and start their night life early.
Doing Business
Today the race for talent is no longer between companies, it is between cities and what
they offer. China has shown its purposeful creation and dominance in global production
and manufacturing. India lacks that scale of action, but in knowledge industries you don’t
need just-in-time delivery and high-speed-cargo. You just need “place”, and “place” is
what Bangalore brings to the residents who live in it, and that few other cities in India
have been thoughtful of as they decay in the chaos of bad governance and under
investment in infrastructure. It is not just the IT industry that has picked Bangalore over
Mumbai or chennai, even though those cities have more people, and thus one would
assume, more talent. Various MNCs have set up their R&D centres in Bangalore too,
which has helped to attract top notch research scientists to the R&D centre.

7. Mumbai vs Bangalore
The availability of trained professionals, primarily engineers, dates back to before the
boom in the IT industry. The demands from the booming IT and other industries have
forced institutes to establish, where today they attract students from all over the
country and are known to largely provide quality education.
Though every denizen complains about the dismal state of urban infrastructure and
the quality of their lives in Bangalore, I believe Bangalore has two distinct advantages
over Mumbai, apart from its salubrious climate.
The first is its ability to attract and retain young professionals in search of career or
entrepreneurship. This is thanks to the affordable real estate. Yes, Mumbai still
attracts some the brightest people primarily in the field of entertainment and
financial services and given a choice many of them would prefer to be in Bangalore.
Poor infrastructure, particularly high cost of real estate and commuting hassles is a
deterrent to both employers and employees as far as Mumbai is concerned. Over 40%
of the salary of an average Mumbaikar goes into paying rent

8. Mumbai vs Bangalore
In practical terms, Bangalore’s air is cleaner, its society safer and more refined.
Mumbai still attracts talent, it always has and will but in the race for the best,
Bangalore is increasingly becoming a more attractive destination. For Indian-born
talent returning home, Bangalore is again the destination of first choice. The net
result is that slowly the city is also becoming one of the largest centres of activity
and commerce in the country, rapidly rivalling the weight of Mumbai or Delhi
The second advantage that Bangalore enjoys - and a very important one – over
Mumbai (and over Delhi or chennai, I would think) is the engagement that its most
prominent citizens have with the city’s administration and well being, an
engagement that truly makes them a stakeholder in the city’s growth,
development and well being. A resident’s awareness of the levers of power and the
knowledge that they have access to them in time of need, makes a big difference in
how engaged and invested they are in the “place”.

9. Mumbai vs Bangalore
Bangalore is ‘charming’ as it is a young growing city where one will feel
engaged in the development of the city somehow or the other , one will have
an after work life , professional opportunities, women friendly etc etc.
Needless to say affordable real estate compared to Mumbai, whereas
Mumbai felt like a ‘matured’ city with citizens executing their bit of work with
dedication and the ‘money making’ capital of India. Mumbai has its own
charm but its decaying under its own success. I love Mumbai and the vibrance
it carries but when it comes to Bangalore, one can truly sense its place in a
global perspective.
