Vishwas Mudagal Show

Can Electronic City in Bengaluru, India, become one of the country's most important destinations for the next generation of global companies?

In Episode 1 of Building New India, a new series on The Vishwas Mudagal Show, Vishwas Mudagal speaks with Dr. V. V. Veerappan, Chairman of ELCITA, at ELCIA Tech Summit 2026.

Located in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, Electronic City helped establish the city as a major technology destination. But as Bengaluru evolves, an important question emerges: What will it take for Electronic City to attract more global companies and unlock its next chapter of growth?

In this episode, they discuss:

•⁠ ⁠What makes Electronic City's industry-led township model unique

•⁠ ⁠ELCITA's emerging Vision 2040

•⁠ ⁠Infrastructure, security, sustainability and mobility

•⁠ ⁠The role of talent, academia, engineering and manufacturing

•⁠ ⁠Why some companies believe Electronic City is already full

•⁠ ⁠Opportunities to attract more Global Capability Centres (GCCs)

•⁠ ⁠The proposal for an Electronic City GCC Task Force

•⁠ ⁠How industry collaboration can help strengthen India's technology ecosystem

A key moment comes when Vishwas proposes a dedicated GCC Task Force to bring industry leaders, infrastructure providers, academia and ecosystem partners together.

Dr. Veerappan welcomes the proposal and expresses support for working together on a roadmap.

Is Bengaluru's Electronic City being overlooked, or is its next big chapter just beginning?

Why Isn't Indian Football Recognised Globally.

A big foreign salary can look exciting… until rent, food and transport take it all. 💸🌍

Why India needs 100 new smart towns — not bigger metros. 🇮🇳

Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Pune — every ambitious Indian is crowding into the same 5 cities. And that's exactly why they're collapsing.

Traffic. Pollution. Impossible real-estate prices. Water shortages. Infrastructure that can't keep up. We're trying to squeeze the entire future of India into a handful of overloaded metros.

Here's the truth no one in urban planning wants to say: India will add hundreds of millions of people to its cities in the coming decades. The question was never whether cities grow — it's where.

You think developed countries are ahead? Wait till you see what India built. 🇮🇳

UPI — India's Unified Payments Interface — is quietly one of the greatest financial innovations in modern history. Here are 5 reasons every Indian should be proud of it 👇

1️⃣ Every Indian became a bank — buy a ₹10 chai or pay ₹10 lakh for a car, the same QR code works. No card machine. No cash. No minimum.

2️⃣ Money moves in seconds — 24/7, 365 days a year. No weekends, no banking hours. In many developed countries, bank transfers still take hours or even days.

3️⃣ Small businesses won — the vegetable seller, the auto driver, the chai stall, the street vendor… all accept digital payments with nothing more than a printed QR code.

4️⃣ Almost free — UPI processed over 21 billion transactions in a single month, yet everyday transfers cost users next to nothing. Compare that to Visa & Mastercard's 1.5–3% fees.

5️⃣ The world is watching — UPI is already live in countries like the UAE, Singapore, France, Bhutan, Nepal, Sri Lanka & Mauritius, with 20+ more in talks. For once, the world isn't teaching India — India is leading. 🌍

Every time you scan a QR code in 2 seconds, you're using one of the greatest digital public infrastructures ever created. And it's proudly Indian. 🇮🇳

Indian parenting has a fear problem — and it's quietly holding our kids back. 😶

We don't raise kids under pressure. We raise them in fear of failing.

From a young age they learn: don't make mistakes, don't fail exams, don't disappoint, don't take risks. And slowly that fear becomes who they are — they stop asking questions, stop experimenting, stop trying anything they're not already good at.

But every great entrepreneur, scientist and innovator failed — repeatedly. Failure wasn't their weakness. It was their teacher.

So what if we changed one thing?

"What marks did you get?" → "What did you learn?"

Rewarding perfection → rewarding courage.

Celebrating obedience → celebrating curiosity.

Because the future doesn't belong to kids who never fail. It belongs to kids who aren't afraid to. 🎓

The goal of parenting isn't raising obedient children. It's raising courageous adults.

📌 Save this for the next time your child fails — and send it to a parent who needs the reminder.

💬 Comment FEARLESS if you agree.

Everyone dreams of moving abroad — until they realise what India gives you that most countries simply don't. 🇮🇳

5 things Indians take for granted (but the world doesn't have):

1️⃣ Digital convenience — pay rent, transfer money, book a cab, order food, renew documents… all on your phone. India is one of the most digitally connected countries on Earth.

2️⃣ Service at your doorstep — groceries, medicines, laundry, food, technicians — delivered faster than most developed countries.

3️⃣ Food diversity — every Indian state feels like a different country. A lifetime isn't enough to try every regional dish.

4️⃣ Real human connection — friends become family, neighbours show up, festivals unite entire communities.

5️⃣ Opportunity — a small-town dream can become a startup, a creator career, or a global business. The next decade belongs to India.

India isn't perfect. But no other country combines scale, technology, opportunity, convenience and culture quite like it.

🌊 Indian rivers were never meant to become sewage channels.

For centuries, cities grew around rivers because rivers gave them life, identity, trade, culture and community.

But today, many Indian cities have turned their backs on their rivers.

What if that changed?

Imagine clean riverfronts across India with walking promenades, cycling tracks, parks, cafes, cultural spaces, tourism zones and public places where people actually gather.

Ahmedabad’s Sabarmati Riverfront showed what riverfront development can do when a city chooses to restore pride instead of ignoring its river.

India does not just need smart cities.

India needs cities that respect water, nature, public space and urban identity.

Because a clean river is not only an environmental issue.

It is a city planning issue.

A tourism opportunity.

A public health priority.

And the soul of a city.

A city that ignores its river eventually loses its soul.

Comment RIVER if you believe every Indian city deserves a clean, people-friendly riverfront. 🌊
