“No. See, we can hire anybody from any part to come and work in Bangalore. For youngsters, the first choice is Bangalore. Then it is Pune or Hyderabad. That’s what our study shows. I can go to Kolkata and hire 5,000 people every year. We need not be there. So for people like us, it does not matter where we are.

Look how will you get good housing? Housing is pathetic in Mumbai”
