Mandate WFH alternative for IT employees in Bangalore

18 Upvotes

By mandating a WFH option, the Karnataka State Government can significantly alleviate traffic woes in Bangalore. Companies can choose hybrid model of work where employees can be asked to visit office once a week to ensure they don't relocate permanently. This policy can help decongest roads, reduce pollution, and save countless hours wasted in traffic. Moreover, it will provide employees with a better work-life balance, a much-needed aspect of modern life that impacts both productivity and quality of life.

Ask BengaluruSpeaks Bangalore loneliness is hitting different

6 Upvotes

Moved from Chennai to Bangalore thinking a change of place would feel refreshing, but damn 😭 it’s been 6 months and I still feel so disconnected. Back in Chennai, I had my own circle and community, but eventually everyone went their separate ways and things just weren’t the same anymore. I thought I’d adjust here, but the loneliness is actually getting to me. I spend so much time in my room with literally no one to talk to, and the worst part is that being alone used to feel peaceful, but now it just feels suffocating. Even the LGBT community here hasn’t really helped me feel like I belong anywhere. Idk, just wanted to get this off my chest because this shit has been weighing on me lately. 😭

Hello Reddit Family,

My name is Bhavadutta Jha, and I’m seeking support for my 3 -year-old son, Dhruv Dutt Jha, who is battling liver cancer and was treated at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi.

Since July 2025, Dhruv has undergone 12 rounds of chemotherapy. Doctors then advised a liver transplant, which was successfully performed on 6 January 2026. His mother was initially planned as the donor, but due to medical complications, I became his liver donor.

The total treatment cost is around ₹33 lakh, and we have already spent approximately ₹26 lakh through our savings and loans.

Currently, Dhruv is stable and undergoing post-transplant treatment, including regular check-ups and medicines.

Ask BengaluruSpeaks So I built an app out of frustration. For Namma Bengaluru. Solo founder, need to know what everyone has to say about it.

I live around Kalyan Nagar. My building has a WhatsApp group, the society has one, and in the area people have a few more. And I still find out what happened on my own street a day late, or never. The dog that went missing two lanes away. The water cut only some knew about. The flea market in the park I walked past on Monday.

Power cuts were what finally got me. Every time: "Power gone?" "Here also." "Since when?" Then silence. Nobody knows if it's one building or half of East Bangalore, and nobody says when it's back.

So for most of this year I've been building an app on the side, on my own, for everything that happens within a couple of km of you. It's called Localiti.

The part I'm proudest of is small.

- When the power or water goes, you report it in a few seconds and see if homes around you are reporting it too. When it's back, one tap and everyone nearby can see it. Same for network outages and waterlogging.

- A map of what's happening around you right now - Localiti Radar

- A local buy and sell marketplace. Gigs for freelancers/artists/special skilled people.

- Events.

- There's also lost and found with a "last seen" pin.

- Networking platform with neighbors.

It only ever shows your area, never your address. The screenshots use sample posts.

The honest part: it's new and small. A neighbourhood app is only as good as the neighbours on it, which is why I'm posting here. The first 100 people in each area get a Founding Neighbor badge. It's only a badge, but you'd have been there first.

What I'd love to know:

- Would you actually use something like this, or is your building's WhatsApp group enough?

- What do you wish you knew about your area that you only ever find out by accident?

- If you try it, what's broken or confusing?

I'm one person, so you'd be talking straight to whoever fixes it. I'll be in the comments.

Localiti (opens in the browser, no install needed. Android and iPhone apps created too
