Biocon founder Kiran Mazumdar Shaw recently criticized Bengaluru's poor civic infrastructure, comparing it unfavorably to Ecuador.
Sharing a picture of San Cristobal Island’s clean streets, she remarked, "Bengaluru, hang your head in shame."
Her post sparked mixed reactions on social media. Some users agreed, pointing out that Indian cities like Mysore, Indore, and Surat are cleaner.
Shaw defended her stance, stating that even Ecuador, a developing country, maintains better infrastructure.
Others highlighted India's higher self-perception, with one user noting, “We see ourselves above developing nations.”
Several comments linked governance failures to Bengaluru’s issues. Some blamed political mismanagement, while others argued that linguistic concerns overshadow civic demands.
A user even compared India's struggles with Latin America’s better infrastructure, criticizing corruption as a key factor.
