@subichaturvedi Bengaluru has always led through innovation. A clear roadmap like this can help the city set new benchmarks for the world.

[Subi Chaturvedi @subichaturvedi]

A defining step in Bengaluru’s journey towards becoming the world's leading innovation metropolis was taken yesterday and it was my privilege to contribute to a conversation that will help shape the city’s next decade of growth, innovation and global competitiveness.

The first meeting of the High Level Senior Advisory Group on AI, IT, GCC & Digital Services, constituted by the Greater Bengaluru Authority to develop a Comprehensive Regional Economic Development Plan for the Bengaluru Metropolitan Region was remarkably steered by 𝗦𝗵𝗿𝗶 𝗠. Maheshwar Rao @GBAChiefComm , 𝗜𝗔𝗦, Chief Commissioner, GBA (@GBA_office), who has consistently demonstrated institution-building astute leadership, bringing together governance, infrastructure, and urban transformation to shape Bengaluru's emergence as a truly global innovation capital. One the best officers and leaders one could hope to engage with and demonstrates what leadership in action looks like.

Reinforcing that technology is no longer a sectoral priority but the foundation upon which Bengaluru's future competitiveness will be built, the deliberations benefited immensely from the presence and insights of 𝗗𝗿. 𝗡. 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗷𝘂𝗹𝗮, 𝗜𝗔𝗦,  Secretary, IT BT Department, Karnataka @ITBTGoK . She continues to exemplify the rare combination of strategic vision and execution excellence, positioning Karnataka at the forefront of India's technology, innovation, and digital transformation agenda.

The high-level meeting also saw the participation of Shri Raghunandan Murthy IAS, MD, keonics1 who's anchoring the entire exercise, and Shri M Chandrashekhar, Additional Director General of Police Internal Security Division who highlighted both scale and resilience. We also discussed smart policing and citizen centric governance.

Chaired by Shri Kris Gopalakrishnan @kris_sg , one of the country's most respected IT pioneers, mentor & statesman, the Advisory Group brings together a remarkable private sector coalition.

My inputs centred on six interconnected ideas:

𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆. 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗔𝗺𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
Make Bengaluru the world's leading AI-powered innovation metropolis by 2035: #1 for AI R&D in Asia, largest GCC ecosystem globally, top-5 startup city, India's cybersecurity capital.

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲
Evolve Bengaluru's ICCC into an Urban Intelligence Platform: predictive analytics, AI-driven governance, climate resilience modelling.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲
The gap isn't knowledge generation. It's a translation. A connective layer above existing CoEs to move from
Research → Industry �� Government → Society, and Ideas → Pilots → Policy → Scale.

𝗔𝗜 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵
Bengaluru hosts 50% of India's AI talent, the world's 2nd largest AI hub. The ask: AI Innovation Districts, shared compute, public-sector sandboxes and global AI standards set from here.

Cybersecurity as Infrastructure
Trust is as fundamental as roads and power. Bengaluru has the companies, institutions, and talent. With a unifying vision it can be India's Cybersecurity Capital with Q Hub.

𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁
Technology attracts companies. Quality of life attracts talent. Education, healthcare, walkability, housing are economic infrastructure, not amenities.

Big congratulations to Shirish Sankhe and the team at ISEG Foundation for the heavy lifting. Many thanks to fellow members Sunil Deshpande, @TCS, @birenghose, Bhaskar Verma @bhaskar2415, Adnan Furniturewalla @Zinnov and Entr. Madan Padaki @madanpadaki @TiEBangalore for their sharp insights and powerful inputs; it great to see everyone coming together to chart Bengaluru's next growth trajectory and I am delighted to be a part of this incredible group of leaders.

The next chapter of Bengaluru's story will simply not be about becoming bigger. It'll be about being the world's most trusted, innovative, and livable technology metropolis. I look forward to continuing to contribute to this journey.

Thank you Madhuri and team Keonics for being great hosts!

Say goodbye to Bengaluru’s traffic snarls. Here's a glimpse of the newly completed 300-foot-wide Major Arterial Road (MAR), connecting Mysuru Road and Magadi Road. Set to open to the public soon, this landmark infrastructure project will enhance connectivity and ease traffic movement across the region.

Namaskara @CMofKarnataka 😅🙏

[Manivannan P 🇮🇳 @Captain_Mani72]

You need not attend in person. You can attend on VC.

But, there is no other option except to attend the open review meeting as all administrative discussions and decisions in BDA happen only in open house mode nowadays for the sake of transparency and accountability.

Please attend to know why there is delay. If delay is due to any individual then BDA will take action will against such officials. If there are other extraneous reasons like rain, court case etc we can’t blame BDA for that.

Hope you get the point. Take care. Good night!👍🏾😊

The Secretariat will function as a dedicated Grievance Secretariat to address, monitor, and resolve issues faced by the public in an efficient and timely manner.
We are delighted to note that a similar system has already been successfully implemented in the #BDA . 1/2

Congratulations @Captain_Mani72 sir on completing one year as #BDA Commissioner.

Your focus on citizen-centric governance and transparency has been an inspiration. Wishing you continued success.

#Karnataka & #Bengaluru is blessed to have a dynamic IAS officer & Present #BDA Commissioner Sri P. Manivannan @Captain_Mani72 sir (IAS, 1998 batch) , who had initiated major citizen-centric reforms at BDA between June 2025 and June 2026.

🔹 A Citizen Assistance Cell and Open House Meetings improved grievance redressal, with about 67% of complaints resolved.

🔹 Long-pending land and property issues were expedited, including resolution of a 26-year-old sale deed case.

🔹 BDA prioritised vertical housing, planned urban development, and improved amenities in Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout (NPKL).

🔹 Enforcement against building bylaw violations was strengthened while transparency and public engagement were enhanced through direct citizen interactions.

🔹 BDA actively supported key Bengaluru infrastructure projects, including the PRR, Hebbal corridor improvements, and airport connectivity initiatives.

Congratulations sir , on successfully completing one year as BDA Commissioner. Wishing you many more years of impactful leadership and service. 🎉👏
