Bengaluru, dubbed “India’s Silicon Valley” for hosting over 3,500 information technology companies, accounted for 18 per cent of all new jobs created in the country in 2021-22, a 2022 study found. The built-up area replaced vegetation to commensurately grow to 93 per cent of land use in 2020 from 37 per cent in 2002, putting “severe stress” on the natural drainage system that channels water into the city’s interconnected lakes, according to the report.
