Bengaluru 2040

Bengaluru 2040 Summit highlights: City can be infrastructurally more welcoming to film industry, observes Samyukta Hornad

It's been a great day at the Deccan Herald Bengaluru 2040 summit, where some of India’s most influential policymakers, corporate titans, entrepreneurs, activists, and artists came together to plan a roadmap for ‘India’s Silicon Valley’. Sitaraman Shankar, CEO, TPML & Editor, Deccan Herald started by cementing that there is more to the city than being a pensioner's paradise lost. Dr Ballal, Chairman of Manipal Hospitals, doubled down with his vision for healthcare in the future. Following this, both CM Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM D K Shivakumar spoke of ways to bring infrastructural developments as Bengaluru makes forward strides. Priyank Kharge, when speaking of Bengaluru as the world's tech lab, noted that people of Karnataka are now increasingly involved in the tech world while entrepreneur Madan Padaki observed that Bengaluru has moved beyond the classic outsourcing model- creating tech for the US to an entrepreneurial model of creating new tech. The panel on climate change addressed Bengaluru's pressing problem - water. Other panels like the one on food focused on sustainability, while the education panel brought up the advantages of interdisciplinarity. The final panel of the day on films looked at cinema in Bengaluru and what the future holds. Thank you for following our updates and we hope to see you next year again for more ideas on what the future of Bengaluru might look like.
