Bengaluru’s notorious traffic jams have found yet another critic — and this time, it’s a familiar face from India’s startup world.
Zepto co-founder Aadit Palicha recently admitted that his biggest struggle in the city isn’t scaling a startup or managing logistics, but simply getting to the airport.
Speaking on a podcast, Palicha confessed that traveling from his home to Kempegowda International Airport is “the most painful thing” in his life right now. “That’s like the most painful thing that I have to do one or two times a month,” he said, adding with a laugh that he’d be “very happy” if companies actually managed to solve Bengaluru’s congestion problem.
Palicha’s remarks strike a chord with millions of Bengaluru residents who spend hours in traffic every day. Despite its position as India’s tech capital, the city continues to struggle with road infrastructure, rapid urbanisation, and increasing vehicle density.
As Bengaluru works toward sustainable mobility solutions — from metro expansions to last-mile connectivity initiatives — Palicha’s comment underscores how even the most successful entrepreneurs can’t bypass the city’s everyday hurdles.
