A startup founder's list of reasons why she prefers Hyderabad to other metropolitans like Mumbai and Bengaluru is viral on social media with many users agreeing with her pointers.
Shweta Kukreja, founder of The Marketing Anatomy claimed to have lived in the city for a year, and added that Hyderabad is underrated "in terms of everything".
"Lived in Hyderabad for a year and I would, any day, choose Hyderabad over Bangalore and Mumbai," she wrote on X. "This city is so underrated, in terms of everything. Less traffic (comparatively), ORR Road for airport (bestest), greenery (literally everywhere), aesthetics (unreal), food... Need to hype this city up!"
Answering a question about safety, Kureja said, "Yes. Hyderabad is safe as well. I have been out till 2-3 (am) sometimes and it's quite safe in that way. Rest it depends where you’re staying."
Several X users, however, requested not to hype Hyderabad as it may result in the city becoming overpopulated and ridden with problems, as with Mumbai, Pune, and Bengaluru.
"Please do not hype it up. Do not want it to turn into the next Bengaluru or Mumbai," commented user @KillerTrader_, while another user Kiran Khedekar (@Kiran_Khedekar) added, "We hyped Pune and it's so messed up! Don’t hype! Say Hyderabad is average or mediocre!"
There were, however, some who disagreed.
"Lived in Hyderabad for eight years. Ran away within a week after resigning big MNC job. One of the reason was the city and its isolation from entire world. No one passes through, for a north indian, except if Hyd is destination for work purposes. Nothing to see around," said Bot man (@botyetnotbot).
Another user Syed Mehdi (@staquim) wrote, "Lived for six years in Hyderabad, moved to Bengaluru. Hyderabad outside Gachibowli is still a tier 2 city. Professional life is a bit on the laid-back side. Limited hangout options within or near the city. No good libraries. Bengaluru is more cosmopolitan with fast-paced life, great libraries, and weekend getaways."
