Bengaluru CEO's Five-Year Experiment Finds Helmets Unstolen, Suggesting City Trust
Bengaluru-based BharatAgri CEO Siddharth Dialani and his wife have conducted a five-year social experiment by leaving their two-wheeler helmets unlocked to test the city's trustworthiness. Throughout this period, none of their helmets were stolen, suggesting a high level of trust in Bengaluru. The experiment sparked discussions online, with some attributing the trust to low income disparity, while Dialani noted that despite significant income differences, people maintain self-dignity and refrain from stealing.
