Entrepreneur Highlights Differences Between Walking Experiences in Bali and Indian Cities

Utkarsh Goklani, a Delhi-based entrepreneur, contrasted his experience walking 15,000 steps daily in Bali with walking in Indian cities. He described Bali's pedestrian-friendly infrastructure, limited vehicles, and peaceful streets as conducive to active living. In contrast, he characterized Indian streets as challenging due to broken footpaths, heavy traffic, and noise, linking poor infrastructure to lower physical activity and rising lifestyle diseases. Goklani emphasized that health culture requires supportive urban design, a view echoed by others sharing similar observations.
