Bengaluru Restaurateur Notes Eastern Workers More Willing to Work Late Shifts Than Locals

Abhijit Gupta, Bengaluru-based restaurateur and co-founder of brands like The Pizza Bakery, noted that workers from West Bengal and Northeast India tend to be more willing to work late-night shifts compared to local Kannadigas. While he acknowledged that many local employees work hard, he observed that locals often avoid closing shifts around 1 am. Gupta attributed this difference partly to Bengaluru's darshini culture and the motivation of eastern workers to earn before returning home, while emphasizing these are general trends with exceptions.
