US Architect Criticises Delhi Airport Immigration and Duty-Free Shop Placement
American architect Damon Zumbroegel criticised the Delhi airport's immigration process and the immediate placement of duty-free shops, describing it as a harsh welcome and a 'buy buy buy' gauntlet. His video sparked mixed reactions online, with some users defending the airport's setup as common globally, while others found the sales approach aggressive. Industrialist Harsh Goenka also highlighted the issue, calling for a more dignified arrival experience. Zumbroegel clarified his critique targeted the airport layout, not India as a whole.
