US-Returned Venture Capitalist Attributes Reduced Dining Out in India to Urban Infrastructure

Nitisha Bansal, a US-returned venture capitalist, shared on LinkedIn that she rarely eats out after moving back to India, preferring to host friends at home. She attributed this change to urban challenges like heat, noise, dust, and crowded footpaths, which contrast with the inviting public spaces she experienced in the US. Bansal highlighted that Indians eat out less frequently than Americans, linking this to infrastructure issues that affect social behavior and economic activity, and suggested improving public spaces to encourage outdoor socializing.
