US-Returned Venture Capitalist Highlights Impact of Urban Infrastructure on Lifestyle and Spending in India

Nitisha Bansal, a US-returned venture capitalist, shared on LinkedIn how moving back to India changed her social and spending habits, notably reducing eating out. She contrasts India's urban environment—characterized by heat, noise, garbage, and obstructed footpaths—with the US's inviting streets, suggesting poor infrastructure discourages outdoor activities and affects consumer behavior. Bansal highlights that while India has developed strong delivery services, improving public spaces could boost economic activity and well-being.
