Last night, 2 hrs 15 mins from Indiranagar to the airport. All because of a little rain.

Had given up on making it to the flight. Blaming politicians in my head. Wondering how we ever expect world-class talent to move here.
But then only 9 mins from the entry to the departure…
However, the situation was vastly different upon reaching the airport. Sharma noted that it took him just nine minutes to get from the entrance to the departure gate.
He credited DigiYatra and the airport's efficient management for this seamless experience. Sharma praised both DigiYatra and the airport operations for the quick transit from entry to the departure gate.
He wrote, "Yet another day of life made bearable by world-class digital infrastructure in a city with third-rate physical infrastructure."
Sharma's experience highlighted the stark contrast between the two hours and fifteen minutes it took to reach the airport after the rain and the mere nine minutes required to navigate from the entrance to the departure gate.
