Bengaluru Airport Staff Use UPI To Reunite Techie With Backpack in Minutes: 'This Tech City...'

Amid ongoing news of Bengaluru's traffic and civic infrastructure problems, a story of integrity and efficiency has emerged to restore the public's faith. In a now-viral post, a techie detailed how within minutes of losing his bag at the airport, he was reunited with it after airport personnel used his UPI transaction history to track down his shuttle.

The techie, identified as Jaskaran Singh, said he boarded a BMTC KIA shuttle to Kempegowda International Airport, and realised just before check-in that he had forgotten his bag on the bus.

"Forgot my backpack on a kia shuttle bus to Bangalore airport and realised just before check-in," wrote Singh in an X (formerly Twitter) post.

Unable to trace the bag, Singh approached the airport staff, who used his UPI transaction details to locate the bag.

"Staff traced the bus number using my UPI transaction and got my bag back. Love how this tech city solves everything. Huge thanks to Mr Ravi for the help," wrote Singh
