Several people connected with Anand Mahindra's words on Vizag's upcoming glass bridge.

One of the users commented, “Completely relate to this! The #Vizagglassskywalk looks incredible, and it's amazing to see India joining the ranks of global architectural feats. Even if it doesn't make it to everyone's bucket list, it's something to be proud of as a landmark. For many of us, enjoying such heights through videos is honestly the best way safe, comfortable, and still awe-inspiring. Kudos to #Vizag for dreaming big!”
