Having been here several times before, on work and study stints, it's not a new place, except that the city continues to be a growth magnet for all types of industries, not just technology based ones. It's the new Bombay/Mumbai, if you will, and additionally has the best weather among all metros.
My new stint here is as Director, Bangalore campus, with a reputed deemed university..Narsee Monji, or NMIMS for short. I started on the 25th, and already had a couple of Zoom meetings, and a couple of physically distanced meetings on site. We have two campuses, at Bannerghatta Road (saw bus nos. 365 and 366 which were familiar sights in 1982-84 when we lived at IIMB) and Koramangala.
We have some undergraduate departments (Commerce, Law, Economics and Science) as well as an MBA program. About 1200 students in all, though due to COVID, they are not here at the moment.
