Bengaluru techie prefers 2-hour daily commute after seeing sky-high rents, drops plan to move closer to office

Bengaluru's rental market is pushing tech professionals to their limits. A city techie considered moving closer to her office, just 10 kilometers away. However, she found 1 BHK apartments in gated communities priced between ₹30,000 and ₹40,000. This led her to abandon the relocation plan, opting instead to continue enduring a two-hour daily commute.
