Earlier in the day, she also visited Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar at his residence in Bengaluru. These visits came after the Mazumdar's recent highlighting of the "poor" infrastructure in Bengaluru.
In a post on X, DK Shivakumar wrote, "It was a pleasure to meet Ms. @kiranshaw, entrepreneur and Founder of Biocon, at my residence today. We had an engaging discussion on Bengaluru's growth, innovation, and the path ahead for Karnataka's growth story."
This comes after Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Biocon chief, expressed frustration over Bengaluru's infrastructure woes, citing poor road conditions and garbage management issues.
"If she wants to develop them (roads), let her do it. If she comes and asks, we will give her the roads," Shivakumar said while conducting the "Bengaluru Nadige (Walk for Bengaluru)" program in the KR Puram area.
Biocon Chairperson Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw on Thursday once again highlighted the issue of garbage management in metropolitan cities, including Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru.
"There is no match for Bengaluru in terms of infrastructure, human resources and innovation. Some people take the name of Bengaluru as they need it to market themselves," Shivakumar said, responding to the remarks made by Andhra Pradesh IT Minister Nara Lokesh.
Bengaluru has given opportunities, identity, and success to millions, and it deserves collective effort, not constant criticism, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar said on Tuesday.
Biocon Chairperson Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw raised concerns over Bengaluru's infrastructure after an overseas business visitor to Biocon Park questioned the city's poor roads and the amount of garbage around.
Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, the Executive Chairperson of Biocon Limited, refuted the allegation of the Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, in which he attributed more than twenty deaths due to heart attacks in the past one month in district of Hassan to COVID vaccines.
