New Delhi <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

Vikram Chopra, the CEO of the Indian brand for used cars, Cars24, posted a hiring for his company on X on Thursday\u00a0(Dec 19) and it became a topic of debate on the internet. In his post, Chopra shared a graphic that said, \u201cStill can\u2019t speak Kannada after years in Bengaluru? It\u2019s OK. Aa jao Dilli. We are looking for engineers who wish to stay close to home”.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chopra wrote while sharing the graphic, \u00a0\u201cWe are not saying Delhi NCR is better. Only that it really is”. The post reignited the old-age Delhi vs Bengaluru debate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As Chopra’s post went viral, netizens started discussing regional biases in professional hiring.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One X user said, \u201cDelhi NCR has its charm, but before calling it \u2018better,\u2019 let\u2019s take a moment to consider the reality. A look at the crime data might offer a different perspective. Think twice before making the move”.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, another called Chopra’s update “tasteless” and wrote, \u201cMakes me think less of Cars24 employer brand and culture. There are more productive ways to highlight your qualities”.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One user called out the “language racism”\u00a0saying, “Please don\u2019t popularise this language racism more. We need to stand united”.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think any Indian metro city is worth hyping up. You could hype up the people and the culture, but not the city. That\u2019s where Bangalore wins and Delhi loses,” another wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bengaluru vs Delhi\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Bengaluru and Delhi have been a topic of debate on social media for a very long time due to their language and cultural differences. While residents of Bengaluru have been seen slamming Delhi for its crime rates and pollution, Delhiites<\/em> have been accusing Bengaluru of forcing people to speak Kannada in the city.\u00a0<\/p>\n
