  • In July, we started our first cohort of Dugout programme. Five students/fresh graduates who came in with a clean slate are now honing their skills and picking up new ones, and we are just proudly watching them grow. Here’s our Dugout player Sanavi who has become a key member holding the fort for The Music Scene, growing as a social media manager and a researcher👩💻 If you are a team player and want to explore new ways to grow, then Dugout is for you.🔎 📝Registrations are open now: https://lnkd.in/gvwBNGDk

    The vibe creator of the music scene  It's been a little over two months now, and every Saturday still pulls me back to the same spot, Church Street, where the buskers decided to show up that week. I'm not a musician. I'm not performing.But somewhere along the way I became the person who's always there, moving to it, feeling it out loud while everyone else just watches or walks past. I guess that makes me a vibe creator of sorts, not on stage, just part of the crowd that makes the moment feel alive. No two Saturdays are the same. Some days I just stand there and listen, letting the music do all the work. Other days I can't help it; I'm dancing, fully in it, like the street was built for exactly this. I could have a dozen other plans lined up, somewhere else to be, something else to do and somehow I still end up there. There's something about that scene that just calls you back. It hasn't all been easy, honestly  But it hasn't kept me away. If anything, showing up anyway feels like its own quiet kind of stubbornness; the music, the people, the unpredictability of it all is worth more to me than the difficulties. Two months in, and Church Street on a Saturday has become one of the realest parts of my week. Pooja Rajkumari Prajuwal Panicker Koushik B S UnboxingBLR

    What if Bengaluru wasn’t just the city you lived in, but your playground? A place to try things. To solve problems. To build something from scratch just because you thought, “Why can’t we?” Because Bengaluru gives you plenty to work with. There are problems that need solving, stories that need telling, communities worth knowing, and ideas that are just waiting for someone to actually try them. And maybe you’re the kind of person who gets genuinely excited by that. You see a challenge and want to figure it out. You have an idea and want to build it. You see something happening around you and think, “Surely, we can do this better.” That’s where Dugout comes in. At UnboxingBLR, we’re opening up a little more of our playground. For the next 6 months, Dugout brings people into the work we’re doing across Bengaluru. You might work on a civic project. You might test something on the streets. You might work with a community. You might make content, research, build a creative idea, or end up doing something we didn’t even have a name for when you started. And honestly, that’s the point. We don't want to hand you a perfectly defined box and tell you what to do. We want to give you a problem, a city and the space to figure things out. You’ll build things, mess things up, learn and probably change your mind a few times. And hopefully, somewhere along the way, you’ll make something that makes Bengaluru a little better or at least a little more interesting. Bengaluru is the playground. Come play. 📅 Applications close: 25.09.26 Malini Goyal Prashanth Prakash Sajesh Nair K Koushik B S Nolan Pinto Prajuwal Panicker Kevin Noel Sequeira Pooja Rajkumari Abdul Razick Vishisht Vaishy Varshini S Form: https://lnkd.in/giGdhTf6 #Dugout #UnboxingBLR #Bengaluru #CivicInnovation #Community #Creative #Content

  • What if a footpath could tell you a lot about a city? Sounds like a boring topic. But look closer. A footpath affects how safely people move through a city. It affects accessibility, mobility, public transport, street commerce and how people experience public spaces. And yet, it’s one of those things we barely notice until it stops working. So we asked a deceptively simple question: Why does a footpath matter? Because sometimes, understanding a city starts with looking down.

  • 🚕 What if Bengaluru’s cab drivers had a ride-hailing platform of their own? Taxi driver groups are seeking a government-backed aggregator, citing concerns around fares, commissions and earnings on existing platforms. With the conversation around regulation and driver welfare gaining momentum, a new question is emerging: Can a cooperative, driver-focused model change the way Bengaluru rides? Would you use a government-backed cab app? 👀 #Bengaluru #Bangalore #BengaluruNews #BangaloreNews #TaxiDrivers #CabDrivers #RideHailing #BharatTaxi #NammaBengaluru

  • Bengaluru’s pet dogs could soon come under a new set of rules. The proposed policy could bring mandatory registration, microchipping, vaccination and sterilisation for pet dogs. along with possible limits on the number of dogs kept at home. The aim? More responsible pet ownership and better public safety. But the proposal also raises questions about pet limits, breed restrictions and how these rules would work in practice. The policy is still being drafted. Would these rules make Bengaluru better for both pets and people? What do you think? 👇 #Bengaluru #BengaluruNews #NammaBengaluru #PetDogs #PetParents

  • Bengaluru is opening a new Tree Park in Panathur on September 16. But the story doesn’t end there. A 150-acre forest in the same area is facing pressure from road and infrastructure projects, rapid urban development, encroachment and fragmentation. Creating new green spaces matters. Protecting existing forests matters even more. Are we adding green spaces while losing the ones we already have? #Bengaluru #UrbanPlanning #Sustainability #GreenSpaces #BengaluruToday
