In today's episode, we sit down with Ms Ashwini Bhide IAS officer, Municipal Commissioner of BMC and MD of Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation the person who built Mumbai's underground Aqua Line and now runs the city that moves 20 million people a day.
We discuss why Mumbai's Metro is the most expensive to build in Asia nearly ₹1,000 crore per km why the richest city got "lapped" by Delhi, the real reason Mumbai floods every monsoon, where BMC's ₹80,000 crore budget actually goes, and why the city's traffic will never end unless one thing changes.
Raw, first-principles, and deeply eye-opening this one will change how you see your city.
