‘We’ve decided to move out’: Worth ₹10,900 crore, BlackBuck exits Bengaluru hub over potholes

Nearly a decade in Bellandor, leaves BlackBuck, one of the leading digital truck platforms in India, its Ring Road (OrR).

the reason? No taxes, not policy – Potholes. CEO Rajish Kumar Yabaji announced the move in what he reads like a disintegration note, with the completion of broken expressive symbols, saying that the mobility has become unbearable for employees.

Yabaji, frankly, wrote: “The roads full of drilling and dust, along with the slightest intention to correct them. He said that the employees spend more than 90 minutes every day moving in the bomb -like extensions to reach work.

The departure of BlackBuck, which is worth more than 10,900 rupees ($ 1.3 billion) starting from September 2025, confirms the impact of the infrastructure that collapses Bangaluru badly even on the most successful companies in the city.

The company, which was established in 2015, is officially known as Zinka Logistics Solutions, digitizing the Ecological Truck Ecological System in India, and connecting trucks to truck operators through a technical model of technology. Nearly a third of truck drivers in India are active on their platform every month.

BlackBuck was published in late 2024 with a rating of 4,818 rupees, since then with the improvement of revenues and profits. In the Q1 FY26, the revenue of 143.6 rupees was recorded, an increase of 56 % year on an annual basis, with a net profit of 33.7 rupees. Its shows – matching pregnancy, digital fees, fuel management, and fleet analyzes – made them indispensable for large and medium -sized companies and individual truck drivers.

However, even the logistical services giant was unable to escape the infrastructure decomposition in Billandor. Once the IT boat in Bangaluru, ORR represents the silk panel and KR PURAM now Gridlock and civil neglect. Hato for more than 500 companies and about a million workers, traffic here increased by 45 % last year, according to Times of India.

The guarantee of Deputy Prime Minister DK Shivakumar that Bangaluru is “not a planned city” and cannot be repaired overnight. It has not done much to calm frustration. The former Infosys Company described the BlackBuck Exodus as a “major failure”, warning that the global city’s reputation is at stake. The Greater Bangaluru Companies and Technology Association also urged immediate action, calling for a road map to save the city’s position in the field of technology in India.

Pellandor residents say the reforms are clear: completed the metro line, concrete arterial roads, add buses, shuttle links, repair drains and pedestrian corridors, and provide the light of the working streets. Instead, they argue, politicians have ignored years of complaints while the area slides in a deeper dysfunction.

When he mocked Internet users, Pelandor became less than a technical center and more than “cleansing the workplace”.
