Karnataka’s IT Secretary Srivatsa Krishna lashed out at Cisco and asked them to get smart city solutions that will work in real India, not sell routers and solutions in controlled environments.

He was speaking at the CISCO Smart city Model for digital India programme at the Cisco campus and said that Cisco failed in providing an effective parking solution for Bangalore.

The National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM) President R. Chandrashekhar said, saying such smart city ideas will work in cities such as Amsterdam and Barcelona and not in India, is not the way we should think.
