Bengaluru Mall’s Expectant-Mother Parking Goes Viral, Draws Calls for Wider Adoption

An Instagram reel spotlighted Nexus Malls’ wider, clearly signed bays near entrances, reflecting a growing Pink Parking trend.

Overview

  • The footage posted by Instagram user Akshay Raina showed a signed “Reserved for mothers to be” section in a Nexus Malls basement in Bengaluru.
  • The area features soft pink decor with floral artwork, wider slots placed closer to entrances to ease access for pregnant shoppers.
  • Comments on the reel were largely favorable, with many urging other malls to copy the setup, while some questioned verification and potential misuse.
  • Coverage places the bays within established Pink Parking practices seen on Bengaluru’s Brigade Road and at malls such as South City Mall and Lulu Mall, with similar ideas used abroad since the 1990s.
  • News reports cite user-generated video rather than an official announcement, and there is no indication of a broader policy change beyond the featured location.
