US Tech Millionaire Praises Indian Culture While Highlighting Air Pollution Crisis

Bryan Johnson, on a six-day India tour, shares admiration for local ingenuity but calls for systemic change to address severe air quality issues.

Bryan Johnson, a US tech entrepreneur focused on anti-aging, is visiting India and sharing his experiences on social media.
He praised India's work culture, particularly the concepts of 'bakchodi' (lighthearted banter) and 'jugaad' (frugal innovation), which resonated with his worldview.
Johnson criticized India's severe air pollution, comparing it to smoking multiple cigarettes daily, and urged for systemic solutions beyond quick fixes like 'jugaad.'
During his stay in Bengaluru, he highlighted a hotel offering 'clean air' as a luxury, contrasting the city's relatively better air quality to other Indian metros like Delhi and Mumbai.
His posts have sparked lively online discussions, with users jokingly suggesting he deserves an Aadhaar card for his embrace of Indian culture.
