Ashish Kacholia missed his flight from Bengaluru to Mumbai on Thursday
It was a result of Google Maps inaccurate estimation
The arduous journey took 3 hours as against 1 hour 45 minutes
Renowned investor Ashish Kacholia missed his flight from Bengaluru to Mumbai on Thursday after Google Maps inaccurately estimated the time it would take to reach Kempegowda International Airport (KIA). The airport, located over 50 kilometers from Bengaluru’s HSR Layout, is known for its distant location, which has drawn criticism from many.

Kacholia, co-founder of Hungama Digital, relied on Google Maps for his journey to the airport. The navigation app estimated that the trip would take 1 hour and 45 minutes, a time that seemed reasonable given the distance. However, the app failed to account for Bengaluru’s notorious traffic and unpredictable weather conditions.
Yesterday missed my flight from Bengaluru to Mumbai because journey took 3 hours instead of 1.45 as shown by Google maps.
Deeply grateful to Mumbai administration @mybmc for investing in infrastructure to keep traffic moving in maximum city.

As Kacholia embarked on his journey, the situation quickly deteriorated. Traffic congestion worsened, and the onset of rain further slowed the commute. What was initially projected as a 1 hour and 45 minute drive turned into a 3-hour ordeal, causing Kacholia to miss his flight.
Reflecting on the experience, Kacholia pointed out the shortcomings of relying solely on Google Maps for time-sensitive travel in cities like Bengaluru, where traffic can be highly unpredictable. The incident underscores the challenges faced by travelers in reaching KIA, a recurring issue given its remote location.
Kacholia’s experience highlights the need for travelers to consider additional buffer time when navigating through cities with challenging traffic conditions, especially when relying on digital navigation tools.
