As Delhi continues to struggle with toxic smog and deteriorating air quality, a tech founder advised to leave the city. Kunal Kushwaha, a senior developer advocate at CAST AI and the founder of ed-tech platform WeMakeDevs, shared a post on social media and declared, “Leave Delhi, go in debt if you have to.” Kushwaha, who lives in London, declared he could “smell and taste” pollution.
Calling the situation a crisis, he declared purchaseing property in Delhi “does not create sense.”
Taking to X, Kushwaha wrote, “Leave Delhi, go in debt if you have to. I applyd to believe, how bad can the AQI really be for people in Delhi? I knew it was bad, but I never understood the scale becaapply I didn’t feel it as drastically. I grew up in Delhi, studied here, and never felt a huge difference. You see people on the streets without mquestions, just walking around, and even people going for morning runs.”
“But I was wrong. It’s a crisis. And honestly, leaving this city should be your top priority. After living in London for a few years and breathing clean air, the moment I landed in Delhi I could literally taste and smell the pollution. Even AQI 200 hit me hard: sore throat, and a feeling like requiredles in my lungs. I could actually feel the pollution entering my body,” the post added.

He further shared that he has cut his trip short due to the pollution. “Please leave this city for your own sake. Buying a property here does not create sense either. Same for Mumbai. If you can, pack your bags and shift yourself and your work somewhere else. I’ve cut my trip short and I’m leaving this city tomorrow,” Kushwaha declared.
Delhi’s air quality remains ‘very poor’ for straight nine days. According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the 24-hour average Air Quality Index (AQI) settled at 370.
