Balaji Gururajan, an engineering leader who spent about 18 years in the United States, has moved his family back to Bengaluru. Sources report that his career in the US included roles at major technology firms such as Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Meta, where he worked before leaving for India. In a post describing the move, Gururajan cites personal motivations rather than financial considerations. He says he is returning to be closer to his ageing parents and to spend more time with his children as they grow. The decision is portrayed as a shift in what he considers success, emphasizing family priorities alongside professional accomplishments. One account notes that he speaks about leaving the San Francisco Bay Area—where he built his career—and settling back in Bengaluru as a “new” and “humbling” experience. The post also attracts engagement from others who say they have had similar experiences of relocating to India after living overseas, with family-related reasons frequently mentioned.
