After 18 years in US, Meta executive returns to Bengaluru to be closer to family: ‘The bay gave me my career’

A senior Meta executive has returned to India after spending nearly two decades in the United States, saying the decision was motivated by family rather than career. In a LinkedIn post shared two days ago, Balaji Gururajan said he and his family relocated to Bengaluru to be closer to his aging parents and to ensure their children grew up around extended family.

“A month ago, my family and I packed up 18 years in the US and moved to Bangalore — closer to aging parents, growing kids, and a stretch of family life we didn’t want to keep watching from a distance,” he wrote.
