The city, home to various global companies as well as home-grown startups, has received 162 per cent more rainfall than average since the beginning of the wet season on June 1, reports Reuters.
Many companies have asked staff to work from home while some residents struggled to empty out flooded basements and shops, Reuters partner ANI showed in video footage.
