CEO of Bombay Shaving Company, Shantanu Deshpande, is saying that Delhi is "1,000%" better for startups than Bengaluru, just like Zomato's Deepinder Goyal said. Deshpande believes that Delhi's all about sustainable, high-quality businesses, making it a way better place for entrepreneurs compared to Bengaluru's trend-chasing vibe.

Delhi vs Bangalore: For startups- Grapevine

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Bangalore has the early advantage of being the start-up capital, there are other cities which are catching up. Delhi NCR is seeing a significant growth in the number of startups that are going big. With startups reaching upto 2000 and more in Delhi is will soon become a hub for innovation overtaking Bangalore, Delhi NCR is the 2nd best startup ecosystem in India. Mumbai has also seen a significant growth but it will be tough to beat the other two cities with the infrastructure involved. Pune can definitely be the next in contention.

My friend was a B.Tech. graduate in 2019 from a Bangalore-based university. She could not complete campus placements in Bangalore due to multiple backlogs and she had joined a startup that was in the seed stage. She completed her graduation in 2020, and her startup also collapsed as it was running out of funds. In a few months, she joined another startup in Bangalore, that was in the seed stage. She completed her graduation in 2020, and her startup also collapsed as it was running out of funds. In a few months, she joined another startup in Bangalore, which was in the founders ran with theVC money. After a year, she joined a mid-cap startup with 2 years of experience, and she was treated as a fresher due to her previous companies not being able to give her a BGV and she had to start from scratch. She now works at IBM as application development with a good package, and last week she got collapsed as it was running out of funds and in few months she joined an other startup in Bangalore which is fin tech which was bankrupt as the founders ran with the vc money and she joined after a year she joined a mid cap startup with 2 years of experience and she was treated as fresher due to her previous companies not able to give her BGV and she had to start from scratch and now she works in IBM as application dev with good package and last week she got married too

Anyone know of any good companies and startups based out of Delhi? I just see 99% of decent companies based out of Bangalore

Startups in Delhi?

Hi Bangalore folks,

I would be moving to Bangalore for the first time next month. I am a startup founder in early 20s and our current team strength is 4 founders (to go to 7-8 by end of year)

I was wondering what would be the best location in Banglore to set up a small office (within co-working spaces mostly) alongside getting a nearby 3BHK house for the 4 of us

* Flat would be for 4 of us, and tentative budget is 60K collectively
* We don't need to visit The Koramangala-indirangar area frequently but would like to stay close
* I don't know if possible but an area with greenery+ less traffic would be great (for ex- a gated society would work well)

Any suggestions on area we should look for?

Best place to set up startup office in Bangalore?

Founder

We are a digital marketing agency focused on helping startups (funded). We are currently remote with the team spread across the country.

I'm contemplating moving base to Bangalore - a lot of folks say that Bangalore is the place to be for my business. 

Need some real advice, would me being physically present in Bangalore help my business? 

Do startups prefer Bangalore based agencies vs other city/remote agencies?

Growth And Strategy

Hi folks! Am new to the city, working for an MNC and recently got the role of Project coordinator (similar to PM) but along with this, I want start exploring the startup ecosystem here in Bengaluru. Am still figuring out my niche. Could you guys please suggest what kind of events I should attend to meet people, what are some of the X (Twitter), Reddit, Instagram or any other such SM pages to follow so that I am relevant with the things happening here? I am up for part time jobs and apprenticeships if available to start immediately or after skilling up myself with the requirements.

PS. As I am still finding my niche, any sector is good enough to begin with, but since I am a Biomedical Engineering Graduate, I would prefer something in the Medtech arena.

Exploring start-up ecosystem in Bengaluru.

Project Coordinator

I do not know why, but the startups at Bangalore (not unicorns), which are reputed but established but other startups saying they feature innovation , product-based innovation, increasing innovation, etc are all shit as most of their revenue comes from clients, and once they walk out, they are closed up, In last week, 3 of my friends got laid off and there are really tough times ahead. 

Any one here has experience with shitty startups in Bangalore?

Bangalore startups are useless

What are some of the good startups in Bangalore - HSR - Koramangala - Indiranagar?

Let's face it, bangalore is expensive, in terms of value for money. 
There are so many infrastructure issues.  Travel issues etc

But at the same time, Bangalore is the major leagues for tech in India. 
Events, meetups, startups all are prevalent mostly in Bangalore.

Given all this, and having a choice on where you wanna stay, what would you choose?
1. Bangalore
2. Other city?
3. Lead Nomadic life, Travel around city to city,  state to state, country to country?

Given a choice that you can stay anywhere,  would you choose Bangalore?

I am planning to settle down in one particular city in the next  3 to 5 years. I am currently evaluating Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune. 
From long term perspective ( for next 20 to 30 years) Which city will offer better job prospects ( IT/Software Development/Product Management/Strategy related jobs) along with a decent life style supported by satisfactory amenities like  Gated housing options which are not super expensive, Good schooling options for kids, Decent commuting facilities like Metro, wide roads etc. 
Interested to hear feedback from folks who went through or going through this dilemma.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Which offer is better and why? 

Pune:
CTC: 20+ variable(no clarity on variable)
Company: Startup with 1 year hike cycle (bare minimum hike)
Company Size: More than 120
Reporting to: Business Head
Role: Core BD with slightly overlap of cross functional 
Stability: Slightly more than Bangalore one(I would say 1% more since they slightly work as lala company)

Bangalore:
CTC: 22 +12(Esops)
Company: Startup with 6 month hike cycle 
Company Size: Around 30
Reporting to: Founders
Role: Set up and lead the entire Business and cross functional roles(cr.functional offer better learning and growth tooo)
Stability: OK than Pune

Both the company are startups and in terms of stability the Pune one holds higher stability at company level(I would say 1% more than Bangalore) but since its sales roles so I think it doesn't matter. (as per LinkedIn the avg duration of sales folks is 11 month in Pune company)

Which offer is better in terms of growth prospect and considering that you want to move to higher role in the future or may be start again in future ?

Pune Vs Bangalore

I was wondering if Uttar Pradesh can be the next Bangalore. It has everything. It has a large population which is decently literate. It has IIT Kanpur, IIT BHU, NIT ALLAHABAD and other deemed universities. It has good connectivity to Delhi with Expressways and Highways. Crime is significantly down. It has the largest Airport coming in India Jewar International Airport. It has cities like Noida which already is an IT hub. 

I believe cities like Lucknow and Kanpur can be the next hub of investment and employment opportunities in India. They have their own metro projects for city commute and for long distance travel we have RRTS service that is a work in progress. To top it all Alcohol is not banned here unlike Gujarat.

I think with the right planning Uttar Pradesh can have several Bangalore-like tech hubs. What are your thoughts on this?

Can UP have the next Bangalore?

Which indian city is good to build a startup?

Building Startup

I'm a software engineer and have been living in Bangalore for over 3 years now and thinking of starting a family and settling at either Bangalore or Delhi NCR. 

I have seen the disaster infrastructure Bangalore has plus the very high cost of living and hence thinking of moving to Delhi NCR. 

Please give your inputs

Bangalore or Delhi NCR?

With Congress set to topple BJP in Karnataka, what impact do you think ot will have on Bangalore and the startup ecosystem? It is rumoured that some startups have politician money invested in them and their fortunes can go up and down depending on who rules.
