Exit plan from Bangalore?

We are a couple in our late 20s. Have faced so much harrassment in bangalore from the localites. - it feels like hell. It is all glittering buildings with goons filled in every other street. For women, its feels pointless to stay safe here. If you don’t live in a gated society, forget about safety. Me being a man have been punched by localites once. Anyways, our career plan : We have experience at bigtech, now looking to start our own tech businesses. If that doesn’t workout, get back in corporate for a few years and then try again. We are both north indians. Which city is the best alternative right now? What’s important for us: - transport should be easy - access to cult, a few good outing spots, and smart folks around - cheaper than bangalore - safety, especially for women We have no interest in partying/clubbing so that doesn’t matter. Mumbai is expensive. Noida I cross out because I hear that it’s very unsafe. What about Gurgaon? I have considered Hyderabad and Lucknow. But few questions bother me: - is it possible to run a startup remotely from Lucknow? If we stay in Hyderabad, will we get technical talent to hire? - if we have to resort to coming back to corporate, at the age of 30, do they usually allow for remote option? For eg, Walmart, Google, Amazon, Microsoft etc. I don’t want to stay in blr at all. Please help guys. One option is leaving India but don’t want to stay faraway from my parents.
