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.
