Long term city to live in?

I am a Delhi person who has been living in Bangalore for the last 3 years. I like both cities (both have pros and cons) but I feel in a 10-15 year time frame, both are going to become unsustainable with traffic, safety, rising costs, infra issues and weather/air conditions (for Delhi)

From a long term POV, which Indian City is going to be the best city to live in? (factors)

Career Opportunities (could be job or a business as well)
Good infrastructure
Cleanliness and safety
Connectivity
Weather and sustainability
Living expenditure is average but has good quality of life

Which city will be the winner?

Probably tier2 cities,
Indore, Jaipur, bhopal, nagpur, nashik. I think the above problems are/will be there in pune too sooner or later

Not bhopal bro I heard the metro project is a disaster there, the roads were narrow and now the metro has occupied half of those roads. On top of that the IT industry is nominal there, any package above 9 lpa is considered Robbery by IT companies there.
Indore is a much better option, rent is feasible not too low but not very high, jaipur is also nice rent is lower than Indore, roads get flooded sometimes but that's fine. Indore I felt that has higher income potential.

Mumbai!!! Initially Mumbai will not accept you but once it does, you will never find another city better than Mumbai.

None... We are moving to a suburbia culture. Meaning, the best place to live would be 90-100 KM away from a nearest current T2 city.

Currently e very startup founder to Big MNC are still placing the offices in T1 cities and expanding there. The only reason they do is senior leadership have investment in cities and theywant to make money thru them. This leadership is mainly of people who entered the work force in the late 80's and 90's. T1 cities are on the way to becoming a urban slums. some are already there.
We have outliers like Zoho who have identified the potentials in Villages/small towns. I personally know 2 founders who moved from BLR to a small town. Humans are herd animals. This trend will catch up - especially with bootstrapped profitable companies. They will have small office in a city with minimal headcount, but major operations will be done from small towns. Buying RE in T1 cities would be the biggest financial trap of this generation.

Well explained. The urban infrastructure is crumbling in india. Teir 2 cities with close proximity to airports will win

Pune is good for north indians. If you are getting into service based companies don't opt for Bangalore or Hyderabad. After COVID most north indians have gone back to base locations near to home. There's hardly any diversity for Bangalore or Hyderabad locations. Better choose Pune in that scenario. If you are going for product based companies there is a good salary and diversity both. But city wise Hyderabad is good.
