Rejecting an offer after accepting it

I recently got a decent offer. Recruiter asked me whether I want to wait for other potential offers before signing but I decided to sign as I thought that the market is bad and I might not get another offer.

Later I realised that I was lowballed in terms of cash compensation. Right now, I have been shortlisted for 2 more companies that pay very well and I think I can crack those offers.

The thing is, I like the first company a lot as their interview process and interviewers gave me a good idea of their work culture.

Ideally, I would want to join them but I also think that I can get a much better package, potentially 2x in terms of cash compensation.

Current offer in hand (good company): 18LPA fixed + 50LPA RSU vested in 4 years

Potential offers(decent company/ layoffs happened/happening): 25-35LPA fixed + RSU

I was also thinking that maybe I can go back to the first company after getting an offer from the second one and ask them to increase their initial offer or match it with the new one.

Any views viners?
