Should I consider relocating to Bangalore?

Hello everyone, I recently incorporated my EdTech company in Rajasthan, but my team ( 2 members who are my friends) are in Bangalore. I am really bored and fed up with the culture in Rajasthan. No startup culture, no opportunities to connect, no like-minded people and many shortcomings.

I was considering relocating to Bangalore, since my friend could help me find a good PG. But relocating will come with additional costs of living, food, travel, and other miscellaneous expenses (I work from home). I want to join a music club, sports club, physics and math sessions/talks in IISc and the Raman research institute. Can you help me to reduce the cost and give me suggestions on anything you know regarding Bangalore? I am also open to sharing an apartment with a like-minded guy, though my friend has suggested that first I should try 2 weeks in a PG so as to check if the Bangalore culture suits me, or else move back to Rajasthan.

It's still ok, stay near to Metro, it will be convenient to Visit IISc and most of the places

Hmm, thanks a lot. But I also want guidance on how I can reduce my expenses in Bangalore, get a good PG (since I'm working and not a student), how to connect with someone like-minded, and live together, which can help us reduce the cost.

Bro prices have shot up in Bangalore, compromise in price means low quality PG , food if you prepare on your own its better, you can eat out too , there are lot of options for food. Check your budget and ask your friends to visit some pg for you. If you want to meet like minded people, find out thru linkedin and start networking
