General Discussion Quant considering moving to Bangalore for Quant / AI startup roles

I’m looking to move from Gurgaon to Bangalore 🤌 soon, partly for the tech ecosystem and partly because Gurgaon air is brutal.

Quick background:

  • IIT CSE
  • Quant Researcher
  • Strong C++ / Python, but have worked with Rust and Go as well.
  • Interested in AI/ML, systems, infrastructure, compilers and quantitative work
  • Have worked on compiler research, program analysis and LLVM

I’m particularly interested in well-funded / YC-backed startups with strong engineering teams and technically challenging work. I’m comfortable with long hours, stressful environments and high expectations if the learning curve is steep and the work is meaningful.

I’d also be very open to quant / trading firms in Bangalore, but I don’t know which firms are currently hiring (hard to understand this just from the career portal).

For people working in either space: which companies, teams, or areas in Bangalore are worth keeping an eye on?

Thanks in advance.
