Field notes

India's tech anchor — sitting at 920m altitude means the brutal Indian heat is meaningfully softer than Mumbai or Delhi. Indiranagar, Koramangala, and HSR Layout are the nomad neighborhoods. Same e-Tourist visa story as Mumbai (180 days max). Traffic and water-supply scheduling are the daily friction points.

Sitting at 920m altitude means perpetual mild weather — 21–27°C all year, with no real summer in the Indian sense. Two rainy seasons (June–September main monsoon, October–November retreating monsoon). Best windows are November–February (dry, cool nights) and the brief pre-monsoon March.
