Already there
Haryana state Millennium City (officially Gurugram since 2016) in the Delhi National Capital Region — India's most-developed corporate-office cluster, with most Fortune 500 India operations HQ here. DLF Cyber City, Sector 29, and the Golf Course Road corridor are the dense modern cores. Same India e-Tourist visa story (180 days/year). The structural draws are deep corporate-IT employment density, the most reliable Delhi-NCR infrastructure (Indira Gandhi Airport is 30min north), and meaningfully better air quality than central Delhi (though still poor by global standards). November-February is the AQI-and-temperature comfort window.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
