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.
