Why I keep sharing this:
It’s not hype. It’s not a scene. It’s just genuinely useful for any founder trying to find momentum in Bangalore.
I end up recommending this to almost every founder who’s moved to the city or is here for a few weeks. It saves time, opens doors, and makes the city feel a little more yours.
