Should you base in Bangalore?
The most credible India base for people who actually need to work full days, not just vibe around Goa.

overall fit
India has no dedicated nomad visa; most remote workers use tourist or business entry routes and keep work/income offshore.
The 182-day India tax-residency line is the key planning threshold for longer stays.
Excellent fixed broadband and mobile data in the right neighbourhood; apartment selection matters more than city averages.
Indiranagar, Koramangala, HSR, and CBD have deep coworking inventory with professional-grade workrooms.

About Bangalore
Bangalore (officially Bengaluru) is India's most nomad-ready city. The coworking scene is the best in the country — 91Springboard, BHIVE, WeWork, and CoWrks all have multiple locations. ACT Fibernet delivers 200–300 Mbps reliably. The climate is outstanding year-round at 900m elevation. English is universally spoken in professional contexts. The food scene — South Indian darshinis, craft coffee, international restaurants — rivals any Asian city. The trade-off is traffic, which is legendarily bad. Choose your neighbourhood carefully.
