Chennai founder: Moving to Bengaluru was my best business decision

For many startup founders, choosing a city is almost as important as choosing the right business idea. Where a company is based can affect everything from finding customers and hiring employees to meeting investors and controlling expenses. For Harish Varadharajan, shifting his agritech business from Chennai to Bengaluru has proved to be a decision that changed both his professional and personal experience. A year after making the move, Varadharajan reflected on what the city had offered him and his company. In a LinkedIn post, he described the relocation in clear terms. “One year since we made the move from Chennai to Bengaluru. Hands down, one of the best decisions I’ve made personally and professionally,” he wrote.
