No, it's cheaper because of huge difference in cost of living.

$10,000/month may not go far in SV, but in parts of India, you can live like a king, literally, with servants and such.

Rent for a studio apartment in India will cost less than $200. I'm not kidding. But a similar space in SV can cost 10 times more of that.
