This is what came to my mind: Move out of India. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1088538

Move to a place where there's a good load of startup culture around, so you can network a bit. Bangalore, for starters.

I obviously meant I'm asking an open ended question. Can we not edit a post after submitting it?

if you don't have a location preference, of course Bangalore makes a perfect choice. Can find good incubation facilities and loads of advisers which are key. Also good access to Angels and VCs makes it easy to raise seed funding

I came across this sometime back, http://www.startupvillage.in/about-us/ Not sure how good or effective it is.

What i have heard is that you start in a place like Bangalore or Pune where there is already a community and infrastructure around startups. And that it is just way harder to do it in other places (i am assuming this mainly pertains to attracting talent).

Do you know of any well known facilities provider - desk space and internet - to be used by individual hackers (in Pune/Bangalore) ?
