Hi lawrence,
Iam a techie who has now worked in alomost all the prominent IT locations in India.
As far as I know Goa it willl be tough for u to find the talent base.
Bangalore has a gud talent base which has a very high attrition rate rate. Also apart from it the infrstructure is too bad.
Other options
DELHI(NOIDA/GURGAON)
Gud infrastructure with very gud reliable talent pool.Shoul explore these places. But better of the two is Greater Noida.
CHANDIGARH itz a green apple now. U dnt have a very big talent pool but if u r not gonna start a very specilaized kinda start up chandigarh could be a gud option. Infosys and DELL and QUARK have a huge base in IT related stuff in chandugarh. A city beautiful with low cost gud talent pool, low cost and infrastructure is kool and ofcourse the city is BEAUTIFUL.
Do lemme know if I could be of any help
regards
manav

What we have in mind is a small operation where founding members of a venture will work together with a few others in the Indian office, getting a new business off the ground before bringing it online in the US. We see India as a place that enables us to self-fund a new startup, or bring it to a point where we can seek venture funding on favorable terms.

So I have paid particular attention to the option of setting up an office in Goa, a beautiful seaside region famous for its Portugese style architecture and beaches. Wages are lower there, and if wages comparable to Bangalore were paid, I think there would be no problem recuiting anyone in India to work there.
