Shifted my Startup From Bangalore to Portuguese Pad in Saligao
Hey Goa reddit
I just had to share this journey we've been on lately. A few months ago, my team and I made the leap to move our data startup from Bangalore to North Goa. Why? We felt we needed a change of scenery and improve quality of life.
Im american btw but ive lived here for like ~5 years so I knew about goa and had been here before a few times
Anyway, we found this charming old portuguese place next to a farm (where there is a literal farmer named farmer bob who tills the soil with oxen) that needed a ton of love. Fast forward to today, and after countless weekends of DIY projects, painting, laying new floor, tiles, cleaning out all these old artifacts (dont worry we didnt throw them away) and some serious brainstorming sessions, I genuinely feel we've transformed it into a cozy and inspiring workspace.

Check out the inside! There's still a bit more tweaking to do, but I'm proud of how far we've come. The blend of traditional Goan architecture with our modern tech vibe is something special. Plus, the peaceful environment has boosted our productivity big time.
We're growing the company now in goa, so feel free to drop a comment or send a DM to say hello. Always open to connecting with like-minded folks!
Cheers yall
