What are the pros and cons of living in Bangalore?

Expats, digital nomads and retirees living in Bangalore responded:

"Expats and digital nomads living in Bangalore often appreciate the city's vibrant culture, diverse cuisine, and friendly people. They also enjoy the city's relatively low cost of living, which makes it an attractive destination for those looking to stretch their budget. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the city's traffic and pollution to be a challenge. Additionally, the language barrier can be a source of frustration for those who don't speak the local language," remarked one expat in Bangalore.
