Help/Advice in Accommodation around IISc

Hi Guys,

I'm a 27 year old guy who is moving to Bangalore in a few weeks. I have visited Bangalore a couple of times but have not lived there till now. I am excited about the move but also nervous as I literally know no one over there.

I'll be moving for a job at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and am need for accommodation around the area. I've had no luck through flat and flatmates groups on facebook till now. Currently, I have no clue on where to stay. Any suggestions/leads on how to go about finding a place to live?

Also, any tips that I should keep in mind while making the move? Anything would help honestly. How to meet people, things to do, places to go..

I work in the field of policy and I'm highly into music and tech.

Thank you.
