A digital content creator who claims to work at Microsoft has revealed the financial impact of relocating from Bengaluru to Hyderabad. According to reports from Mint, Krish shared a detailed breakdown of expenses on Instagram, including ₹3.6 lakh in total relocation costs. The couple rented a 2 BHK apartment for ₹30,000 per month and paid a security deposit of ₹60,000. The remaining expenses covered furniture, home appliances, gym equipment and other household essentials needed to furnish their new residence.
As reported by Mint, Krish explained that his wife resigned from her job in Bengaluru to relocate with him for the work-related transfer. The couple chose to start over in a rented home despite already owning a house in Bengaluru. Krish revealed that their new apartment is located in Manikonda, a standalone building in the area. When asked about the location, he confirmed it is not in Hitech City or Gachibowli, though he noted his parents are from Andhra Pradesh and he was born and raised in Bengaluru.
According to Mint, the post attracted significant engagement from social media users curious about the couple's relocation experience. One user inquired about the location details, asking for the specific area and society around the flat. Another commenter expressed concerns about the cost, stating it was not within budget. The social media response included both positive feedback and criticism about the relocation expenses, with some viewers sharing their own experiences with IT sector relocations. Krish responded to location queries, confirming the apartment is in Manikonda and clarifying that his parents are from Andhra Pradesh while he was born and raised in Bengaluru.
As reported by Mint, the relocation cost of ₹3.6 lakh highlights the financial impact of work-related transfers in the IT sector. The case demonstrates the significant expenses involved when employees must establish new households in different cities, including security deposits, furniture purchases, and other essential items needed to set up a new living space. The video sparked discussion about the financial burden of relocations in the IT industry, with users questioning why companies often require employees to leave rented accommodation and start over in new cities.
