The man's viral video on relocating from Bengaluru to Hyderabad has prompted varied responses on Instagram.
A digital vlogger, who says he works at Microsoft, has gone viral after detailing the ₹3.6 lakh cost of relocating from Bengaluru to Hyderabad. Despite owning a home in Bengaluru, the techie and his wife had to start from scratch in a rented flat after a job transfer. Sharing their budget on Instagram, the vlogger broke down expenses like security deposits, rent, appliances, and furniture, while highlighting his wife’s sacrifice in quitting her job.
“Here’s how much it cost me to start a family from scratch in Hyderabad,” Krish, a digital vlogger, wrote on Instagram. His bio suggests he works at Microsoft.
He explained, “Recently, my wife and I moved from Bangalore to Hyderabad for my job. Even though we already own a house in Bangalore, we had to start over in a rented home. My wife also made a big sacrifice by leaving her job in Bangalore to move with me. From paying the security deposit and rent to buying furniture, appliances, and everyday essentials, we built our new home from scratch. In this reel, I break down exactly how much it cost us to start a new chapter in Hyderabad.
Krish shared that he and his wife rented a spacious 2 BHK in Hyderabad for ₹30,000, with a deposit of ₹ 60,000. He then details the expenses for other essentials, such as furniture and fitness equipment, before concluding the video with a final relocation bill of ₹3.6 lakh.

What did social media say?
An individual asked, “Location for the area/society around your flat, please. Where did you find 2bhk?” Krish responded, “Manikonda. It’s a standalone building.”
Another posted, “Great video! It's lovely to see you both. Your insights on starting a family in Hyderabad are really helpful. Is the location you're referring to in Hitech City or Gachibowli? Also, is your native place in AP, and do you have your own house in Bangalore? If you're okay, please answer bro.” Krish replied, “My parents are from Andhra. I was born and brought up in Bangalore. Yes, we own a house in Bangalore. I have recently moved to Hyderabad for work.”
A third commented, “Why does IT always want an employee to leave a rented house life? IT is now my biggest nightmare!” A fourth wrote, “Definitely not in budget.”
