Jonathan, you're always welcome to drop by the C42 Engineering office and chat us up. One of my colleagues, like you, has moved here from Canada, so maybe a conversation with him would be helpful. I'm personally not a big fan of shared workspaces in Bangalore, but I'll defer to the others on the

I agree with Jaaga comments. Jaaga is little noisy due to near by busy road, I would prefer that place if you don't get another place. You also find co-working spaces in many places as Bangalore runs a lot of startups and early stage companies ready to share per seat basis. I love the Jaaga idea
