India, Oct. 1 -- Chennai-based startup Fragaria, is relocating its headquarters to Bengaluru, founder Harish Varadharajan announced in a viral post on LinkedIn/X.

"In Chennai, we gave it our all, building a global product and cultivating strawberries against all odds. But the climate, market access, supportive agriculture laws, expat livability, and Bengaluru's thriving startup ecosystem have made the move inevitable," Varadharajan wrote.

While the company's R&D farm will remain in Chennai, the relocation has reignited discussions about the challenges Chennai faces in retaining high-growth startups despite having talent and infrastructure.
