I personally want to take up the first option since I'd get out of Chennai and working for a startup will be more fulfilling. I don't really enjoy testing and would be stuck in Chennai
From the sound of it, it seems you know what to do :)
15L at an Indian startup is really good. That also says that they are either funded or profitable. And since you aren't the first employee, you don't have that brand-new-startup risk.
I know people around me with the same amount of experience as you and get paid a lot lesser but they say they are satisfied and "can live with it". If I were you I would just choose the startup.
I'm a regular at Bangalore tech events (mostly attend hackathons) and the guys there are pretty close knit and good.
P.S: I'm from Bangalore and work remotely for a YC-funded startup.
