Where do I meet Interesting women?

TL;DR : Asking for ways to meet women to date, in my present situation. Hi, so I am 30M. you might have come across my previous posts about getting into dating scene after long time blah blah. So I have no prior experience with dating. So I have spent years together for my career/ startup ( I know sounds snob, but shitty life really). Now I have finally decided that I am ready to date. There are many aspects of my life that have come back to bite me in my ass. For example, 1. I have zero friends now. I know its a gigantic red flag. I pushed away my friends, away, after some started putting me down after I dropped from Uni twice. Yes I am a dropout. 2. Because of the long gap , I am slow in learning the nuances of today's dating. 3. I come from a town an hour drive from Bangalore. Its a small one, so words travel fast, so no chance of dating anyone from here. And people here are just toxic , I cant wait to move out soon once I secure funding. 4. Not going to mingle with any relatives, as they are toxic and I have booted them out after my dad passed away. I decided to start afresh and build healthy circle from scratch. 5. Im not earning yet. All my worth is tied to my IP which will only be valuable if some company comes forward to buy it or I secure funding. My mother is a " moral investor" who is bankrolling me rn. 6. Tried dating apps because of the location and my potato canon photography, I get zero matches. 7. Tried sliding into DMs of women I find interesting here on reddit. ( Have only survived by talking to women all these years , coz it was responsibility and risk free, was able to focus on work) But thanks to our fellow Indian men, women are creeped out when someone DMs them. I see posts of women saying how creepy DM's they get. No matter how much polite I am or creative or I use AI or even some pickup lines, It could be seen as creepy after reading other creepy messages. 8. Since Im the only one in this startup, there are no colleagues at all. Also after I secure funding to hire people, I cant approach any women who will work for me. Cant shit in the same place we eat. 9. I come from an emotionally dysfunctional family with some traumatic past. I try everything in my power to rehabilitate myself and my mother, to increase our emotional quotient. I have only seen people romance in movies, learnt most of the things from movies. But later after talking to many women online, I realized real world is different, Since I spent too much years in online talks, its bit hard to transition from reel to real. 10. I tried to find love online, considering my circumstances, like I saw a lot of ldr s happening, as was again less on responsibility and risks. But never worked out. later switched to sexting as it was easier and gave me the validation of being desired. I have spent years together in that purgatory, now i feel like a ghost stuck inbetween the worlds. Even when I text someone, somehow that chat goes to sexual talks, and then either it works or not, at the end, that person is gone. 11. Most of my hobbies are men/nerd related ones. If I have to meet anyone with similar hobby, I have to pick new ones, like art, dance or something or I am planning to seek therapy soon, maybe the nearest option is seek appointment for therapy from a good looking therapist and ask her out (JK :P) Ever since I hit 30 recently, And i feel like my time is running out, and in this day and age of super competitive dating scene, If I dont wake up I will perish. 12. Many a times I get a feedback that I am not confident when it comes to women. Its not like I cant face women, Its more like I feel Im not yet successful. I dont want to appear like a loser in front of a potential person. Usually men of my age will be well settled in their careers and have good savings. Though I can pitch about my startup and my potential, it is still about future returns and not current. Some do show interest when i utter the word startup and then lose interest when I say its yet to make money. This is my situation. Where should I look for interesting women? In general and also in and around Bangalore.
