Mike in India: Move Roadmap
A practical checklist for making the India lane real
The India lane needs more than ideas. It needs an operational roadmap that turns "maybe" into a series of clear decisions.
1. Lock the non-negotiables first
- passport, visa pathway, and entry timing
- banking, payments, and access to core accounts
- phone, connectivity, and device recovery options
- document storage with backup copies in at least two places
2. Stabilise the digital base
Before the move, the digital system has to be boring and reliable.
- keep GitHub, domains, and admin credentials organised
- make sure knowandguide.com can be updated from a clean laptop workflow
- finish auth/storage hardening for the India Travel Assistant lane
- reduce any dependency on scattered notes or fragile login paths
3. Decide the first landing pattern
The first question is not "What will India become forever?" It is "What is the first stable base?"
- where to stay initially
- how long to commit before changing location
- which area best supports spiritual, practical, and business goals
- what level of transport independence is needed immediately
4. Separate three kinds of India work
Personal transition
Housing, health, routine, community, daily systems.
Business exploration
Projects like travel assistance, local opportunity mapping, or service ideas connected to the move.
Public storytelling
What belongs on Know & Guide as useful, structured public content rather than private notes.
5. Build the first 30-day operating rhythm
- weekly review of logistics and blockers
- one India-related public post or update per cycle
- clear tracking of expenses, tools, and contacts
- ongoing notes about what is working versus what is friction
Recommended immediate actions
- Create a single working checklist for the move.
- Identify the top 3 account/security items that must be hardened first.
- Keep the India lane on the site active with practical updates, not just concepts.
- Use Know & Guide to document decisions that will still matter later.
If the first post created the lane, this roadmap gives it traction.
