Gachibowli is in West Hyderabad; Rajendranagar is in South Hyderabad — they serve different office clusters. Professionals working in the West belt will almost always find Gachibowli faster; those in the South corridor should favour Rajendranagar.

Rajendranagar has the clear rent advantage — ₹17,000 cheaper per month for 2BHK.
