Two companies…I won’t reveal the name now so please understand and help.

Company 1 gave me good ctc (12LPA) when no one was giving considering my cctc (3.2 LPA) my expectation was 10 they gave me 12 fix. ( I was holding Infy offer of 7 LPA). The HR was really nice and so every process.

Now the Company 2 is giving 14 LPA and its in my hometown.

The Company 1 uses legacy tech (no cloud and containers) whereas Company 2 uses trending tech like cloud and containers.

What should I do?

If you were so indebted with what company 1 did to you, why did you still keep looking?

Practically speaking , second has all advantages over 1 . If you feel guilt and take first one - after few days you will feel guilt about why didnt I choose second for sure.
Write down pros and cons for both and keep in view about flexibility with family and stuff and then take a wise decision.
All the best

If you are feeling guilty to inform HR, then do this way:

You have got some urgent medical urgency in your home and you need to postpone joining 1 month later and would need 6 months WFH for sure..
Then HR will itself rejects you

Bro, i can understand you being emotional here but honestly you just need to be professional (switch off your heart & switch on your brain). Simply tell company 1 that you have received an offer now from elsewhere for the interview that you gave BEFORE you accepted their offer. Explain to them why company 2 works better for you in brief & conclude by respectfully declining the offer, I suggest do not bring up the topic to match company 2 offer, that is just going to complicate things & put you in a difficult situation.

Hope this helps 👍

Job market is driven by demand, supply and project resource requirements, unless one of the companies were FAANG/MANGA no one deserves to be selected/rejected, it's mostly like going to market and selecting apples and oranges, you see which one looks good from outside and put it in basket.

Never give a damn to any company because companies never do. You would have heard stories of Amazon rescinding offers in the day of joining. There are multiple such cases. Accenture fired me after multiple years of good work and getting new business. They also gave me 70-80% hike in 3-4 years. So companies are ruthless you should also be. Just be kind and compassionate to your colleagues and people around you. Be selfish here and choose the best option for you.

Think in this way skip the pay part (think extra 2L you are getting as bonus) and then think you what all differences between comp 2 n comp 1. You can provide those reason to comp1 for declining not just the money..

Generally people don’t have it all i.e. money+home town+good tech stack.

You are getting it dont let it go just by guilt be thankful to them for the opportunity but comp2 is in your hometown a major flag to go for comp2.

Old tech stack and 2L less. These two reasons are enough to switch to 14L offer. Don't let HRs sweet words melt you.
Good tech stack is really important for your career growth. It becomes real hard to switch companies if you work on legacy code.
Now, choose between HRs sweet words vs your salary and growth.
