Moving to Delhi - looking for pointers (New Delhi)

Hi there, I am considering a job offer which has an office in Connaught Place. I have read lots of expat information but still have a few questions about which area to live in considering commuting time to the office and safety concerns. I am relocating alone so need to find the sweet spot of easy access to work, social bars/restaurants and safety. Can anyone share their experience of where to go/ avoid?
this will be my 3rd country location so I know getting the right area is so key!
