Mistakes °µÍø½ûÇøs make in India by Priscilla
Hello everyone, Did you make any mistakes when you first moved to India? What were they? How did you address your mistakes? Did you learn anything from them? With hindsight, what would you do differently? Are there any tips you could ...

There's nothing worse than listening to °µÍø½ûÇøs complain about India and I find that these people don't tend to stay. If you make it past six months here and get settled in, you'll find life here quite livable and enriching. India is a ... Read More

To set up a business here, you need to incorporate your business and it will typically require an Indian national as your company signatory. I would recommend that you contact Sannam S4 in Delhi (www.sannams4.com). They specialize in assisting ... Read More

The original poster is from the Philippines and that may be an option for her, but most Americans will be unlikely to give up their American citizenship due to the fact that we don't need visas for most countries. I've been traveling on five ... Read More

Are you marrying an Indian citizen? If so, you may be able to get a PIO card. You need to be legally married and have proof. With a PIO card you can work for any company unencumbered. You will need to arrange for a PAN and AAdhar card in order to ... Read More

I think the biggest mistake °µÍø½ûÇøs make is expecting the police to come to your aid when you need help. The police here will most likely not speak English and if they do, they will interview both you and whomever was endangering you to understand ... Read More

I would not recommend to anyone trying to live here on a tourist visa. You will not be able to rent an apartment in most states since that needs to be cleared though the Police Commissioner of the city you live in. You could probably share an ... Read More

Most people arriving from the West think they're going to be saving a LOT of money while they're here in India, but frankly, that's not the case unless your company is paying all your expenses. As someone who has been working in India ... Read More


Finally here, in Pune by beemelissa
I made it safe and sound. Pune is nicer than I was thinking it would be. I'm enjoying myself so far. Have yet to make any friends, or find a hobby, but maybe in time. Wouldn't mind learning some basic yoga, and take hindi classes. I'd even love to ...
