India is the land of tales and dreams that many wish to experience first-hand. Having so much to offer, this exotic land is the second most populous country in the world, but that doesn’t mean foreigners aren’t welcome.
On the contrary, India is a friendly and warm nation, traditionally nurturing the eastern philosophies of peace, kindness, and love. As a former British colony, expats will find it easy to navigate and settle rather quickly in a bustling city of their choice.
