Working in India
Working in India - particularly in Bangalore, Delhi and Mumbai - has become increasingly popular over the last few years. India has become known as one of the world's leading economies. Currently, roughly 40,000 expats work in India and the number continues to grow.
India has a high demand for experienced foreign workers in certain fields due to certain industries developing faster than the available workforce.
Private banking is an emerging industry in India and expats with global financial experience will find plenty of job opportunities at the forefront of a growing market. The incredible development of India's IT industry is equally attractive for expats wanting to work in India, and the pharmaceutical research business is rapidly expanding and needs experienced researchers workers to fulfil positions as well.
Overall, there is great need for experiences expats with special skill sets. Other growth industries are manufacturing, aviation, nano and biotechnology, and telecommunications.
On the flip side of the coin, foreign companies are outsourcing professional jobs to India, as employment is often cheaper than within their home nation. Though this factor has caused much consternation in western countries, the policy has strengthened international business ties in India.
Indian companies enjoy the different leadership styles expats can bring to managerial positions, and the nation seems to be embracing expats working in India; many local companies are beginning to be run by foreign managers.
Foreign expats in the Indian workforce are appreciated for their cultural differences, but there is also an emphasis placed on understanding Indian culture and organisation - many Indian companies send their expat employees on cultural training programs.
As a bit of icing on the cake, lucrative relocation packages and generous expat salaries often lead to comfortable lives and saved income for those moving to India.
