Expatriates are moving to Chennai and several NRIs have returned after long stints abroad. Chennai has its advantages compared to other cities in India- it is smaller in scale, is globally well connected, has some good educational and medical facilities and is a culturally vibrant city.
This eBook is meant to give you a head start in Chennai. It answers all basic questions about the city, cross cultural issues, utility and services, schools and medical facilities, information resources, shopping hot spots, recreational and cultural centres, doing business and more.
Interviews with expats and NRIs give you the real picture about life in Chennai and how it has changed from a sleepy town to a ‘hip and worldly’ city. Despite the visible change, expats are still advised to ‘make the cultural adjustment expected even in the most modern Indian cities – to be a bit more conscious of what you wear, avoid display of affection in public etc. if you don’t want to attract unnecessary attention’. The ‘Chilli Tips’ will make your life easier and opinion from those who moved here is to ‘Take it easy / enjoy your time! Whatever you do, it will never happen as expected. Anyway, it will be an unforgettable experience!’.
This eBook is akin to a curtain raiser and is sure to help you fine tune daily life as soon as your arrive.
