- After staying in US for almost 7 years. I decided to move back to India in 2012, I have been asked this question multiple times, Why? The Video is a small insight to why I decided to come back.
Why did I drop out of NYU Stern MBA (fulltime) after trying to get in for 2 years!

Moving to another country for educational or job purpose is a great deal that we look forward to but deciding to come back to your home country when the purpose is done is a critical choice that we all get stuck with. I have been at this situation too when I finally decided to come back to India after staying in US for almost 7 years. In this video, I'm talking about my personal reasons and the pros and cons.
If you are also stuck in the same situation, let's talk at scholarstrategy.com/contact
Great
NRI can speak in English to show a unified India. Do you think only Hindi-speaking Indians live in the USA or UK?
I think that you made a good choice. I have been in US for 20+ yrs, and learned that Americans always say to follow your heart. If your heart in not in it, then don't do it , even if it is glamorous. Follow your heart. If you have the education, dedication to work hard/smart then you can make it anywhere. I am planning to move back, hopefully soon or when I can. I am reaching to the point that I'm done here. No real life long friends here, everyone is into privacy and closed off. People are too sensitive, uptight....even though there are really nice people that I've met..... Most Desi/Punjabi's are just thinking about their next bigger paycheck/house/car/career.....Didn't grow up with that values....
@@aganesh9124 English not a language of India. Since you learned your mother tongue and English at school.. work hard to learn Hindi as well.. then watch this video again. Proud to be an Indian not a slave of britishers.
Good decision. Good luck.
Came back to India from UK after 9 years, with two children under 5. Never regretted it. It is important to be financially stable.... that helps.
Good. Brave decision
Did you ever regret till date?
Well explained. I wish there comes a day when no one from India feels the need to go abroad for better prospects. India is such a beautiful country. It just needs some grooming. It’s matter of time,I believe.
It will take 100 years for India to develop. Poverty and corruption in India are so deep-rooted that we may never come out of it. Hot weather, trash, and pollution make life worse in India. I moved to the USA in 2019 and I am very happy about leaving India forever.
@@mockingbird8734 It’s true. These folks commenting on all the NRI videos moving back to India just want a Justification of their choices as for whatever reason Sufficiency becomes difficult for these people. I find most of these reasons to move back to be pure lame & not looking it from a Common man’s perspective of how much a middle class working citizen struggles in India related to most of it’s problems.
They talk about the thriving economy yet don’t realise most of these jobs are nothing but outsourced from the West itself. They talk about the Startup culture building up in India yet don’t realise how much of it is nothing but VC funds these companies have acquired from again, the West itself.
@@mockingbird8734 Poverty and Corruption are global phenomenon. In US there are homeless people there are shanties. Medical Insurance are very costly. Waiting time for appointment is very high. Labour is very costly. Maid servant which is a basic necessity in India is a luxury in the US.
Overpopulation and corruption will ruin this country
Hey Indori… 😊
Thanks for sharing…
Dilemma here as well…
UIUC...!! Great University
It's so sad that your countrymen instead of welcoming you keep wondering why you wanted to come back as if you have come back from heaven and landed in hell.
Damn Your countrymen, yet your last name is Mukherjee??
@@AnnaLia120 I didn't reply to your comment, if you had the brain you would have understood what I meant to say and not to you.
@@SUJAMUK your comment was funny though your countrymen...
Well, people will always see what they are and what they lack in themself... You asking me about if i have brain, is kind of same... When you don't have one, you think entire world don't have.
For Blind person everything is black.
All the best though. Pitty on your husband though. Bichara
@@AnnaLia120 think before you write. My husband has passed away. I lived in England for 42 years. We both had respectable jobs, First learn to write English properly. From your writing I can imagine what you do for living, wherever you are. You comment doesn't make any sense. Just mind your own business and learn some manners. I should have ignored your comment.
@@SUJAMUK oh sorry for your loss mam. I don't want to hurt your feelings. I was just kidding. You should have taken it easy as well.
You spent enough years in England yet need to know what to write someone about brain thing. Well i just replied you, i am sorry even spending 42 years you are having hardtime reading English. Nothing i can do.
I am sure you must be bossy from your writing but not with me unfortunately.
I fix people's brain.. working as a psychiatrist.
All the best.
I was in England for my MBA IN 2011-2014.And then came back to india and started my own business which was doing amazing until my business partner looted 10 crores from me. I panicked and realized I'll never be able to make that money again. In 2019 moved to Canada as a permanent resident. It's been 3 years here and I realized recently that it took away more from me than it gave me. Finally made a decision to move back and am flying back on 11 January 2023. I'm not saying it's a bad country, it's my personal experience and I realized I cannot stay away from my family and India. Everything she's saying is true and real life experience. The countdown is on for me and am very excited. I would just suggest you guys to enjoy life, take it easy and stay where you will be happy. Thank you
Thanks for sharing
All the best🤩😍
Oh yeah, unfortunately Canada has messed up right now due to all the politics & economics.
Canada is not the same which it was 10 yrs back. No opportunity left here. Cost of living way too high. USA is much better option
Swades.... Apni Dharti... Apni Apne Log... Apni Mitti...
It’s all personal choice, if you move back to India without any expectations you will be fine, if you start comparing selective things you can never be happy. It’s all mindset, happiness is the ultimate thing for anyone in the life, money doesn’t guarantee happiness.
Same situation returned for good after 7 yrs last month. Can completely relate to what you are saying
I read many years ago that emigration means you become a stranger in 2 countries: the country you emigrate TO, and the country you emigrate FROM. Think about this BEFORE emigrating!
Great pointers, thank you so much. I would love to add, once you come back to India, give your self some time to settle down. Do not just panic at every little problem coming at you. It may take few months to a year to fully embrace life in India. Longer run it gets much better and fulfilling, trust me. Also another big drawback of living aboard for long is that your children starts to convert into west, completely lose ties with anything Indian, relationships, language, faith, culture, heritage, you name it. I've yet to find a 3rd or 4th generation immigrant who's still any Indian. Its like our people get so eager to migrates to foreign countries only to get their future generations converted, that's it, and that sucks. All you really need to gain from these countries is money, knowledge and experience, nothing more.
Paaji, dil jit liya aapne...very clear vision for future generations...first generation struggles their entire life to establish themselves and education for their children along with homesickness everyday eating them from inside, second generation partially converted to western way of values,lifestyle,beliefs, festivals etc...third generation will be completely converted and besides Indian DNA and look nothing will remain Indian..
you are absolutely right
true that (Y)
100% True
Its not only us. People around the World 🌎 have moved all over everywhere now and its really hard for them to be able to tackle this problem. Only first or second generation can cooperate with home and all Sanskar. Children getting bullied 😢 and harrassed.Veep Kamala Harris, Governor Nikki Hailey and many more had a very tough time when they were young 😢 here. Till today Children suffer from different types of harassment. No end ,only adjustment. 😩
I want to move to India so badly, the usa is good to make money but depressing to live in.
Hang in there, hope you find a happy way to move forward soon.
Without realising Indians study here with huge govt subsidies and then move to a foreign location spending lakhs of rupees. Then pay lakhs in taxes in that country, fight racism, takes years to settle down albeit loneliness. Better stay in your country and help in making it a better place
First of all welcome to India.If such talented people come back to India it is very good for India.I hope you should get everything what you expect in India.thanks for expressing yourself here.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts through this video. Me and my husband are doctors and we came to Canada to do a fellowship with our small baby who was 6 months old then. It’s been about a year and a half after working here and I don’t think I belong here. When someone asks me why we are not applying for PR in Canada as we can get it easily with in a year, I think it’s my priorities now. May be now I want to have more time with my family and more social support which is lacking in these countries. If I would have come 5 years back my priorities would be different that time. And I terribly miss India. We will be heading back to home by this year end. As rightly said home is where your heart is.
Came to US just like you in 2005! Almost 18years later, I can see your pov. Thanks for carefully explaining.
If you have children born o/seas, don't even think of moving back to India. Neither you, or your children, will ever belong there again. It s a harrowing choice for people who immigrate. They escape poverty, only to find themselves strangers in their new home forever.
what about after the children have become adults, working or pursuing a degree?
@@murali-alive Indians never leave their children.....God Forbid!
Studying in London right now…But the mission is to return to India..cos I am missing every bit of my INDIA😢

People who have property in India can come back, but people who doesn’t have property in India started from zero at foreign countries ,can struggle in India, its better being at abroad, but if you want any medical treatments india is best, personally I would suggest, Jo bhai behen ne bahut struggle kiya hai financially, bahut saari problems dekhi hai india me, mat aana india me woh, yeah for tourism you can come anytime, but financially you will just struggle, jinke parents support karte hain , people who have higher education can do job anywhere in the world, unka toh chal jata hai, but Jo truck par hain usa me stores par hain or even doing freelancing, they can’t come back here , hardly they manage to make money for studying, india me kon truck pe rakhe ga, it’s better at usa, likh lo 2 Aadmi kabhi nahi aayenge vapis ek toh Gujarati aur dusra punjabi, bahut struggle dekha hai nahi ayenge 👀 vapis

UIUC computer science is not even under 10 in world rankings! It is actually ranked #18 in the world and #5 in the US rankings. Check your facts!
could be the case that it was ranked 5 back when she applied
Simply wanted to say thank you for posting such a unbiased and true to reality video!!
Glad it was helpful!
I came to US, moved back to India, again came back to US and now contemplating going back. What kind of sorcery is India-US. Interesting video and presented well. Cheers and good luck!
What did you do
It is very informative. Thank you so much for this video ma’am. I have a question. If Im on a H1b visa and want to move completely to India, what are the things I need to keep in mind?
Concise and precise content with your reassuring smile
India's metamorphosis in last decade in every sector of life under present government is something v all see to realise that India will be the most livable country in times ahead
Balancing half year in India and half in Canada I am seeing the life differences
BUT 1 ADVANTAGE U HAVE to your India returning wisdom IS YR HOME TOWN INDORE a great historic city IS SO AWESOME ESPECIALLY now that it's the cleanliest in India and NOT TO MENTION ABOUT historic HOLKAR'S MAHESHWAR ON NARMADA r huge attractions for someone like u to miss home country
For wkends especially in monsoon Modi Government has gifted a brand new Patalpani Kalakund Heritage train journey with Vistadome
Such life enriching attractions r being routinely added by this Government with VandeBharat state of the art trains and airport like major railway stations our ancestors never had a clue about
When u return well planned from US then India IS BECOMING THE DESTINATION OF CHOICE NO DOUBT
For a family deciding to move back,the only best time is when they are quite young ,under 6.i personally moved back when my child was 3.i never regretted.
hi Nisthaji, thanx so much for giving us such an informative & useful video!!
looking forward to watching more such awesome videos!!👍
as u told, many students who belong to middle class take huge education loans in order to follow their dream of pursuing their studies abroad!!
how will they repay their loans if they come back to India ? they won't get equal salary in India to repay the loan ; more so , if they have to start something on their own ; they can't take another loan which will be a huge burden on them ; how to manage this financial problem ?? by that time , they may have their family & kid also ; their parents would have become old & they have to support them also ; it's a very difficult decision to make & not possible for everybody ;😇
After watching many videos on the 'return to india' topic, which seemed to be covered by only NRIs who returned to India after working in the US, I felt a bit irritated. The reason being, I am a single Indian aged 28 who has been studying in Copenhagen (denmark) since 2.5 years and now working as a waiter to sustain myself in the job search period. I am incredibly homesick and need the liberty of time to upskill myself, amongst other concerns of peak self-doubt levels and a massive load of indecisiveness due to a conflict between deciding for myself and to please others who's regard for other individuals increases depending on their superficial levels. And also my education and employable skillsets are mixed and mismatched (Computer Science + Audio Engineering specialization + Content Writing internships upto 2 years), which makes it much tougher to get a job here in Denmark.
There are hardly any videos of Indian students living abroad in Scandinavia who returned home on their own personal choice.
Thank you so much for this video and very gradually illustrating the pros and cons of your experience. Much needed. tagging myself as a 'failure' for returning to homegrounds after completing my masters here felt like a purely futile experience to have. I am considering returning home coming late August or September to reorient myself and get upgraded on homeground.
Hey Vatsal, that sounds tough. Sorry that yo are facing these struggles. Truth is there are many other people also who are not immediately able to figure out their careers. But yes very few people share those stories. Hang in there, start taking mini steps towards what you think is right for you at this time. As for people, don't care much, their opinions will not help you. Be selfish, do what feels right. And good luck!
@@ScholarStrategyTV pleased to see your response to my thoughts on your video :) I realized that it's something very okay to choose to return home after completing an education abroad. And honestly it is not only the education, but the lifestyle, communication with other students and professors, getting introduced to so many perspectives and the melodies of different languages between two humans (I also get very emotional and SUPER hyped when I hear Marathi, one of my mother tongues), getting into therapy for maintaining mental stability and unravelling personal pasts to get at least somewhat cleansed at a mental level, also getting introduced to the 🏳️🌈 community here and self-acceptance, realizing and repairing some layers of my relationship with family. and last but not the least, getting to specialise in a super niche area of computer science and arts. there is a-LOT which has been covered on my journey in these nearly 3 years. and when i return home, i bring every single memory and vibration of this roadtrip back with me. 😌🌸
@@ScholarStrategyTV I also realized that the 'American dream' comes across as a very superficial tone to me. It isn't healthy at all. Returning home after an education abroad should be celebrated and normalized rather than stigmatised and plain boo'ed.

Could have been useful if its shared in English :( JFYI - Most of the south Indians don't know Hindi, if you want to share content across then please do it in English, Subtitles are not that useful here, Thanks.
It's a good decision to go back to your home country especially if the country gives you good opportunities to grow.
Yes with American companies and mncs
It's really an amazing and true points that you said in this video. I am an international MBA student studying in UK and my course is about to end this month. when I came to UK in 2023 I had thought of settling in this country but my husband and daughter didn't like the culture and weather of this country. Finally, I have decided to go back to my home country because of family and happiness. You said in this video about your venture.. so could you please share your business website. I am really excited to know more about this. Looking forward to it.
Returned back after 23years with a green card.
But settled back with a huge culture shock in India 🇮🇳
what do you mean by culture shock? i want to know i am living in US at present.
Omg 23 years 🤯
Nothing had changed the first 4 years with corrupt congress.
Then everything just slowed down to a grinding halt due to new Govt.
Now everyone are waiting for Modi Ji to do it.
IDK but metropolitan cities like Delhi are quite at par with the west. I have been to few countries and there is not much that I feel is missing in Delhi
Modi is more corrupt then congress..just do some research, according to home ministry under the rule of present gov most of the people gave up indian citizenship, just been to india even in india people are more busy then us..lot of corruption. People try deceive each other. I can say wherever I used to go such as restaurant, shopping mall, and tea stall also people used to talk about how to get visa for other countries. That’s the situation of india
Apart from the fact whether you made a good or bad decision about leaving US, the most important thing impressed me about you is that you hold an independent opinion about yourself. What I mean by that is that fortunately your life is not influenced by marriage, kids, parents, our so-called Indian society, etc. You are so clear in your head that what you needs to do with your life and that's where we (as Indian) are affected by and confused about mostly. (and on top of that being a female in India is an another challenge you know what I mean)
Thanks for sharing the loneliness and other mental wellness issues, Nishta. I went through similar experiences. Incl. poverty of the fully-funded grad student too.
Congrats! Keep inspiring other NRIs to come ba k to INDIA. At the end it's not worth living in abroad.
Why NRI's should move back? one reason is they are NOT finding a proper groom or bride who is like themselves. I know many NRI brides remaining unmarried because of that
Agree 💯% We are in the same boat. Can’t find life partners
Kyu Gore logo ne bhaav nahi diya kyaa? Agar Indian partner nahi mil raha tha
Bhai shadi karni hai sex nahi, gora bhaav dega but 2saal jyada se jyada baad mein vo apne raste tu apne.
Thank you so much for a wonderful video. Your detailed and systematic explanations, including pros and cons of returning to India is very useful to NRIs who go back and forth between staying in the US or returning back home.
Thank you for sharing your experience! Definitely contemplating it myself, after becoming a citizen a decade ago. It served it’s purpose for the time being but it somehow is losing it’s appeal. I saw myself becoming close minded, materialistic and individualistic and it’s been hard to relate to my family, to my culture over time. After my recent trip, I came to realize how truly free being in India is and I’m planning to move back😊 So excited to fall in love with India for the first time!
Thanks and good luck Tanvi!
Welcome home!

Seat TG; hope you’ve read my comments.
After living 35 years; visited Pune & even it was not very facilitate; I didn’t miss the luxurious lifestyle of America… tried to adjust myself with whatever the India (my Pune) offered me & as the time went by; I reinvented the love, affection and kindness of the people; whom I lost the long back!.. whereas the western mentality is like ‘out of site; out of mind’.
Adjust yourself with whatever the India can offers; don’t compare with what you had & the life would be fine.
Sorry for the typo.. it was not seat TG; but Dear TG
I spent 6 years in the US and I know what you mean :) Very balanced views. I really appreciate the emotional aspects you talked about. Some people are emotional and social, and the distance from my family got to me.
I didn't face racism but something didn't feel right. My brother on the other hand didn't experience that to the same degree as I did. Sometimes I wonder if its gender related or personality related. Either ways, I loved my experience there but I knew it wasn't my home. :)
It’s been 7 years for me in New Jersey and I concur with all the honest opinions that you have mentioned in this video. Thanks for sharing as this will surely help so many people.
HI, your videos are really informative and provides insights about one goes through the dilemma when living aboard life as Foreigner..!!!
I have couple of questions related to same topic with an extension..!
- In most cases its comes out like indians from US but however did you have any feedback or call from any indians living in germany or Europe and thinking about moving back to india ..? what were there challenges..?
- secondly it would be great if you make videos on OCI card holders childrens education in india, its understood that OCI card holders children should pay more fees than indian citizens (for undergraduate....etc), if this is the case then only parents can have citizens and excempting children from giving up indian citizenship, in these cases will it make any sense to take any other citizenship..apart from having luxury of free visa travel across world..!!!
A point to mention is in US there is lot of racism and of course crime everywhere ; you made a good decision, where every you are you should feel happy.
No not really, every country has their pros and cons. Wherever it makes you happy one should move
@@AnnaLia120 tu pagal hai kya jo sabko reply ker raha hai... Recent shooting in us tells all truth don't be dalla okay
In my experience more racism in India than US, I lived in Kerala for 4.5 yrs and felt more racism in Kerala than my life in 5 different states of US. I think if staying in your home state is the thing, then one may not feel racism, but India is big country and racism is rampant on basis of region and languages

Very mature , to the point and with feelings explanation. Find egoless talk. All the very best. God bless you.
Informative video with good suggestions . India today is fast developing and prospering to become an advanced Nation . Foreign direct Investment is coming in a big way. There is Population burden no doubt, but one must watch PM Modis vision Manifesto delivered in Oct 2023 at Mandapam Pragati Maidan Delhi at youtube .It is a Vision for India for next 5 years to really understand how India will progress. States like Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra have visionary Chief Ministers, these states are marching ahead speedily . Every State today wants Entrepreneurs and Businesses. We witness Modernization/ progress in every sector.
I'm definitely in that same state after staying here for 10 years now. I have always wanted to go back and have 2025 as the year when I have planned to move back but nowadays I feel like I should pack my bags by end of 2023 and sell all stuffs (home, car , land etc) I have with me here. One question that bothers me, how much money one should have (of course there is no upper limit but just as a rough number) to go back, settle, take a break and start fresh in there when that person has a 2 year young?
3-5cr
I thing minimum. 1.5 cr.indian rupees (2 lake us doller)
I am in Canada. I love India by heart but I will never come back. I don't want my kids to face reservation quota system, corruption, dishonesty, injustice and Pollution on my motherland India.
It's best to stay in US (or any other country) for a few years, gain experience and money and come back. If good amount of money is made, it can be invested wisely and live a happy life in India. Only problem in India is chatukari bossism and political environment in Indian companies. Working in US is different level of professionalism.
I appreciate how you reminded many times that it should be everyone’s personal decision. Can you make a video if you felt any struggle with day to day issues like traffic, pollution and corruption being an entrepreneur?
Not a regular NRI and I don't have any wish to return home just yet or maybe ever. I don't live in the UK or USA though...I have lived and worked in different countries (not all of them were western countries). My child grew up in 5 different countries, goes to an international school with kids from 60 different countries, and feels at home in different cultures. His best friends are British and Colombian. A true third culture kid. He speaks his Indian mother tongue fluently at home, English with an accent, and Spanish. He plans to study in Europe after school and doesn't want to settle in India either. I find the quality of life to be much, much higher abroad and you get to be who you are. Yes, we miss our families back home but they visit and they understand and respect our choices. Not all NRIs go abroad just to make money (I am an educator, so definitely not in for the money) or work in IT:-) I love my life and I know I privileged to have lived in some amazing places and have met some amazing people along the way. Won't trade this life for anything. We are good here.
Well are you christian if christian you would like western countries
Thank you for This video gave me some inspiration and tips as well on how and when to plan a return to Kolkata. I am currently in my first semester for my Master's here in the USA and have been feeling kind of homesick since the past two-three days. This video has helped greatly!!
My pleasure 😊
This is a wonderful video for those grappling with this dilemma.
We have stayed in US for 33 yrs now. My hubby is emotional, and kept struggling with this decision, but we ended up staying and now it seems v difficult to move back. I have always loved it here as I am more practical and less emotional.
So, ultimately it depends on each individual.
By being practical u meant money. But Dear, money doesn't matter after a certain point.
@@vecna7523 by being practical, she means that life is not red roses in India either and there will always be judgemental people like you to deal with.
@@shaneward2588 Well she happens to be Indian and there is only one thing Indians go abroad for and that's money.
Who r we kidding ?
You may talk about infinite aspects but let's not miss the forest for the trees.
I'm not judgemental but brutally honest.
@Vecna of course money...these people are after money only ..u make the exchange rate reverse none will stay in abroad
@@vecna7523 My wife's an Indian and that's not at all the reason she migrated. The words that you say are reflection of your motivation to stay abroad, not necessarily applies for everyone else.
My cousin lived for years in New York and her husband was brutally attacked there. They decided to return to India. However, you remain a prisoner in your house. Too many poor and too many problems outside the security patrolled compound. What is the difference? You swap some problems for others.
Hello mam i just came to Australia in the month of march to settle my life here with my husband and my daughter,but from the very next day when I landed here i was started thinking I cannot spend rest of my life here without my family and friends and i was still confused but today your video suddenly flash on my youtube and Now i am happy that i took the good decision as we have already booked our tickets to India , thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and opinions with all of us. I am also feeling very lonely here though we have lots of friends here but still i am suffering to feel the emotional connection with this country.
Many people join Big IT firms like Amazon, Google and take transfer to India. It helps them in 2 ways. First they have job. Second, their stocks will be vested in India according to USA package

Same situation I m going back to India from Australia
Why? How long you lived in Australia
Why people love Australia
V nice content,great watching the video,it's v true ,we will never get the essence of country,our culture, else where.
I think it is possible to start a business while on H1B visa. And you said your company was willing to sponsor you for GC. Once you have a green card it is even easier to start your business without having to be in a job if your financials allowed
I wish you could reach more people because I feel like people go to the US with the perception that it’s a utopia when in reality it’s almost the exact opposite. There is nothing wrong with studying abroad it’s just the idea that the education and country are going to provide an end all solution when in reality it’s not.
Best advice for Indians, never ever leave India, just stay in India, na rahega baas, na bajegi bansuri......end of all discussions of this type.
Excellent. So nicely explained. I liked your way of communicating.
Thank you
Been in US for 22 years and worked for US GOVT took VRS and was back to India 3 years ago...Now I am enjoying warm summers and mild winter and able to define my day as I wish every day....In life I set limit to as there is NO LIMIT to earn money and enjoy materialistic life .and living a contend life with what I earned ....Note...In USA I went thru Downturns...Layoffs...Medical issues etc...Anyway enjoyed and experienced life during my Stay in USA ...Only problem felt is WINTER COLD WEATHER...Over here in INDIA I am enjoying life on the BEACH every day and enjoying SUNNY DAYS.....with Family Friends Relatives and help as and when required......
Dollar power don’t forget that’s why you are enjoying in India had you not spent those years in USA things would have been different now remember
Waiting for GC from H1B is so long for Indian Born citizen
I came to the UK as a student year 2007, recession hit in 2008 and I lost my part time job, I was dead broke. But I hassled in the cold harsh weather, completed my studies, got a job, saved money, set-up a firm, sold the firm in 2021 and retired. It all happened in 13 years. UK is not for the weak, if you want to be successful here then you have to integrate with British community and also depends on your mindset. Your current situation does not determine your future but your thoughts will.
I think I am the only person in the comment section that likes the UK. This is a beautiful country, fresh air (outside London ofcourse), pure water and non gmo food, excellent private healthcare, good transportation networks, best restaurants in the world, best social life, Europe is 45 minutes away, and more importantly great people to socialise with.
😂 i hope your future 100 generation stay happy in uk us europe whatever but give us one favour no matter how bad you stay there forever and never ever think of coming back to india 🇮🇳 ❤coz we dont want gaddar here
I only want to do ms there! Just at least for 1 year
Some great points here!
Thank you!
Indian food, our culture & festivals, easy asseciability for many things, snow fall are the reasons because of which many people miss India & most important is maid, some of my friends get frustrated because they don't get any helping hand for household work & some have to sacrifice their carrier
Your videos are really good for guidance to youngsters
I was living good life in delhi
And found NYC like slum
New work is my dream City ....... It's financial capital of the world 🌎 & famous international City .
Delhi is nothing but very polluted & unsafe.........New york is 20-25 years ahead than Delhi ( in everything.)

Even i moved to India for my love of Modi ji. Thanks for being a true Hindu. Bharat mata ki jai

Every one’s decision is based upon their own choices. So many people moved back to India 🇮🇳 after living and hard worked in 🇺🇸 USA. They even build beautiful home 🏡 with decorative things from here. They returned back here as they were not comfortable there. House heating,cooling,garbage disposal,Dr, Meds,groceries ,traffic,pollution etc too much discouraging.Now they live here 😂
So what r u laughing
@@aishwarya2130 ,they came back to Pavillion 🤣🤣🤣
It’s kind of confusing what you are trying to say. The reasons are personal and yet you found reasons to explain that are simple and silly. May be the confusion at that time pushed you taking a wrong step. I hope at least you are not regretting now.
I applied to FIT newyork and got an admission in 2016, how ever i couldnt go due to some reasons but got opportunity to work out side of India. Now, when i look back, I am wondering what made me take that decision? I never thought of what would be my life after I graduate. I wish, people who have sailed those boats shall make videos like you so it helps the coming generation to make better decisions.. thank you for the content
Thank you for sharing your experience Nisha! All the best with your venture.
Also , green card nahi milta ! FYI
Tripathiji you are an upper caste Hindu , what is your opinion on the lynching of Muslims and also the humiliation of dalits in India. The country is now in a democratic back slide. and Modani is destroying human rights. So is India still better
😂bakwas go stay and spend your last days abroad we are happy or sad whateverwe are in our land❤india 🇮🇳
Thank you for letting your motherland have the results of your activity.
I am glad that you are BACK to India. And now you are a UA-camr making money. Keep it up.
I am thinking to return to india. I get pension ans ssi close to 200000 dollars. should i return to India.
33 years in the United States but don’t want to go back to India and see Modi’s Adani love 😮😾😼🙄😮
No country comes anywhere close to India. ,it is incomparable,. especially for those who are more evolved and wish to lead a higher and more spiritual life. jai Hind
Shut up
Awesome! Very well explained...
I think it is always better to return back with a company transfer or home-country relocation, if possible. Even if you want to start your own venture back in India.
Starting new ventures in India can takes an enormous amount of planning, execution & time - with many more obstacles to navigate. Systems and clearances here are not as streamlined or easy. Multiple review of plans & budget for your venture is very often required.
Another very important decision to take is where you will stay after coming back. Would you move in with your parents? Would you move into an independent apartment in the same city as your parents? Or will it be a different city? Because at this age (between 25-30) you are reaching a stage in life where your need to finalise a location for life and will probably marry and settle down sooner than later. By this time after completing your education and after 3-4 years of professional work experience... you already know what career opportunities you will pursue.
Third point, I feel is, if you are exiting US because your Visa has expired... then it makes sense to seek a transfer to Singapore or Dubai (3-4 hr flight from India) or even UK/Europe (7-8 hr flight from India) instead of coming back to India. But if you are NOT compelled to exit US... then Dubai or Singapre does not make sense! Then you are returning back to your roots as your primary motivator and only a return to India makes sense. Singapore or Dubai is neither here nor there!
OK Mr.Know-all.. everything is bad in India. Try being a westerner till death. Good luck
Very good and informative videos

You should have taken the green card option opportunity wasted
Not every desi is obsessed with green card.
Pehle angrejo ne yha aakar hme gulam bnaya,or ab hm videsh jakar khud gulam bn rhe h,race lgi hui h,jitna hard work vha krte h agr hm utna yha kr le to hm mentally bhi sound rhenge
Why you left the heaven, USA?
GC le lete to ek generation ahead ho jte.
After green card you have to wait another 5 years for citizenship. You cannot stay outside of USA with greencard for more than 6 months.
Thinking of returning back to India after 20 yrs in Aus (Aus citizing with OCI )....emotional and nervous...want to be with family..indian traditions..and my people..not foreign feeling...
Aap ek saache deshbhakt hai aur aapki tarah Jo india bapas aakar india ki fayede karte hain mujhe aisi log bahut pasand hai.
Very rightly said..
Incredible India.
