10 years back, I had moved to USA for my masters but there were a few things that made me come back and settle in India.
Lot of people wonder if they will ever be able to come back once they move abroad.
In this video, I am talking about the pros and cons of coming back to India from USA as honestly as possible.
CONS :
01:04 - Money and success does not come easy in India
01:53 - Paperwork and lack of professionalism
02:23 - Hard to network
03:29 - Quality of life
PROS :
04:14 - Being close to family
05:11 - Visa anxiety
06:21 - Cheaper Healthcare
07:41 - Indian food

Many years ago, I read somewhere that emigrating means you become a stranger in 2 countries simultaneously: the country you emigrate TO, and the country you emigrate FROM. Something to think about BEFORE emigrating.

In India, MONEY TALKS more than any other country I have seen :) Been in the UK for 15 years now. I used to visit India every few years for a month. However. Last year I spent 6 months in India and I didn't want to come back to UK. Family, food, culture and all of them aside India has changed a lot in the last 6-8 years. The digital transformation has been incredible. I have a Cybersecurity consultancy in UK and I can pretty much run it from anywhere. Thanks to Jio. If all goes to the plan in the next couple of years we intend to move back to India and spend a couple of summer months in the UK every year. For now, I need to make more money to execute that plan. I am 37 now and I would like to spend my 40s and the rest on the motherland.

I think I moved back to India around the same time as you (2013). The best thing about India is peace of mind. Life is laid back and all the anxiety, loneliness, depression is gone. There is absolutely nothing in the world which can compensate for mental sanity and peace. Are there issues in India? Sure! Which place doesn't have issues. But I guess its our duty as Indians to network and participate in cleaning India bit by bit.

Above all, for me (I came back and had H1B), I have realised I have inherent love for India, our people, culture, language, hospitality and what not. I have started realising it more as I am getting older that in general people are very open and loving here no matter which part of country you are in. We are age old civilisation and there is a reason we are still standing. Second, I realised that no matter how much time I spend in the US, deep down I will still have that feeling that I am not from here and I don’t look like American, don’t speak, eat, wear like American ( they are good in their own way) and I may feel secondary here. I didn’t want to feel that way all my life. Happy Indian 😊…

It’s been exactly 12 years I moved back to India, one important point u missed, it feels home anywhere u go, it’s our people. I’ll take the crap but it should feel home, my son travels to US once a year to visit my sister and her kids he always says he doesn’t want his kids to grow up in America, He’s 23 he’s leaving for masters but he’s looking for career opportunities in india he’s also an American citizen. This dec I travelled to US after 12 years initial 2days I was in a thought process if I made a mistake but after seeing my sister I felt I made the right decision, but my sister loves America she can’t imagine her life out off America its about our personalities. I atleast made a visit to America my wife doesn’t even want to visit America and the irony is we are all American citizens and we were successful in US. This is personal my take on this issue I might be wrong but coming back was the right decision for our family.

Also, by focusing on what I can give instead of what I can get, I am beginning to understand that, in this dance between me and my country, India will change me more than I will change India.

Being an NRI, I can relate to everything that you said. The India of today has changed so much that living in USA sometimes feels like a forceful decision/punishment. There is nothing that can make you feel privilege about staying in the US. You can grow successful here faster than in India but it comes with a price. You need to trade off all good things that India has to offer.

You do realise that it is precisely for this reason that we don’t have minimum wages and dignity of labour in India? It is human exploitation, and after coming to Europe and doing everything on my own, I understand that we have been very pampered in India and treated the labour class very unfairly. Here in Europe every profession is treated on par and nothing is below “status”. Yeah, no doubt it makes life convenient, and to be honest I also miss it sometimes - but I know that we were wrong before and don’t plan to inculcate that habit in my son.

I think the golden rule is - go abroad at or before 25, make money until your kid turns 5 and then return back to India. I hv been in the US now for over 22 yrs and at age 45, now i want to go back to India but my kid wouldn’t want to. The biggest reason for me besides the ones you mentioned is domestic help. Here no matter what day of the year, you have to cook, do groceries, clean your house, iron your clothes - all by yourself. I was fine doing all this when young but as you get older, these get on your nerve. US is like quick sand, the more you feel like getting out, the more you start sinking.
@mohamedfaizan9844
@mohamedfaizan9844 Год назад
Of course your kid wouldn’t want to. He grew up in the US, that is his country - how can you expect him to leave his country and come to a foreign land, just because he has ancestry there? It’s an unfair expectation and I would say blaming your children for no fault of theirs. If you really mean what you say, you should have left when you started a family. But we all know why we stay abroad, so no need to pretend like it was a decision made against your will - you are solely responsible for it because you had your priorities. Which is perfectly ok - but this whole comment section looks like the US brought slaves in chains from India - It isn’t 17th century Africa, so pls stop self victimising.

@@mohamedfaizan9844 I entered US in 2016 while my first son was born in india in 2015, so he is not a citizen of US. Since my PERM is approved only recently a couple of years back, there is no hope in hell for me to get citizenship. So, Why should my first son be loyal to a country of which both he and his fathers are not citizens? Secondly, my second son was born in 2021 and less than 2 years, by the time he is a major at 18 years, I will be 59 and how can I work in US with failing health at that age being anxious about VS visa and every time I lose a job(due to recession or others aspects). What is the point of teaching my second son to be loyal when his father due to his failing health may return back to India in about 10 years? Bangladesh example works differently, we will come to that after we settle this issue.

As you rightly mentioned all the countries have their own plus and minuses but finding peace and happiness is most important as it affects every small thing around us. As far as i know maximum people shift abroad to earn good money if their national currency is low... But once experienced people start rethinking their choice to move abroad. But heard from many : abroad is good for holidays but life is best in India. We crave for money but at the end happiness matters which can not be earned from money......

To be honest,coming out of my comfort zone in India,gave me a opportunity to look at life through different angel,to look at me and my inside,what I am and what I want. I always wanted to do audio narration and copywriting,which I never knew what it was in India,and here I got great opportunity to do and I am doing,in India I was not from rich family,so vacation were rare,but now we get to go for vacation twice a year,as there is no limit to work and earn so no limits for vacation,its like learning a new culture and leaving your life.

Very good! Let me share my experience. I had returned to India after chucking away my Green Card. I was always surprised when people asked me why I came back; the answer was simple, it was home. I had never regretted for a single minute of returning to India. The key was never to look back. Don’t keep thinking about the life you left behind, but the life you are driving towards. No one drives a vehicle looking into the rear view mirror. The interesting thing was that the Uparwala had his own plans for me. The multinational company I was working for decided to transfer me to their corporate office in Paris. After few years there transferred me to the U. S. I am now a U. S. citizen. But, my heart is still in India. That corny saying that you can take an Indian out of India, but can’t take take India out of an Indian is not corny at all.

The video is correctly ended by saying choose your priorities and make compromises for achieving them.

Pros India 1) family 2) food 3) easy access to everything 4) domestic help … pros of USA 1) money 2) clean env 3) opportunities 4) better healthcare. Now there are cons in both countries but biggest is gun violence in USA. Everyday, there is shooting somewhere. I can live with small inconveniences in India. Btw, I’ve been in India since December and leaving in February

I doubt usa has better Healthcare. I have lots if health issues and watch lots of videos where a lot of Americans say how their Healthcare sucks on the internet. I live in Germany and it's not great here either. America surely doesn't have a clean environment everywhere. That is debatable. You might have good experiences based on where you have lived but it's hard to believe that US doesn't hv pollution and all the garbage they dump in other countries😅

Really loved your video. I live in Canada now, was born in Kenya and am a senior now. My roots, however, are in India. Unfortunately I do not have a choice of going back home, so to speak. Kenya was not my home and I have tried hard over the 40 plus years I have lived here to make Canada my home. I have longed for many years to visit India and see the country my grandfather left, for economic reasons, before the turn of the last century. I have children and grandchildren born in Canada and without that I would not feel like I am living at 'home'. Best wishes to you and keep writing and speaking. Clearly, you have the demeanor and charisma for that line of work. Finally, I have worked in Canada with many persons who emigrated from India and have not met one person of my age who does not long to plan his or her next vacation to India.

really loved this video.., exact same good and bad for me.. just replace the country with Canada.... being back in India ... I do feel many times that professional life is much better abroad than in India.. but professional life is not what you live for.. you can still make it fairly well here in your profession .. but other than that ...the freedom.. food, life without Visa anxiety, family, friends... weather.. tourisim as well...everything is good here in India.. and I feel started appreciating all of these things after my stints abroad... India is chaotic.. but still there is an air of freedom and the spice of life here which really makes India our home...

A good video. In my humble opinion, it's not about between US and India. It's about moving to any place - even within the same country. Each place has its own pros and cons. The farther you move from your original home, you can expect more and more differences - some you will love and some you will detest. If you stay at one place and compare what life would've been at a different place, it's a recipe for discontent and unhappiness. 🙏

You think your diplomatic type balancing answer has much value? NO, facts are facts especially when it comes to HUMAN quality and life live by HUMAN not ROBOTS or other species. If MONEY is everything or happiness as they fantasize in U.S., why there is almost daily gun Violence? The longevity in U. S. rank at dismal # 70 in the world...! Life of elders are miserable. Loneliness and psychiatric problems are widespread. Divorces are very common. Petty lies are just a way of life. What is # 1 than. There was a song in Raj Kapoor's 1957 film Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai. " Aa ab laut chale........" And there is a line in one of the Antras "....Lakh lubhaye mahel paraye, apna ghar phir apna ghar hai..................

So... 10 years in US and then 10 Years in India and now back in the US... Many of your points are absolutely spot on and it really does not matter where you live as long as you see the glass as half full and enjoy life.. For people, deciding to move back to India or come to the US... both countries have their benefits... and depends on what you want... Happy Decision Making to all !

My Son was in 5th std then...All these years despite of having good grades, superb JEE rank, he is NTSE and KVPY holder ...being from open category it was hard to get admission into desired college for desired stream... India has nearly 55 to 60% reservation in education so it is hard for open category students to get admission in IIT for desired course...So if you come back here send your children abroad after 12th

A very thoughtful video indeed. Very valid points. I was on a H1B visa in the US as well and I can relate to all of the struggles and niceties as well while in the US. India has always been home for me - I left India for other reasons and going to the US for more like an expedition to discover myself and what I really am going thru. The US has helped me gain confidence and do most things myself which I never thought I will be able to handle while India has helped me go thru the dirt and rain and the full cycle of all kinds of difficulties which has really helped me evolve as a person. I don't regret either of these countries and will always remain grateful for what they meant to me. Always!

Nice analysis! I may not agree with you on healthcare front. You rightly said it depends on what insurance you carry but it does not take 3-4 weeks to schedule an appointment. You primary care physician is always available quickly and if you are sick, the same day. Similarly even a specialist is available immediately if you are in some pain provided you are already his patient. However the first appointment while selecting a specialist may take sometime. Also emergency rooms are always available in case it is something off-hours and urgent. The quality of health care is best in United States and no other country can match it due to technology and infrastructure. Hygiene levels too are of highest standards.

most probably she was doing contract work and health insurance is not offered. Also, it does take 3-4 weeks or even more depending upon the specialist in USA coz you have to go through primary care most of the time. Or just knock the door of emergency and wait for massive bill.

I always wanted to go back to india from 2000-2014 but eventually decided not to after seeing some friends return back to US after 1-2 yrs in India. Moreover, i could not find a managerial job in india in the city i wanted to live at the time, so that also prevented my move. Thinking hard about it and making a choice either way is a good excercise and you won’t regret either way, my only advice is don’t spend like 5-10 yrs pondering over it, may be couple of years max.

You are Indian and India is your country there's no reason for you to escape India because India is horrible because of Indians That's your opportunity to make something better that's your opportunity for wealth America is a rich country with prosperous Americans and you are just cheap labor in America no matter if you think you're making 100K and you think that's a lot of money but that a lot of money to Americans 88% Eighty-eight percent of Indians in America are cheap labor 94% ninety-four percent of Indians in America make American wages or below If Indians are so Superior why is India at the bottom of the world Are the British to blame? Why is Pakistan above India why is Bangladesh above you This is Indian mentality you don't want to work and you don't want to work hard you don't want to improve you have Hindu Brahmin lazy mentality you want to sit on the throne and have everybody else do the hard work You can become wealthy and India all you have to do is put in the work but you're not willing to do it you're not willing to improve India those are the people that become wealthy those are the people that become wealthy in India those are the people that become wealthy in the world they make something better My guy will you ever get rid of that forbell Indian accent and speak clearly Why wouldn't you want to change India and make it improve India is at the bottom of the world if you don't want to improve India than India will always be at the bottom and Indians will always be losers You are not coming back to India you belong in India India is your home and your country you visited America and now it's time for you to return Nonsense, Indians always make this misinformed claim Play me that Indians have the highest wages in America compared to any other minority or immigrant group or that they have the highest household income, this is just nonsense You don't understand the data and you don't understand wages versus a business 50% of Americans work for a small business or own a small business Americans are entrepreneurs, Indians are interested in wages this is a huge difference You don't understand wealth How are you going to get to 20 trillion dollars by 2040 the current GDP growth of India is 6.8% but the electricity growth of India is 6.3% you are 15% below electricity at the current rate you would be twelve trillion dollars by 2040 not 20000000000000 if you think you're going to be 20 trillion dollars by 2040 you will be 300% below electricity you have no clue what you're talking about typical of Indians to be ignorant And you are still loser is compared to the UK you are still poor compared to the British India GDP three point five 3.5 trillion dollars is nothing you are comparing 1 billion people to 65 million people Indians are still losers and poor compared to the British, c o p e The problem isn't India the problem is Indians you can escape India and you will still be losers in America because of Indian mentality You are Indian what's wrong with living in India if you don't like the way things are in India why don't you improve it, it's your country instead of running away and escaping and being a coward why aren't you a tiger and be courageous this is the problem with indians do you have any education at all,? What raw materials do you think we're being exported from India to the British or the UK? Ninety-eight percent of cotton imports to the UK or written came from Egypt America and Brazil in that made them rich not poor what would be wrong with India exporting gotten to the British or the UK? 98% Ninety-eight percent of Indian cotton state in India for Indian textile production India imported cotton thread for Indian textile production at a cheaper cost in India could produce themselves not inflated prices and 98% ninety-eight percent of Indian textiles produced in India stayed in India for Indian consumption consumers The British increased Indian textile production by 1000% and reduce the cost of textiles and clothing by 50% You are making false claims but you don't have any numbers to substantiate your claims Go look at the videos at my RU-vid channel and learn your Indian history It's typical of Indians to spew nonsense and ignorance

Hey Nishtha, great perspective. I moved to US 14 years ago, and hold a US passport now. Me and my wife have been toying with the the idea of moving back to India for a couple of years now. I've built my entire career building 0-1 venture scale startups. At this point the only thing that's holding me back is lack of similarly interesting work in Ahmedabad. My entire family lives in Ahmedabad. I have startup founder friends in Bangalore and Hyderabad, but moving there from the Bay Area doesn't make sense to me. It's Ahmedabad or bust. Ahmedabad and Indore are probably very similar as second tier cities. Any thoughts on building venture scale startups in Ahmedabad/Indore? Is it even possible?

Totally agree with all.. and finally Indian food is the BEST… 😋 Didnt pay much attention when growing up as it was routine back then at home, and was chasing for something for curiosity sake. After having tasted multi cuisines .. ooh my … I realized how much i love indian food and always go back to it… just simple “thali” has “carb, protein, fat” ”“A to Z” vitamins and “aluminum to zinc” minerals all in proportions Its like an american - wherever they go, the first thing they look for is a mcdonalds.. During visits when i see people in India running for the same pizzas burgers etc .. i just tell to myself give them their time to realize what JUNK they are putting in their body and after sometime they will turn around themselves.
