| Today, after almost 21 years, I'm
extremely happy and well-settled. I
came here in 1990 on behalf of my old
company on a contract which gave me
the chance to interact with the people
of Vadodara and understand the
business climate here. Even then, the
city was full of entrepreneurs who were
more than happy to do business with
foreigners. |
|
| Eventually, I opted out of my firm and
started my own business. The only
apprehension I had was whether I'd be
successful in my venture. But I found it
more than easy to navigate my way
through as a stranger and my business
has grown from a staff of four and a
rather small turnover to a staff of 60 and
an attractive turnover. |
|
| So yes, it's been a great journey.

|
| For the traveller - Vadodara is great if you
want to experience India. It has its own
unique, distinctive cosmopolitan culture
which doesn't take much time to grow on
you. Also, it has great connectivity - there
are regular flights out to Bombay / Delhi.
Ahmedabad which is just two hours away
has flights going out to various parts of
the world. Moreover, NH-8 offers you
with the chance to see really interesting
places in India. |
|
| For the family man - Vadodara is
incredibly safe. Friendly and caring
people. Good schools. Great houses at
competitive prices. Household help is
also easily available. I can tell you from
my experience - once you ease in, which
is fairly quick, it'll be next to impossible
for you to leave because you wouldn't
want to trade your newfound comfort
with anything - not for the world. |
