Foreigners settle in India more easily than Indians do abroad

Foreigners moving to India settle in the country quite easily—up to 80% of them feel at home in less than a year. On average, expats take 7.4 months “to feel like they belonged” in India, according to an HSBC survey released. Indians who move abroad, on the other hand, struggle in a new country. Only one in four felt at home instantly after shifting. A number of them encountered difficulties in assimilating into new communities.
