Are you relocating to Chennai? * Is Chennai a good city for making a home and raising a family? * What is special about this city? * Is it too conservative? These are sure to be the questions on your mind if you are planning to visit or relocate to Chennai. This city has a unique character. It is traditional, progressive and culturally very rich. If you want to experience life in a city that’s a perfect example of India’s economic and technological boom, yet retaining some of its most valued traditions and cultural wealth, Chennai is a brilliant choice. 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. An NRI who recently returned aptly states ‘I think the biggest plus as compared to a city like Mumbai is that you don’t have to grapple with a crowded metro system to get from point A to B or spend a fortune on cab rides. And if you compare Chennai with Delhi, again it has a much lower crime rate and is considered safer especially for women. To me these are big advantages that any expats will appreciate!
