Welcome to my Return 2 India web site !
Returning to India is a dream to many NRI around the world and a plan for lot of them. Few get lost
in X+1 syndrome and postpone the plans every year until one day they realize it is not going to happen and throw their
towel.
In my humble opinion, R2I is not an easy idea. Those who think it is easy and not plan, are planning
to fail. There are various issues like finance and investments, job search, finding a good school for kids, find a good
house or apartment to settle down.
Some Plan to return to the same city they were born and grown and some return to another city where
the job opportunities are plenty ( like Bangalore). Building social network in this new city is a key for them.
There are several things we need to learn again to go back and leave in our home country. This is
ironical but there is no escape. There are some things we need to unlearn too. Some of us will be taken by reverse
culture shock, when we return back for permanent settlement. Unlearning few things will go long way in making the
transition smoother.
All is not easy or done after return. We might have left behind our retirement plan funds, taxable
mutual funds, bank accounts. Some of us have to file taxes in more than one countries, manage accounts abroad.
We have message boards to discuss all these subjects and plan carefully and learn from those who
already returned. Some of the lessons learnt could benefit us tremendously in our plans.
I opened this web site more than 3 years back to publish some articles I wrote in SIFY forum of
return to India. Further I am proud to be the founder of
R2I Finance forum and later
R2I Club.
