When individuals move to New Delhi, they are often taken aback by how different living in India is from their home country.
After the initial culture shock, most people who move to India grow to love their new country and home.
Meeting People
When you first move to India, you may find that people in New Delhi do not readily accept you into social circles.
Some locals have a way of only interacting with their own circle of friends.
Relax, and understand that it will take some time to make your own circle of friends.
Start by initiating conversations with your neighbors or other expats.
If you move to New Delhi with children, invite your children’s friends’ parents to go on outings with the kids.
Soon enough, you will make friends with other expats and locals.
Enjoy the Culture

Keep it Safe
When you hire new people to help care for your children or take care of your home, get background references and recommendations.
Expat groups can be a great resource when you are in need of hiring people to help you with daily activities.
Any big city can have its dangers and New Delhi is no different.
The violent crime in India is basically non-existent when compared to the United States.
However, crimes do happen so you need to always be aware of your surroundings.
Pickpockets are a big problem in New Delhi, so keep your valuables in a safe place.

Dust is another factor you will have to deal with when moving to India.
The good news is that you will have warm weather!
If you are used to snow, you will not longer have to shovel driveways or deal with frost.
Weekend Getaways
When you need a break from all the hustle and bustle of the big city, try to get away when you can.

When you move to New Delhi with IntlMOVE, meet up with some expats. It can be hard to meet the locals as they have very close groups they usually stick to. However, when you do become friends with locals, they treat you like family. It is so nice!
