Starting a story about India, two important aspects should be noted:

• In this country, there is a huge difference in mentality and, in this regard, a lot of features of work, management and approaches to personnel management.
• India's economy is one of the largest in the world in terms of GDP. According to WTO statistics, India's share in world exports of goods is 1.66% (19th place), in imports - 2.47% (12th place). India's share in world exports of services is 3.3% (6th place), in imports - 2.9% (7th place).

India is a land of contrasts. Here in the immediate vicinity live the richest people of the planet and the "untouchables" - people who do not even have funds for food and housing. Business and the nature of work are influenced, first of all, by the division of the population (1 billion 200 million people) into castes. Indians work, marry, and make friends depending on their belonging to a particular caste. In ancient India, castes were divided into 4 groups: priests were classified as brahmanas, warriors were classified as kshatriyas, in the Vaishya caste were workers, and servants and laborers were classified as sudras. In modern India, castes are divided into more than 3000 subgroups.

His future work depends on which caste a person belongs to. There are many nuances, but if we explain with simple examples, then brahmanas (higher caste) cannot work as laborers, and sudras (lower caste) can only be servants and don’t even dare to think about work “to their liking”.

About the pros

India is a beautiful country with a distinctive culture, interesting traditions and magical nature. This is the first and, as it seems to us, the main advantage of working in this country. Here is a review of an expat (as they call qualified foreign employees in India) who moved to India for permanent residence:

“What was most enjoyable about moving to a new location was the view from the office to the ocean. After the Moscow rush, nerves and stress, this view is absolutely priceless, and, especially, the opportunity to go to the ocean in difficult moments and listen to its whisper. "

Another significant plus is being prepared by Indian IT and multinational companies: if an employee changes jobs (of his own free will and without significant complaints from the previous management), he can count on a salary increase of at least 30%. A higher position is also assumed. It is important that at the interview the candidate is not even offered similar conditions or a position lower than at the previous job.

Labor migration is common in India. In search of a “better lot,” employees move from one end of the country to the other. If the candidate is a family person, the employing company can pay for the move or at least help it as much as possible.

About cons

Most Indian companies operate six days a week. Business owners who prefer five days are more likely the exception. On Saturdays, company personnel work half or full-time, and in some companies, the worker is every second Saturday of the month.

The country is highly competitive not only among companies, but also among hired personnel. Everyone values ​​their place, and therefore there is no time for fun at work.

However, gossip in the office is not the prerogative of Russian workers; in India, talking on abstract topics, discussing someone else's personal life is not just a norm, but a way of life. In general, as expats write on the forums, Indians perceive the whole world as one big family. Therefore, it is perfectly normal for an unfamiliar colleague to ask you about personal questions and give you advice that is usually only heard from relatives or a best friend.

It is not so easy for an expat to officially get a job. According to the law, the minimum wage of a foreigner in India must be at least 25 thousand dollars per year. Many Indian companies simply cannot afford to hire such an expensive employee.
