Dear All, firt of all thank you so much for your prompt feedback. I will certainly take time to go through the participative guide during this weekend. I have been told the office is in SAKET. Any suggestion on areas to look into flats?Thanks, Viviana

yes. saket is in south delhi. metro train is available there. so tell ur employers to search a flat for you near to saket metro station coz saket is very big place. but if u will have ur own vhichle in india then u can live anywhere in saket. malviya nagar, hauz khas r some places near to saket and connected through metro train. so u can also think about to live there. search on google these places and then decide which is the best place for u to live.

Hi Viviana

I moved to Delhi at the end of August and still in a company guest house looking for a place.

If your company has a guest house I would recommend moving in to the guest house and then look for a place. I am using a number of agents who charge a number of weeks rent as there fee, you need to negotiate the fee with them. Will your company help you? Hopefully they will and take a hindi friend from your office with you when looking at apartments its well worth it.

Delhi can be a very expensive place to live and guess the type of accommodation you are used to is of good quality, so you will have to pay for it. Good 1 or 2 bed places seem to start from 50,000 INR, but you will be asked to pay a lot more which needs to be negotiated. Worth thinking about how you are going to get around Delhi - car, contract taxi, taxi, auto or metro. Metro can be good but very crowded.

Saket Mall is good. Seems to be quite a few europeans there. If you cant afford car with driver or contract taxi basing yourself around a metro station is a good idea. I am a few minutes walk from a metro.

You need in your apartment
- AC
- Backup power

Plus the normal requirements

Ciao Viviana, alle fine sei venuta in India?  Fammi sapere.  ci incontriamo.  ma sarebbe meglio se vieni a visitare prima o se devi venire soltanto per qualche mesi devi rimanere forte!!!  io l'ho fatto x 7 mesi ma era un po difficle.  vieni da sola?

In English please mariadifisola!

Thanks,
Harmonie.

Dear Viviana, nice to know I am not the only young woman thinking about this great challenge!

It is not definitely sure at the moment, but I have an opportunity to consider - I'd have to move to Noida and work for an Indian  fashion distributor.

I have been asked about expected salary, no idea what to reply properly.

Should somebody be able to help me facing this question, please help!

I'd be also glad to share our doubts/hopes and ideas about,I am 31 and I have never been there - not even for a trip....

why would people have to speak in english when it's an expat website.  people are going to speak in their native language

"decent lifestyle" can be affordable from 50,000 - 200,000, all depends on what can you earn.

Hi Viviana,

My sense is that you should go for a studio apartment in either Hauz Khas or Green Park area since Saket is a good area but sometimes transport there can be a bit pain. Also, certain pockets there are uninhabited and completely isolated, not good for a woman to stay all alone.

If you face any problem locating an apartment for yourself, do get in contact with us on the following contact point:

I think these answers and assistance are quite enough for you. Please try to live near the metro stations and for that Hauz Khas area is better choice. Welcome to India.
