Delhi Relocation Guide
The Epicentre of Incredible India
Perfectly seated on the banks of the magnificent Yamuna River, the ancient city of Delhi has held an important position in the seat of power for more than one thousand years and through its eight successive cities it has evolved to become an embodiment of the collective ambition of the people of India. It is a fascinating place that plays host to captivating ancient and medieval ruins and moments, an interesting blend of diverse cultures and backgrounds, beautiful colonial architecture, a growing nightlife scene and a rich cultural and artistic movement.
Delhi is big, and still growing. A city that is accustomed to foreigners, the boom in high-tech industries and the lure of multi-national companies has generated a melting pot of people from all over the world and expatriates have become an ordinary feature of everyday life, albeit in a society that is very much Indian. The presence of diplomatic and trade missions, a large number of multinational companies and foreign investors, and a constant stream of visiting professionals give the city a cosmopolitan air that is both stimulating and fascinating.
