How do I meet people in India?
When we asked people living in India about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...
"Expats living in India often join churches, sports teams, and local meet-up groups to connect with other expats. Additionally, many embassies and consulates host monthly social events where expats can meet and network with each other. Expats can also attend cultural and educational events hosted by universities or cultural organizations. Many expats find that the best way to meet people is to volunteer with a local charity, as many volunteers are fellow expats looking for a chance to meet other like-minded individuals. Lastly, joining local social media groups or discussion forums can be a great way for expats to connect with each other and share their experiences in India," remarked another expat in India.
"In 2010 we moved from New Zealand to Bangalore for my wife to take up a teaching role, along with us we brought our youngest son who was 9 at the time. We enrolled him in Trio World School (now Trio World Academy) where my wife was teaching. The school was a lot like being part of a large extended family, friendships were forged that have lasted till today and I expect beyond. At the time Trio being a International School following the Cambridge curriculum was an excellent fit and provided an incredible foundation for our son's future. Today Trio offers Cambridge and IB Curriculum's at Trio World Academy, ICSE Indian curriculum at Trio World School and world class kindergarten care at Trio Tots. I would absolutely recommend this school to parents wanting to educate their children in Bangalore," said a member in Bangalore, India.
