Back to India – here’s why…

A month back 2/3 of us made it back to India with a one-way ticket. The last third joined us today. As you might suspect this ‘move’ will trigger many posts in the coming months, so I wanted to start from the start. Why move back after a decade? from California? from Silicon Valley?

The reasons are all too typical -
For me it’s 40% family and 40% solar/cleantech opportunity in India and 20% loads of reasons some of which become more pronounced during cricket games, festivals, househelp discussions, patriotism, desiness, and what not
For Hrishi it is almost all family
….and we are hoping that in our own ways we will be able to find a place to stand and feel comfortable about this decision.

We have given ourselves a 2-yr time window – which is somewhat artificial ’cause it depends on the green-card, etc BUT in some ways real because that the amount of time most of our returned friends took to ‘settle-in’.

It’s been a good start to this adventure so far. Fingers crossed!!
