Expat Guide to Living in Delhi

Delhi is home to one of South Asia's largest and most established expat communities, drawn by the opportunities of India's capital city and its position as the hub for diplomacy, international organisations, and multinational business in the region. Expats typically settle in South Delhi (Vasant Vihar, GK1 & GK2, Saket) or the satellite city of Gurgaon across the border in Haryana, which offers newer infrastructure and proximity to the corporate campuses where many expats work. Air quality is the primary lifestyle consideration, with the winter months requiring air purifiers and careful outdoor management.
