Your Expat Community in Bangalore

Your New Life in Bangalore

Bangalore is a city of contrasts, from the luxurious, high cost of living for one section of the community to the less affluent urban communities; generally, foreigners enjoy a good standard of living in this busy city. The industries of employment include a strong grounding in IT and biotechnology as well as electronic engineering and automotive manufacturing. Multi-national companies often recruit highly skilled workers from all over the world, as do venture capital companies settling in the "Silicon Valley of India". A diverse selection of international cuisine is available, from high-class restaurants to popular street foods. The local cuisine is influenced by Chinese, Thai, South Indian, North Indian, and Muslim dishes, with vegetarian Udupi restaurants also gaining popularity. You'll find curry, chutney, and kebabs sitting side by side with worldwide dishes from Italy and Spain. As time passes you'll notice that celebrations from Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity are observed as well as secular holidays like Valentine's Day. These religious celebrations reflect the blend of cultures in this busy, crowded city and add a festive energy to the calendar.
