India has changed correct ey kaani - Nothing has changed in the bureaucracy or government level, except for private sector. Corruption, Caste, Chinna/Peddha doesnt change sadly.

My observation in the last 3 visits.

Previously you had to go to a bank, e-seva to pay bills, grocery stores, and restaurants where the nuisance parts come into the picture. Same with going to movies. 

Now a lot of these can be done online. You can easily avoid people and these situations. 

For other things, you have no choice.

govt services have not changed much, private sector has made wonderful strides

Our parents generation are used to it - i hate to the core that you to smile and act normal with people that always are happy for your downfall or just there for your money.

Too much money is also not good to stay in India.

If you can get present job in India then bargain for best package. This will decide whether you can survive or not. Example, if you have 10 years real experience then around 30 L is what u can expect. If this workout then I don’t know about India but atleast Hyderabad, you will enjoy. Stay near office even if it cost you. Education, schools are at next level to teach kids standards depend on price. Water you can buy, summer but challenge. Servants many but costs depend on community. Food better cook at home or home cook. Weekends drives or resorts and chill. 

people talk only negatives but there will be always pros and cons

Inka 30L ekkada bhayya - Already 10 yrs exp ki 50L/60L kanna takkuva expect cheyatle india lo

One of my cousins moved back, they are well settled in India, so for him life is more luxurious there. He is helping father's business, farmhouse sittings in the evening and taking an international trip every 2 months to places like Bangkok, Russia and Dubai. He doesn't want to come back to US at any cost. 

Other cousin didn't save much and doesn't have rich parents. He transferred his job to Chase Hyderabad and went back before Covid. He was making around 55L per annum, still he came back last year to US. Even though he got 3.5L per month after taxes, after 2 kids international school fees, car emi, maids and other expenses he wasn't saving much and he hated the office politics and kiss bosses ass culture there. So he came back.

Bottom line if you have 10 crores plus assets, a paid off home and no need to work them go back. Otherwise stay in the US. 

Once your kids are 10 to 12 years of age the window closes, you have to wait until they move out to college but by that time you will be in your 50s..

Realistic scenario, School fees anni next level lo unnay if you go for IB or International schools. 10Crs is good amount as of this year thats true.

I went through something similar when relocating internationally, and careful planning really made the difference. Sorting out reliable movers and organizing shipping ahead of time saves a lot of stress later. I used https://discountmoving.ca/fr/ for my move — they handle international relocations and gave great guidance on packing, customs, and timelines. Having that professional support really helped everything go smoothly.

Correct anna, spoke with my friend HR recruiter at my company[decent sized company of 10k employees]. He says IT job openings ki local resumes itself chala vastunayi so sponsorship for regular IT jobs is a no no. He said director, VP level and absolutely needed aiyte tappa corporate will not approve sponsorship. 

And going forward with AI, Local talent and overall no jobs it is going to get worse.

Yes prediction is AI will eliminate most of the jobs in IT.https://fortune.com/2025/10/15/jpmorgan-ceo-jamie-dimon-ai-job-losses/. When it happens what can H1b folks do other than going back to India? Current IT landscape is not like it was 5-10 years back.Most of the remaining IT jobs can be easily done by locals with AI

You are already seeing early trends of folks going back, just check RTI forums in different social media

The scale will only get bigger in the next few years as Indian prosperity and infra rises, folks will still be in denial though like here in db saying no one will go

like many folks said overall net worth of 2M$ will be sufficient which can give you a semi-decent Villa/apt, car and some bank balance/assets which can give recurring income with out worrying about job

Also, there are lot of predictions that dollar will keep going down in value, you will not notice it though, all assets will keep getting inflated and it will be harder to afford, read about potential de-dollarisation, rise of gold etc,  If Rupee gets stronger in longer run, which I think 'may' happen in few years then its mostly game over for NRIs as you can not afford the life style inflation/stagflation here and you can not go back even if you want to, imagine Dollar dropping 20% in value and Rupee appreciating 20%, it will be like double whammy, hope it doesn't come to that

folks who want to go back I feel its best before 2030, after that things could be tough to return back

anyway, this is based on what I heard, I could be totally wrong and nothing happens and rupee will continue to depreciate to 100, who knows, thanks for reading my essay, now go enjoy the weekend!
