Smiling at strangers is common in the West but that's just an empty gesture because they don't care about you beyond that. Whereas in India, people might not be Smiling at the strangers, but when you ask for help, most people care and make an effort to help you, which is missing in the West. This was my own observation while I lived in Canada last one year.
Million zillion times agree with you on this
I agree with your Point.I have lived in Germany for 5 years and I know How hard it has become for me to find a friend from this Country.Although we go to Asian or African people to network as they are approachable and like to be friends
Canada is best country ever
You are fortunate enough to be Canadian citizen
Amazing country Canada

@@kishorepattnaik9430i have few white friends and i assure they are much better than my Indian mates
Amazing, thank you for coming back, instead of just pointing out the problem and then leaving India cuz of those problems, we must work to solve those problems, thank you sir for taking a step in this direction, really appreciate it❤
What are the real problems apart from Heavy Corruption?
Over the years H1B, F1 visas have been abused so much that the path to green card is 15-20 years. Glad that you made the decision by choice. Hope others do too.
ms in Germany is best than moving to India because you get PR in 2 years 😂😂. students who are going to usa for ms are fools. They are not considering visa issues in USA
Only if your employer doesn't file properly. If they file the paperwork correctly its quicker. But nothing stops the employer from keeping things vague and making you think process is going only for everything to stop when laid off.
The biggest abusive companies in USA towards the H1 or F1 are the indian consulting companies who squeeze every ounce of blood out of their own indian people, it is basically corporate slavery. They put a person illegally on two projects to get more profit with respect to billing.
No it’s more like 100-150yrs to get green card now for h1b 😂😂
@@asadb1990not for Indians.. Indians have 100-150yr wait to get GC on EB2 or EB3
I did my MBA from the US few years back and have a good job there. However, now I’ve come down to india to visit family and friends and will fly back to US in next few days. Now I’m seriously considering moving back to India. Home is home
Brother guide me I am doing a government job m 31 . I am considering doing a masters in economics or MBA if I opt to do a masters in economics here . My aim is at 35 ..it is worth it if I do mba or masters from there .or I would be having problems in getting jobs
Nobody should do MBA from USA without living in that country for at least 7 yrs and making progress in their career while working there. Why? Because MBA is very country specific. Wherever you do MBA from, you must decide to live in that country. Exception is: You family owns a successful small business in India. Otherwise your MBA from USA is useless in India.
@@bobbypanda6685 best piece of nonsense ever heard
If it is non-sense then what is your counter argument to call it non-sense? Please share it, so that people could genuinely benefit with your worldly wisdom and real life experience.
@@bobbypanda6685 looks like you are giving wisdom here and I’m not buying any of it. Based on your comments, looks like you have a need to seek approval and establish yourself as the righteous one here. This stems from a lack of self worth
I’m from CA, not many smile back or are friendly either. I agree things are more organized in US, people are more professional in terms of customer service and in India trust factor might be there..but I just noticed the other day my phone died and two persons in a shop quickly offered for me to use there phone. That wouldn’t happen mostly in US..I’d similar situation about 16yrs ago not one person was ready even listen to me asking for help and yet again it was an Indian who stepped in. Maybe it’s just a cultural thing people can help others here ..glad you made this change and enjoying your stay in India.
People in small town or mid size cities in the US have the habit of smiling back. Most big cities in the US are just that - Big cities.
Run way is far bigger in India compared to US, in terms cost of living.
Exploring India's geography is tied with History, is just tip of the iceberg, and then you come across multi culture, food, which is different in all places where ever you go... and then get to experience mountains, terrains, ocean, sea, monuments, museums, parks, sports u name it..
Crux is, if you save well in US / western countries for few years and then come back to India, you gonna live rest of your life in your terms which we coin as "Kings life"
Very well said 👍❤️
Isn't it going to ruin USA economy?
"if you save well"....is there a limit?
The better you forecast your expenses and save, you would definitely have the number which you can set it as limit or goal..
Conservatively you can add a contingency of 10% on top of it
Wht about the corrupt GOVT u have😂
Good to listen to you. I have been to US on visit visa for few times and stayed for few months. India is improving now. Still we are lagging behind in discipline and social cleanliness. Hope one day we overcome it.
Very useful video. Thanks for that. Another advantage in India that there is no random mass gun violence. Makes you feel safe.
Very true, completely agree with you. One can not live everyday life under the threat of getting killed for no valid reason.
Yup 👍
Higher risk of car accident deaths
If you want to go back to India , do it before you first child is under 5-7 years old . It becomes more difficult after that , progressively each passing year, and eventually it comes to a point when it is unfair on your children due to various reasons and also difficult for yourself and also difficult to reconnect with social contacts due to the fact that you can only settle in a cities like Banglore, Pune ( unless you are from those cities and you go back there).
And in India, people haven’t got time either, most people only socialise on WhatsApp and very superficial, so you may end up more lonely. So many factors to take in to account.
Once they develop that us accent then it's very very difficult in India
My son is 2years 4 months old and we have business here in Canada wants to move back to India.Thinking about the same how it affect our son .Is it good decision.Especially which city to go to or staying in your birth city where family is but then will my son adjust in those city or we have to choose city like Banglore , Pune where you get people moving alot from outside then the city especially in Punjab
@@adimahajan89_02 mam recently my sister's son came to India for a visit and they were struggling a lot so I think before admitting the child in school you have taken decision
Well said
Why anyone want to move back in linching place, no rules , no system . No idea
7:40
Yeah 👍 sir!
This is really the biggest problem in foreign countries. Being from a business family in Surat, I have learnt from my family that never consider a job and in a foreign country the situation is pretty different. You have to rely on your job and that the worst part of living abroad.
Thank you for sharing, would love to hear your perspectives on life and the realities of emigration
deepest condolences to you on your brother's loss.
it's nice to have you back in India. :)
glad you made the right call.stay blessed.😄
It must have very sad to have lost your brother especially since you were so close to him and you both held the same vision of working together. I am so sorry for your loss. But you can still work on your plans and achieve success. Your comparisons were very interesting I have been living in Australia for a number of years and it is a little different there - I visited India on a long stay for the first time since I left - about 1 and 1/2 years. I was renovating an apartment I hope to live in for a few months at a time each year. I must say although some systems have changed and more has been built up I found myself slotting into "daily life" quite easiily - which surprised me. I actually did not feel any urge to hurry back even when things would go wrong. I was ok with that - but mine is a different journey of course. Goodluck on your journey and thank you for sharing your experiance so far.
The USA isnt what it used to be anymore .. Jobs harder to find and inflation is very high ..can be a struggle
Very well said.
Man....I hope all the H1B and F1 visa people from India listen to you. Kudos!!!
You mean India is same. I mean no inflation and floods of Job.
@@divyang089 well there seems to be a lot more random shootings in the USA now as well. . which is a terrible thing
@@gregusjay: It is not new about America. I have been hearing about mass shooting since I came of age. It is like one of those terrorist attacks and railway accidents in India. Not a good thing but nothing out of the blue.
Thank you for giving you very honest feedback and POV
I have lived in USA for 32 years and I am ready to come back to
India during my retirement age …
You will be right back in the US. after 32 years of living? Anyway good luck
Love the last point. Making an impact.
I feel in a developing nation like India, the opportunities are enormous if you know how to attract the right crowd. We need more able leaders who can move the country in right direction.

Love one's matrubhumi, but always have immense gratitude for one's karmbhumi. A sense of gratitude is very important.
Love it. I too came back after few years. So I can understand your decision..
Great video. Thanks for sharing your experience. I am based in the EU and planning to move in 2/3 years. Have been here for 15 years. After a serious thought have decided to move back in a few years too 🤘🏼🤘🏼😃😃😃
Very nice video Shirish. I'm from Bangladesh, currently studying in Canada, and this is one thing I think about everyday
Good luck sir.. impactful work is great word. I think that’s what I want to do as well.
Thanks and you too can do impactful work, all the best ❤️
I liked your honesty.....whatever you said r very true👍🏼👌🏼❤️
Hope you are doing well 🥰
I completly agree with your view. I too was in US, graduated in 2009.
I also work in UBS in the same office. Agree 100% with you. Thinking about moving back to India every day.
Loved your candor in the video! This is my fifth year in the USA and I am contemplating moving back to India. Still undecided but hopefully will get clarity soon. Thank You for your honest share.
The USA 🇺🇸 actually has more social and economic inequalities than India 🇮🇳. I was born on brought up 🆙 in the USA 🇺🇸 and always felt lonely here even though I was born in the States.
Totally agree. I lived in US and UK for 20 yrs and eventually moved back to India. The main reason is isolation and loneliness.
I’m in India and feel lonely and isolated still. It depends. Not about the country always
@@vineelav7700 and no green card. Both countries did not give you Permanent residency. So you moved. You would have stayed if they gave you green card.
@@telugodu5 FYI I have my green card. And if you don’t know the immigration rules I can educate you. If you want a proof, message your phone # and I can provide you details. One can stay in India though they have green card. Stop posting stupid messages without knowing about whom you are talking to. Idiot.
That means you a rude person can't make friends and feel lonely, and rudeness is a heredity
So well describe about the life abroad. I agree people in india need to be friendly with each other a small smile can make soemone day.
We are very good in family but considering other people as human and thier need is also important.
❤️👍
I agree with your views. Indians abroad must come back and help in building India.They will get much more happiness because you are growing yourself and also helping India to grow.
I agree with you, but before building India the political system should be less corrupt and without bribes things should go ahead.
Seriously year by year thousands of Indians are leaving their Indian citizenship.
I am in the UK, there are times I think of returning to India. Though I haven't made up my mind, watching your video was very interesting to watch. I really liked your voice, man. It's so soothing. But I guess everyone is in a different journey in their life.
How does UK visa work ? How is path to PR in UK? Am in USA and I am fed up with this Visa stamping and I was stuck here unable to go vacation to India during Covid and it messed up my life.. so looking for other countries near to India…many of my friends in India are earning 50-60lpa but am in testing and in testing India salary is still not that much 😢
I believe these days - things have evolved so did the reasons.
Mental health and loneliness being the biggest here in North America. I have seen it, felt it and heard it from so many.
With so much immigration flowing into North America in past 10yrs, its getting equally competitive here as well.
There is 1 common theme I am hearing from people in software industry, and that is we are getting very well paid in India, why should we leave it.
I will be very interested how it goes in India in next 5 yrs before thinking of making a move after almost 15 yrs living in NA. :)
Interested in other's life....
Nice video ❤, appreciate your decision. Live peaceful life.
Hi Shirish. What a wonderful video. I am so glad I came across the video since I am in a similar position about making a decison to move to India. Congratulations to you on making a decision. Your thoughts about being more impactful echo with me. I completely agree with pros of USA life and challenges in India. One of the biggest reasons for me to consider the move is quality of life. I am in my early 40s and I feel with the kind of day today responsibilities in USA, one doesn't have quality time to enjoy life and relationships in USA. I feel most people are dragging their lives or have made compromises to do very limited activites, I guess to conserve energy and preserve sanity. I would like to connect with you and recieve some guidance about the transition to India.
what do u do there?
Thank you for letting me know and I am glad to hear your thoughts and views about the same. Sure we can connect, please DM me know instagram @shirishgee and let’s connect soon 😊❤️
It all depends on your age, profession,savings you had,family etc. So it is different for different people
Yes he must be rich
Thanks for he share shirish. In my case the cons of returning faaar outweigh the pros. I guess I'm good here. But enjoyed your perspective.
You moved back to India because you were on a visa. First of all it is not called as moving back. It is called as your temporary visa ended and there is no path way for your green card. So stop this thing that you moved to India on your wish. USA does not want you here and they don't want to give you permanent residency.
Thanks for sharing your experience 👏👏👌👌
Impact is very important, Thank you from Ireland ... coming back soon
I live in US and sometimes get the same feelings but the good part is my family is here too but that visa part is so very true and it bounds you to just do what you been asked to and it’s been 6 years now and don’t knw and I feel like all the desire of doing more or exploring more stuff dies and looks like people here do feel sometimes
What's your say about homeless people , gun violence and murder is it really going on or just hyped ?
@@gaurabsarkar834 I live in the Bay Area . .the homeless are very prevalent, crime is very common. My vehicle has had the catalytic converter stolen twice and 2 neighbors vehicles stolen . From what I can tell, the police are very busy and can only respond to severe situations. . it is not hyped. If you come here be aware of where are located. Some places are safer than others but there has been a defunding of the police movement brought by progressives and communities do suffer because of it. . plus it is now overly crowded in my area it makes life uncomfortable.
agreed
@@gaurabsarkar834 it's true. US has become a miserable place to live now especially after COVID-19
@@gaurabsarkar834there is more crime in Lucknow, I am in USA too
,,👌👍Good thing u came back to India All the best for all your endeavours bro
Great video 😊 I came across your video while pondering if I should look into moving to the US/ Dubai. I am definitely more inclined towards Dubai at the moment. As it’s an emerging market and it’s closer proximity to India. I am currently working on launching my leather goods brand hence I feel Dubai would also be a good choice for me. Just wanted to know what you think about the same?
You are truly shared things❤👌
Dear Sirish Guptha, thanks to you for throwing light on your getting back to your home land. I really liked your courage & enthusiasm in entreprenuering spirit, proving yourself. May you succeed in your chosen field. Blessings 'n Best wishes. Almighty grant you a very very Blissful life.💐🇮🇳💐
You have more status in your country, which brings more opportunities, and eventually money. In the US, you are treated as (skilled) labor, not as citizen.
Everybody who come legally to usa is a citizen . Stop with your bulshit
Your video is motivating me to move back to India. Sorry for the loss of your brother 👦 😢
I lost my older brother in 2019, and I am grieving every single day. Our love is so deep and immortal. I was told to get started on antidepressants but I refused as I am a health care provider myself. Because my grieving is the expression of our love, it’s not depression.
Thank you so much for the meaningful video 🙏
I moved back in Dec. 2016 the month Trump won. its been 6 years and I am still working remotely as consultant for US company. Best of both worlds. Remote US Job and staying close to parents exploring my country. Planning to semi retire when I am 40 in few years.
Wrong move don't semi retire you can work until 80
I accidentally found ur videos and trust me u r the most positive and energetic person i have ever met on u tube
Its amazing
Keep it up
❤❤❤
May all your dreams turn into reality.. Good luck..
Thank you so much for your kind words! Means a lot 😊❤️
You have pointed out the correct things.
you have elaborated clearly difference thanks
Thank you ❤️
Not a regular NRI and I don't have any wish to return home just yet or maybe ever. I don't live in the UK or USA though...I have lived and worked in different countries (not all of them were western countries). My child grew up in 5 different countries, goes to an international school with kids from 60 different countries, and feels at home in different cultures. His best friends are British and Colombian. A true third culture kid. He speaks his Indian mother tongue fluently at home, English with an accent, and Spanish. He plans to study in Europe after school and doesn't want to settle in India either. I find the quality of life to be much, much higher abroad and you get to be who you are. Yes, we miss our families back home but they visit and they understand and respect our choices. Not all NRIs go abroad just to make money (I am an educator, so definitely not in for the money) or work in IT:-) I love my life and I know I privileged to have lived in some amazing places and have met some amazing people along the way. Won't trade this life for anything.
That’s a wonderful life story that you have shared! Thank you for that and yes I am sure you have worked hard to be at this position and I wish you and your family all the love and happiness!! So happy for you 😊❤️
Thanks for sharing 🙏
My pleasure :)
May God bless you with whatever you expect in your life.
Thank you so much 😊❤️
Make an video on communication skills...
Your are too good at it..
Hi Bro, Nice and honest info n message for NRIs to return back to their pavilion....👍👍👍
2013 to 2023 many many things have been changed .. you made a tough decision back then but now its not tough anymore. Now India have improved a lot as a system where things are getting streamlined and easy unlike back in 2013.
Good video. Sounds like you stayed in the US for a few years before returning. What would you tell people who think of returning after a long stay in the US?
GREAT DECISION 👍
Good honest continue good info about enterprenuership 👍👍👍👍
Hi Shirish - I moved to the US in 2015. I had a successful growing business in India that was already supplying the US. Initially it was tough, as India is comfortable, it’s home, you have a network of people around you, you feel secure. The US has a sense of adventure, optimism, extremely business friendly environment, you feel like you can do anything - incomparable to anywhere else I have seen, including India where it is extremely tough to get that feeling and the environment is tough and very competitive. I feel happier here making less money and doing more myself than I did in India with a team of people around me and everything done for me. Visually the country is beautiful. What goes in comes out, you see nice things you feel good - I live in beautiful Southern California so that helps. Of course many things are to some extent self created. You create your own reality / environment based on how you are a person and how you process things. Both countries offer opportunities but US for sure is ahead leaps and bounds.
Have you thought about life in the United States 🇺🇸 outside of your California bubble? Do you have any desire to improve India 🇮🇳?
@@1525boy What is there to think? And why should i think of something that has no meaning to my existence? I have chosen to live in this bubble for a reason, it would be counter productive to live here but think of outside - makes no sense. No, i cant say that i have a desire to improve "India" - one, because that is a herculean task for any one person - i am neither a politician nor in public service, and two, because my life is here. I have to focus on improving my life and environment here. But that does not mean I am not happy to see India's success. Yes, if i move back to India i will do whatever best i can to contribute. I am assuming since you have used such big words, you must have done a lot for India and perhaps are famous for your work, please do share so we all get encouragement.
@@NK-ov6ni Has “no meaning to your existence?” You’re living in the United States 🇺🇸, so you should think about the country in its entirety. It definitely has meaning to your existence. California is an anomaly and is very different from the rest of the country. Why don’t you travel and explore the United States 🇺🇸 and see how wonderful it is especially for a brown skinned Indian guy.
I don’t know how much money you have because it takes A LOT of money 💵💰 to live well in California. You come across as someone who’s very self-absorbed, self-centered, selfish and greedy. No wonder the Indian Subcontinent is the way. Maybe you fit in perfectly in Southern California. It’s full of shallow, narcissistic, disconnected people like yourself.
So did you buy an investor GC? My only problem is spending here working life and retiring in India as I will be able to get GC due to the huge queue.
@@NK-ov6niI heard that engineers in SW are making hell amount of money, they're millionaires, you can't earn that money in any other developer country, SW salaries are so absurdly high and mind blowing to me. In my country our monthly salary is roughly 2000$ we work 10 year to get a small car. I would do everything to work there.
Very INSIGHTFUL & INSPIRING video, bro! You do become a ACCLAIMED ENTREPRENEUR one day for sure. FINGERS CROSSED :)
want go outside india and i am thinking on it but each time i think of my family it really gets harder each time .Thanks i did get motivated a little to go international
Uncertainty sucks...the fact that you get only 2 months to find another job is scary. EB2 GC process takes forever. These are some of the nightmares in the minds of lot of indians working in US.
Well said 👍
ground reality,well told.
why is the volume so loud bro? holy crap gave my ears a shock at the start.
That's really nice to hear I'm also planning to move back to india
That's the LIBERIAN FLAG 🇱🇷THO NOT THE AMERICAN ONE🇺🇲
Btw it's rather interesting to know how both the countries are connected in terms of shared history and why the LIBERIAN FLAG is similar to the AMERICAN one
Its very difficult decision to take. Both countries have its own advantage and disadvantages. But surely India is our home and feel so relaxed and homely in our home country. Here in US you get all luxurious things ,all amenities etc but no gharki feeling . You everytime aware that this is not your home. Health insurance is a big issue here. I miss Mumbai and definitely I m going back to my home India. ❤
Never do that

Then that's your problem you went for the wrong reasons!!
@@andreamessiasgomes7118 what are you reason for being in USA so long?

Liked your honest judgement
Thank you for sharing your experience Shirish! Having lived in the US and Canada for 7 years, I’ll be be moving within the next 2 years. Honestly scared with this change. Let’s hope whoever is thinking/making a decision gets clarity and the courage to take the leap ❤
Come on, you need to believe that you can change your life.🥰
Biggest make of your life will be moving back to India
You will regret it whole life
🙏 i was also abroad and come back and enjoying my struggle
Very useful information.
Thank you for sharing your experience after moving back to India.
It would be great if you can share some thoughts about personal finance management when moving back. Mainly pros and cons of keeping US bank accounts / investment accounts / 401K? Or move every dollars from from all accounts?
Looking forward to it! Thank you!
So well said .
I was also thinking to move back but dropped the plan after looking at climate situation in india .. you are soaked into co2 once you land
Good you shared
My opinion is that ur life expectancy is maximum 80yrs thus we have prioritise our internal happyness more.
💯inner peace and happiness is topmost ❤️😊
Great video 😊...... live n US over 40y's..... love it here....never want to move from here..... like to visit india or other places...... it's all depends family and friends..... around U...
I guess ppl returning can really help to change the mindset.... At the professional lvl and social lvl as well
In my opinion, India is more friendly. When I travel in a train, ppl sitting besides me, they strike a conversation and share their food and i can give tons of examples like this
It's not pocky to know about others. It's about knowing something about others and help friends and relatives.
Good information.
Working for Bharat Matha is the only mission we should have.....
I have been living in US since 2009 and am in the same dilemma of moving back or not.
One thing I want to understand is that when everyone says “close to family and friends” - is that really the case? I used to have many friends in India and I still do but with time everyone moves on. I am now in my early 40s and I have far more friends in US than India, even though I still talk to my friends in India very often (sometimes on a daily basis) and spend long hours on phone, but still they moved to different cities, everyone has a family, their priorities changed and all.
When I ask my friends in India about social gathering, they so far less than what I do here.
So is it really the case that you are moving closer to friends?
Good point .Truth
wherever you stays if you are a community or group ....then no issues or else loneliness kills later part of age (for some people)
Both has pros n cons depends what you value in life i.e family and friends or comfort and money.
Well, you enjoy where you are! Lot of people may not agree with you! But who cares? You are your own boss!
True it's getting better
Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you ❤️😊
After 17 years being in USA, got the GC.
I'm moving back to India in May-2024..
I did work with Indians from India here in Northern California , my understanding is Indians living and working in US or Canada feeling themselves far more better and important compare to Indians living and working in India , ???
Nice real life experience ❤
Hi Shirish ... you have uncanny resemblance with Hrithik Roshan 😊😊Welcome back to INDIA.. Our mother land❤❤
Brilliant analysis
Thank you :)
THANK GOD I ONLY IMAGINE OR THINK TO GO TO USA ,BUT NEVER SETTLE,THANK GOD !!!!! INDIA IS GOOD AND SAFETY PLACE TO LIVE ,INDIA IS STILL PROGRESSING 👍
Hey I just wanted to comment on what you said about impactful work. :) We have a really bad problem with that here in the USA you can tell that almost 0% of the employees are working to make an impact. They do minimum work and don't care about who it impacts. Its actually really sad. I am sure one of them will reply to this comment and maybe you will see what I am talking about.
I am sure what you said is right but for me Impact is important and trying my best to help others :) Also Impact is something that is derived from passion so we must first make people passionate to what they do!!
Hey Shirish, I’m really sorry for your loss. You seemed very young, your brother must be very young to pass. I’m living in US for over 25 years, never had a plan to move back (obviously my very personal reasons). For me at least I always wanted to leave India and not come back. However, I am profoundly Indian by heart…I work with offshore team and crave to speak the language…I’ve been polyglot growing up knew lot of languages Gujarati, Marathi, Hindi, Bhojpuri, Punjabi, I can understand Bangali but can’t speak. I love everything that is Indian food, music, festivals, culture… The things that I have missed about India was festivals and friends…my family is pretty much in US except for two first cousins.
Why did you leave your country ? And do you have any tips for that ? Because I want to leave my country too due to the difficult country conditions.
@@-Engineering01- you may relate to your situation…growing up in 70’s of India. I had three profound reasons…1. Corruption 2. Population and 3. Pollution I had always predated civil war in India, not happening was a little shock and miracle for me. After my undergrad I did work in India for couple of years and my intentions were kept getting stronger. As I had mentioned I am profoundly Indian by heart to this date (close to living 30 years outside of India)…I loved the common man, the culture, the ancient history, very high human values (back then) the list can go on. There were other reasons at the same time most of my immediate families were settled in US since 60’s. The time is much different today… Life and future are very complex, it keeps changing over time…you take decisions given your current circumstances and ability to see the future 5, 10, 15 years down the line. I am hoping this might help, one suggestion don’t make decisions for wrong reasons (and that is the challenge). I wish you the best life has to offer for you and your family!

@@-Engineering01-am not judging him but usually Gujrathis love US and I even witnessed some gujratis spending 1cr+ to reach US illegally… It’s all about social status and life style in Gujrati culture and Similarities can be seen in Punjabis moving to Canada.. Punjab has a popular richness and foreign brands show off culture..and again this is popular opinion and is not true for all…
