[DeTomaso] NPC - anyone with firsthand experience of living or working in India?

[Himes, Terry (397C)]

We do lots of business with India Space Agency.  NISAR is the current mission.  I have not been there but those 
who have report back “if your rich, you will live well, if you are poor… it really sucks!”  Gov. Employee’s are not 
rich, so…

How long will your tour be?  If it is long enough, there are tax advantages, I believe.

I will check around and get more feedback.

    Have just been offered a big-time promotion that would require relocating to

    have until March to take the decision. 
    
     
    
    Anyone spent a lot of time in the country, or had business dealings in India
    that could give me some background?
