Gushwork co-founder Nayrhit and his wife Rishita Das decided to move back to India last year after living for some time in the United States. The couple had moved to the US for their higher education after graduating from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur in 2016. Nayrhit now divides his time between India and the US, where his company Gushwork is still based, while Rishita is an Assistant Professor of Aerospace Engineering at IISc Bengaluru .
After completing one year of living in India, they have shared a thread on 10 key observations on the two countries. “To all the Indian 20-40 year olds who are contemplating their move back to India but are filled with uncertainties, this is an honest compilation of 10 differences we observed after our move back here!” Nayrhit wrote on X yesterday. Here is what the couple learnt from moving back to India: Domestic help For Nayrhit and Rishita, the first difference between India and US is the ease and affordability of having a domestic help in their home country.
“While I do worry about the of the cost of labour being cheap, the convenience is undeniable - an 15-20 extra hours each week as working couple is a luxury tough to imagine back in the US,” wrote the co-founder of Gushwork. Traffic For them, traffic in India is not necessarily worse than it is downtown New York or San Francisco, but it is certainly more unpredictable and irritating. They don’t see a solution to this problem in the near future.
