Nila Ragha talks to us about her relocation from New Jersey to Mumbai and how it provided her an opportunity to come back to her roots.
Moving to another location is one of the most stressful times in a person’s life. There is always the worry and concern about how you will settle in your new home country and who will be there to help and guide you through this phase.
Ensuring a seamless relocation and settling –in experience, required a lot of effort and planning.
In an exclusive Q&A session, Nila Ragha provides her personal account of the journey.
- What were your apprehensions / concerns while relocating to Mumbai?
Being used to a very independent and self-sufficient life in USA I was very apprehensive because I was relocating to a country about which I knew very little in respect to where to stay, where to shop, how to manage day to day living, how to communicate, pretty much everything that was second nature to me in my home country.
- Was this your first relocation experience ever?
I have travelled relocated for personal reasons several times - Zambia to UK to USA in my lifetime but never relocated for business and without a family member.
- Did you or your company choose Crown Relocations for your move - and were you satisfied with the decision? How are you adapting to your new environs?
Crown Relocations was chosen by Givaudan and I believe I am not their first employee for whom they have used the services of Crown Relocations. I am extremely satisfied with their decision and support it. I am adapting day by day learning something new each week and exploring new ways.
- Considering your long distance relocation, was communication ever a concern for you from the servicing team?
Overall I have had very open communication with the team and really appreciate the servicing team’s pre-emptive knowledge and consideration which led to a very smooth relocation.
- Your advice to others relocating to India.
I would certainly recommend share my positive experiences and recommend Crown Relocations to anyone.
