Relocating to Delhi? Brace yourself for a city of 16.8 million people, where the air quality is consistently ranked among the world's worst. With heavy bureaucracy and a semi-arid climate, Delhi can be a persistent headache for newcomers. However, as the economic powerhouse of northern India, the city offers unparalleled job opportunities and a melting pot of cultures. Whether Delhi is the right fit depends on your tolerance for urban chaos and environmental challenges.
