When we asked people living in India about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...

"Learning the traditional handicrafts and culinary classes, the expats club, the Local city clubs for networking, joining Red Cross and other NGO"s who have volunteers from school and colleges, working for the masses and improving the quality of life," commented one expat who made the move to Hyderabad, India.

"Expats living in India often join churches, sports teams, and local meet-up groups to connect with other expats. Additionally, many embassies and consulates host monthly social events where expats can meet and network with each other. Expats can also attend cultural and educational events hosted by universities or cultural organizations. Many expats find that the best way to meet people is to volunteer with a local charity, as many volunteers are fellow expats looking for a chance to meet other like-minded individuals. Lastly, joining local social media groups or discussion forums can be a great way for expats to connect with each other and share their experiences in India," remarked another expat in India.
