Bangalore Tops in NRI Hiring Than Any Other Indian Cities

"If candidates do not have specific pressures, based on factors like aged parents, spouse located elsewhere, bought a home in a different city, children' s school admissions etc, most of them prefer Bangalore,'' says B S Murthy, CEO of executive search firm Leadership Capital to Times of India.

It is not the case Bangalore prefers NRIs, most of the NRIs who wish to relocate to India also prefer Bangalore for their next place to work.

Business Head at Aim Plus Staffing, Ajay Dutt told that, Silicon valley of India became the top priority destination for a majority of returning professionals.  According to the CEO of HeadHunters, Kris Lakshmikanth, being the IT-hub of India, Bangalore offers more job opportunities. 60 percent of the returning professionals are techies and for them Bangalore offers the best chance to get hired. "Bangalore often becomes the only choice for candidates who have their origins in Kolkata, Bhubaneshwar, Lucknow etc. It's got great weather, it's neutral, relatively more safe to live and work and it's cosmopolitan,'' he says.

According to the TOI report, during 2013 financial year, India Inc is expected to hire around 35,000 "home-coming''.
