Hi Pune community!

Me and my wife are two Turkish citizens from Izmir. She has now been offered a tempting position in the global service center of her company, at Pune. Frankly, we have never heard of the city before. That's quite normal, as I am pretty sure noone in Pune ever heard of our city Izmir before. Still a big world

Here is the issue, although Indian culture is quite charming for both of us, Turkey and India are still two diverse countries. SO we feel concerned about how to get involved into the city life in Pune. We might find a path...However, can you pls share some headlines from your own experiense. What were the hardest and what were better than you have foreseen?

Another issue is about me. She is securing her place but I'll still need a job. I have a BA degree of International Relations from a reputable university. Further, been working for, like 7 years. Do you think I can find a job there? As a job seeker in Pune w/o knowing the native language(or languages, as there are many)...

Thanks in advance for your helping hands.
Cheers!
Tuna.

About job for self you need to take assistance of employer of your spouse. May be they can help you as without Work Permit it will be difficult to get a job. As for living in Pune (Poona)it is a good city and just 3 hours away from Mumbai. It is also a chosen city for retired life. People are educated,decent and helpful.

Hmm, nice to read everybody is so enthusiastic about Pune!! I'm moving there (probably) in August this year to work for my (Indian) employer.

As I do not know the city yet, can anybody give some ideas about good/nice neighbourhoods to live? My Indian colleagues are really happy about and advice me to find an apartment in a guarded complex with a lot of facilities inside the 'compound'. This actually doesn't attract me that much...
I'm very interested in your experience with housing and neighbourhoods in Pune? Any advice on nice area's?

many thanks in advance!

I will suggest Koregaon Park or Kalyani Nagar as there are many expats staying with cosmopolitan culture. Of course Pune is very nice and safe place , I am staying there since 20 years.
Cheers......
Best Luck.....

Pune is really cool city to be in.
There are few people from Turkey in Pune.
many foreigners living here from long time.
You can get job mostly with Expat & relocation companies in Pune.
You can Google them
there are quite a few.
No need of language learning to survive as many people speak English.
