Relocating within one's own country is cumbersome enough, so one can imagine what it would be like to move to a different country all together. As the Indian workplace gets increasingly "global" and people cross borders like never before, relocation experts move in to make this shift as hassle free as possible.

One such company is the Chennai-based Global Adjustments Services Pvt Ltd with regional offices in Bangalore, Pune, Delhi, Mumbai and Hyderabad. Started by an entrepreneur Ranjini Manian, and Joanne Grady Huskey, this company has catered to the relocation needs of more than 70 different nationalities.

Their services typically fall under two categories: realty and relocation services. This means they give tips on property trends and help you locate your home in a new city. If you opt for the relocation services, they'll assist you in doing up your home, buying appliances, opening bank accounts, acquiring maids, getting telephone and internet connections, and finding a school for your kid.

If you are new to the city they'll take you on a city-familiarisation tour. And if you are planning to set up business, they'll even help you launch your factory if you so desire.

A 24-hour phone and e-mail helpline has been set up for customers to deal with any queries or emergencies. Recently, an e-learning portal for cross-cultural classroom training sessions has been introduced. And, that’s not all; a programme to help people effectively wind up their homes in India is also available. This service involves everything: from transfer of school records to final billing and disposal of cars.

Well, with relocation experts, moving cities isn’t so hard after all.
