For years, the allure of a foreign land has been urging Indians to leave the comfort of their home land to move to far away countries. While earlier, moving to another country for the purpose of work or education was a rather difficult process, things have become much simpler with time. According to an analysis by India Spend based on data from the United Nations Department of Economic Affairs, the number of Indians moving abroad saw a 143 percent spike between 1990-2017. With an estimated 17 million Indians living abroad by 2017, India today is the largest source country for international migrants globally.
