Eastward ho !

Times of India ( 12 May 2011 ), reports that Singapore expects to hire over 300,000 professionals in 2011.

Of these, some 60,000 will be from India.

Jayanthi Y, Chairman of hiring firm AdAstra Consultants says,

“ Singapore today offers a never-before opportunity for Indian talent. Its proximity is an attractive element, while salary is the biggest attraction. Professionals receive 4 to 5 times what they are paid in India.”

With maximum personal income tax at 15 % in Singapore and a mere 3 hour flight, Indian recruiters seem to be saying,

“ Go East, Young Man ! “

With regards

Hemen Parekh
