HYDERABAD, INDIA It is rare to come across a place that welcomes the 21st century with an 'adaab'. Hyderabad is one such place. There
is so much here to awe the senses. From the magnificent food to the majestic monuments, from its terrific landscapes to a populace steeped in respect and tradition. Consisting of the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, Hyderabad is also the capital of the state of Andhra Pradesh. Once the largest princely state in India, Hyderabad had its own flag, currency, railway, and postal system, before being incorporated into the Indian nation.
With a rich history, Hyderabad boasts of some fine examples of Qutab Shahi architecture - the Jami Masjid, the
Mecca Masjid, Toli Masjid and of course, the impressive symbol of Hyderabad, the Charminar. A unique feature of the city is that it is the only city in the south, where the major language spoken is Urdu. Home to the Nizams, reportedly, the world's richest royals, Hyderabad is also home to famous folk arts like shadow puppetry and kuchipudi dance. Population of Hyderabad is around 8 million.
Flights to Hyderabad The swanky new Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, is located at a 50-minute drive from Hyderabad. India’s geographic positioning is 8-10 hours from the heart of
Europe and is only about 4-5 hours away from the heart of Asia / Middle East for airlines. This effectively means one can travel and arrive same day from most destinations across the world, bringing down the opportunity cost.
Almost all international airlines operate in India.
International and domestic flights connect Hyderabad
to all cities in India and other countries. Arrival and
departure timings are available at the website of the
Hyderabad international airport for international and

PLACES OF INTEREST
Charminar Charminar – the principal landmark of the city is among the wonders of India. It was built by the ruler Quli Qutab Shah in honour of his Hindu wife Bhagmati. According to legends, this is the place where the king first saw his lover and was attracted by her beauty. The monument is
surrounded by a very busy market place and is located in a prominent area of the old city. This magnificent edifice has four huge minars or pillars, hence called Charminar. Built to a height of 56.7meters (186 feet) and on a square base of 31.5 meters (100 feet), Charminar is said to be a prototype of Tazia, a representation of the tomb of Imam Husain. The monument

The origins of the fort can be traced back to the Yadava dynasty of Deogiri and the Kakatiyas of Warangal. Golconda was originally a mud fort, which passed to the Bahmani dynasty and later to the Qutb Shahis, who held it from 1518 to 1687 A.D. The first three
Qutb Shahi kings rebuilt Golconda, over a span of 62 years. The fort is famous for its acoustics, palaces, ingenious water supply system and the famous Fateh Rahben gun, one of the cannons used in the last siege of Golconda by Aurangzeb, to whom the fort ultimately fell.

It borders Pakistan to the west; China, Nepal, and Bhutan to the northeast; and Bangladesh and Myanmar to the east. In the Indian Ocean, India is in the vicinity of Sri Lanka, Maldives, and Indonesia.
Home to the Indus Valley civilization and a region of historic trade routes and vast empires, the Indian subcontinent was recognized for its commercial and cultural wealth for much of its long history. Four major world religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism originated here, while Islam, Christianity, Judaism and Zoroastrianism arrived in the first millennium CE and shaped the region's variegated culture. Gradually annexed by the British East India Company from the early eighteenth century and colonized by the United Kingdom from the mid-nineteenth century, India became a modern nation-state in 1947 after a struggle for independence that was marked by widespread use of nonviolent resistance as a means of social and political protest.
With the world's twelfth largest economy by market exchange rates and the fourth largest in purchasing power, India has made rapid economic progress in the last decade. Although the country's standard of living is projected to rise sharply in the next half-century, it currently battles high levels of poverty, illiteracy, persistent malnutrition, and environmental degradation. In addition to being a pluralistic, multi-lingual, and multi-ethnic society, India is also home to a diversity of wildlife in a variety of protected habitats and national parks.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. What is the current currency exchange rate?
24
The currency of India is the Rupee, which is divided into 100 paise. The Rupee comes in denominations of Rs.5, Rs.10, Rs.20, Rs.50, Rs.100, Rs.500 and Rs.1000. The printing of notes in the denominations of Re.1 and Rs.2 has been discontinued as these denominations have been
coinised. However, such notes issued earlier are still in circulation. The current exchange rate is US$1 = INR 60.
2. What is the population and main language used? There are over 1.2 billion Indians today and the number is
growing every year. English is commonly used in all business transactions. Ten years ago, the United States was the country with the largest English-speaking population. Today, India has taken over that status. With roughly a third of its population – or more than 330 million – possessing English language capability, India has more people speaking the language than the US and UK combined However, the main spoken languages are Hindi
and Urdu. India also has 25 other major regional languages!
3. What is the climate like?
India has a tropical climate with three main seasons: Summer season: April to Mid-June Monsoon season: Late June to February Winter season: October to March
4. What is the proper clothing to wear in India’s
climate? I also hear that Indians are a more
conservative lot especially compared to people in
Western countries. What kind of clothes would be
acceptable? During the winter months of October to March, light
woolen clothes would be preferred. For the rest of the year, it can be very hot, so light, tropical clothing is advised. Shorts, minis and tank tops are unadvisable unless you're on a beach. In small towns and cities especially, people may tend to stare if you expose too much skin. Safe clothing would be trousers, peddle pushers, capris, skirts, tops and shirts. India has great cottons, which are trendy and affordable. Buy yourself some. Women could try
wearing a salwar kameez, which is very cool and comfortable and could even improve the attitude of people towards them – salwar kameez are quite acceptable in Business meetings. Business attire is appropriate for business visits. We suggest that you plan to wear the same suit more than once to conserve suitcase space. Bring at least one pair of comfortable shoes!

Offices: 0930-1700 Mon-Fri, 0930-1300 Sat Shops: 0930-2000 Mon-Sat
6. How safe is drinking water in India?
If you are from a foreign country, you may not be used to drinking the water here. Hence, we advise that you pick up
a bottle of mineral water, which is cheap and widely
available and usually provided in hotel rooms. Order the same when you are at a restaurant. As far as possible, avoid drinking any kind of water or juices from roadside carts and vendors; and, avoid ice outside places!
7. How should I tip waiters at restaurants / hotels? In restaurants or hotels, a 10% service charge is often added to bills, in which case there is no need to tip. In smaller places, where tipping is optional, you need only tip a maximum of 10 percentage of your bill. It is customary to tip waiters, porters, guides and drivers.
8. How safe is it to eat non-vegetarian food in India?
Food is safe if eaten in a good hotel or restaurant. Available: wonderful chicken and lamb dishes are offered. Unavailable: India, being a primarily Hindu country, beef and pork are not easily available.

The economy of India is the fourth largest in the world as measured by purchasing power parity, with a gross domestic product (GDP) of around US $4 trillion. India is the second fastest growing major economy in the world,
with a GDP growth rate of around 6% at present.
Although two-thirds of the Indian workforce still earns their livelihood directly or indirectly through agriculture, services are a growing sector and are playing an increasingly important role in India's economy. The advent of the digital age, and the large number of young and educated populace fluent in English, is gradually transforming India as an important 'back office' destination for foreign companies for outsourcing of their customer
services and technical support.
India faces a burgeoning population and the challenge of
economic and social inequality. Poverty remains a serious problem, although it has declined significantly since independence, mainly due to the green revolution and economic reforms.

US$40 per day should be sufficient to cover both lunch and dinner.
