Delhi is the capital of India and has a very mixed reputation. It is the most astonishing city in the country, the most overwhelming, the most chaotic, the most polluted and the most frantically busy. But on the other hand it is the most modern, developed, growing and magnificent city too.

India represents everything that is old and new. It has the ancient forts and temples, museums housing ancient artefacts and relics, the chaotic and very narrow streets, some of the most unbelievable electricity cables, terrible traffic and sometimes terrible pluming and then…

It has the new! There are the amazing wide streets with policeman wearing gloves and directing the traffic, it has huge enormous buildings, amazing shops and stores, there are markets, an incredible section of everything, hotels, a booming tourist industry, an extraordinary metro system and a whole lot of extraordinary rickshaw and tuk-tuk drivers too.

You can never get over Delhi. It overwhelms and there is always something new to see and discover. If you’re a tourist, you can send a week and it’s quite a good idea to be organised. And if you’re on business in Delhi, it’s a good idea to be organised too. Stay in a hotel close to your place of work so your travel time is quick. Be organised with meetings and transport. Prebook the fabulous restaurants and organise a guide for half a day to take you shopping or sightseeing.

Modern Delhi offers a lot. Delhi is the centre of politics in India, of Government, of international trade, culture and literature and is in fact, an economical GIANT. The service sector is one of the biggest parts of Delhi’s economy, with the bulk of the population engaged in some kind of sales, marketing, trade, finance, public admin or professional skills. Since the 1990s Delhi has emerged as a powerhouse for International corporates, banks and IT firms.

All major corporate and worldwide companies can be found in Delhi which is also why business is booming. The IT business, Information Technology, has pretty much taken over everything, as it has or is throughout the world, and there is hardly a company that does not use the services of IT specialists. Not just one, mind you. Everyone needs a website, website developer and a digital marketing. Almost all of Delhi’s companies do marketing online.

If you look at Delhi’s recruitment agencies, there are tons of jobs going in Delhi. Sure, you need to have some kind of certificate or degree, because we all know Delhi also has an enormous problem with unemployment and poverty. But if you have studied — and there are plenty of good schools and universities in the city — and you have an education, you will find work. The service industry is always looking for people, the banks and the finance companies, and of course the IT specialists are constantly searching.
Two of the industries that are ‘relatively easy’ to get into would be the Service Industry and IT. Because Delhi has such a huge tourist market, there are always people needed in service. And because of the extraordinary growth in IT, jobs are abundant. But qualifications help. Consider doing online courses, looking at web development, digital marketing, web design, SEO and SEM. www.aceproschool.com is an Indian based company that specialises in online courses in IT. Get yourself a certificate. Or two. They are very good.
