Indian woman breaks down soaring cost of living in California with family of 4. Video
An Indian woman residing in the United States has drawn attention online after breaking down her family's monthly expenses while living in California's San Francisco Bay Area. Shivee, the woman behind the viral clip, shared a detailed video on Instagram offering a glimpse into her household budget as a family of four. An Indian woman living in the US revealed her family's detailed monthly budget.(Instagram/shiveetalks) (Also read: US woman living in India uses simple math to show why rupees offer better value than dollars) In the voiceover accompanying the video, Shivee narrates, 'Here is how much we spent living in the San Francisco Bay Area as a family of four. Renting a two-bed, two-bath apartment in the East Bay, $3,300. Full-time daycare costs for our toddler, $2,400. Grocery expenses, including Costco, Walmart, and Indian grocery shopping, $1,000. Utilities, such as phone bill, internet, electricity, $500.' She continued, 'Gas expenses, we still do not drive our car much, but the gas is expensive here, $200. My transport to San Francisco for work, $150. Gym memberships and group workout classes, $200. Car insurance, which is $1,600 a year, so $130 a month. That's a total of about $7,900. I'll add a 10 percent miscellaneous because I'm sure I missed something. That's a total of $8,700 of fixed expenses. Our monthly variable expenses, including eating out and shopping, is still about $1,000. Total expenses of about $9,000 to $10,000 a month. Our travel budgets are separate from the above presented expenses.' The clip, overlayed with the text 'Expenses for a family of 4 living in the San Francisco Bay Area', is captioned: 'Expenses for a family of 4 in Fremont, California'. Watch the clip here: Rupee vs Dollar: A Different Perspective This is not the first time such comparisons have gained attention online. Previously, an American woman named Kristen Fischer, who has been living in India for four years, sparked discussion on Instagram after explaining why the Indian rupee offers better domestic purchasing power than the US dollar. Take a look here at the video: 'Rupees in India stretch further than the relative dollars do in the USA,' Fischer wrote in the caption of her video, which has received over 139,000 views. 'Sure incomes are higher in the USA, but everything costs more there too.' She added, 'The average cost of a haircut in India is around 100 rupees. The average cost of a haircut in the USA is 40 dollars (3,400 rupees). This means you could buy 34 haircuts in India for the same amount of money as one haircut in the USA.'

Global capability centers : Opportunities in tier 2 cities
Global Capability Centers (GCCs) in India have traditionally been concentrated in metropolitan cities, including Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, and Chennai, due to the availability of skilled talent, infrastructure, and industry ecosystems. However, according to Arjun S Harsh from leading real estate consultancy Excelsior India Consultancy Services LLP based in Chandigarh and Gurugram, rising operational costs, talent saturation, and increasing competition for skilled professionals are pushing GCCs to explore Tier 2 cities such as Mohali, Jaipur, Kochi, Indore, Coimbatore, and Bhubaneswar. These cities offer cost advantages, lower attrition rates, and a growing talent pool, making them attractive for GCC expansion. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Excelsior India Consultancy Services LLP (@ According to research by Excelsior India, GCCs must focus on talent availability, skill development, and industry-academia collaboration to fully leverage this shift and ensure a sustainable workforce in tier 2 cities. These cities offer advantages in terms of cost-effective talent, with salaries being 20-30% lower than in metros, reducing operational costs for GCCs. Moreover, employees in Tier 2 cities exhibit higher retention rates due to better work-life balance and proximity to hometowns. These towns and cities also have a strong engineering college education base, producing a steady stream of graduates, while state government incentives include subsidies, tax benefits, and infrastructure support to attract GCCs. However, relocation to Tier 2 cities is not without its risks either, as per Arjun S Harsh . Some challenges include skill gaps in terms of a mismatch between industry requirements and graduate skills. Other issues may include infrastructure constraints such as international connectivity and bandwidth issues, and a limited skilled talent pool as well. To bridge the skill gap and build a future-ready workforce, GCCs can adopt the following strategies: 1. Strengthening industry-academia collaboration, including partnering with local universities to design customised curriculum aligned with GCC needs, establishing Centers of Excellence (CoEs) in emerging technologies (AI, IoT, data analytics) within colleges. Live Events 2. Upskilling and reskilling programmes, such as launching corporate training programmes in collaboration with ed-tech platforms (Coursera, Udemy, UpGrad). Developing in-house certification programs tailored to GCC operations (IT/ITES, finance, engineering) and encouraging continuous learning through digital platforms and mentorship initiatives would help as well. 3. Government and private sector partnerships under initiatives such as Skill India Digital to train professionals and collaborations with Nasscom, TiE, and other industry bodies to drive skill development. Supporting startup incubators would foster innovation and entrepreneurship in Tier 2 cities as well. 4. Focus on soft skills and global competency, including training employees in communication, problem-solving, and cross-cultural collaboration to meet global client expectations, and implementing language training programs (especially for BPO/KPO GCCs). In conclusion, Tier 2 cities present a compelling opportunity for GCCs to expand beyond metros. Proactive collaboration between corporations, academia, and government will be key to building a sustainable talent pipeline in India's emerging GCC hubs.
