Introducing the IKAN City Expert Series.

Every city in India has its own rhythm and its own compliance landscape for foreign nationals arriving for the first time.

What works in Bengaluru is not always what applies in Mumbai. What a professional moving to Hyderabad needs to know in their first week is different from what someone arriving in Delhi has to navigate.

At IKAN, we do not manage destination services remotely. Every city we serve has an expert who has worked in it, lived in it, and guided hundreds of assignees through it.

Here is what our city expert Rajesh Yerra, Associate Director of Client Services, has to say about Chennai.

If your organisation is moving talent into Chennai and wants city-level expertise built into the programme, our Destination Services team would be glad to share how we approach it.

Singapore brought the Asia-Pacific mobility community into one room this week at WERC APAC 2026. The conversations were sharp, the perspectives were diverse, and the direction of the industry was clear.


The themes that stayed with us:


➡️ Mobility volumes across APAC are rising faster than programme infrastructure can keep pace. The pressure point is not talent supply. It is operational readiness on the ground.


➡️ Cost containment is back on the agenda, but organisations that have tried to cut their way to efficiency are finding that assignee attrition is the hidden cost they did not budget for.


➡️ India's position as a destination country was a recurring theme, driven by GCC expansion and the scale of international leadership moving into the subcontinent. The compliance and destination services infrastructure required to support this is significant.


➡️ The technology conversation in APAC mobility is maturing. The question is no longer whether to digitise. It is which parts of the experience must remain deeply human, and how technology supports rather than replaces that.


Thank you to everyone who took the time to connect with our team. If we did not get a chance to speak in Singapore, we would welcome the conversation here.

The employee expectations conversation in mobility has fundamentally shifted. And the organisations that are still designing programmes around what worked five years ago are feeling it in their satisfaction scores and retention data.

Here is what employees and assignees are telling us directly and through the programmes we manage:

➡️ They expect a consumer-grade experience. Fast, transparent, digital-first, and highly responsive. The standard is not set by other mobility providers, it is set by every other service they use in their personal lives. The bar is high and it is not coming down.

➡️ They want ready-to-move-in, fully serviced accommodation - not a lease they need to furnish and set up while simultaneously starting a new role in an unfamiliar city. The transition period is stressful enough without adding logistics to it.

➡️ They need flexibility. Shorter leases, the ability to upgrade or adjust based on how the assignment evolves, and genuine responsiveness to location preferences. Rigid, one-size-fits-all housing solutions create friction that shows up quickly.

➡️ They want real-time visibility — not monthly updates. Knowing where their shipment is, what the next compliance step is, and who to call when something changes is not a premium expectation. It is the baseline.

➡️ They expect personalisation. Solutions tailored to how they actually live — their family structure, their lifestyle, their specific city needs — not a standardised package applied uniformly across a programme.

Mobility programmes that close this expectation gap do not just improve assignee satisfaction. They improve assignment success rates. The two are directly connected.

"What do foreign nationals assigned to India need to know about compliance and why does getting it wrong cost so much more than getting it right?

India's compliance environment for international assignees is more layered than most mobility programmes account for. At IKAN, our Destination Services team works through these requirements every day. Here is what we see most often:

➡️ Aadhaar registration is not only for Indian citizens. Certain visa categories require it — and the eligibility rules are frequently misunderstood. Missing this window creates downstream problems with banking, housing, and everyday life in India.

➡️ FRO (Foreigners Regional Registration Office) registration has strict timelines that vary by nationality and visa type. Most delays happen because companies do not build this into their pre-arrival planning.

➡️ Statutory obligations for assignees — PF exemption applications, social security considerations, tax registration — depend on assignment type, duration, and home country treaty positions. Treating them generically is where programmes get caught out.

➡️ The most effective mobility teams start compliance preparation before the assignee lands. Not as a checklist but as a sequenced process with clear ownership.

India is one of the most rewarding destinations for international assignees. It is also one where preparation determines experience. The friction that shows up in the first few weeks is almost always avoidable.

If your organisation is managing inbound assignments to India and navigating these requirements, our Destination Services team comprising Pooja Sapra, Harveer Singh Chadha, and Reynold Varghese would be glad to share what we have learned.

Four days in Malta, hundreds of conversations, and one industry taking stock of where it is headed.

The EuRA Global Conference 2026 brought together relocation professionals and mobility leaders from across the world, and the discussions this year reflected how much the landscape has shifted.

Here are the themes that came up most consistently in our conversations:

➡️ Compliance complexity is increasing, not stabilising. Immigration policy changes across key corridors are creating real operational pressure for mobility teams managing high volumes.

➡️ The conversation around AI in mobility has moved from “Should we use it” to “How do we use it well?”. The distinction between automating processes and augmenting expertise was a recurring thread.

➡️ Employee experience is becoming a competitive differentiator for mobility programmes. Organisations that invest in the human side of relocation — destination support, family integration, settling-in services — are seeing measurably better assignment outcomes.

➡️ India continues to be one of the most discussed inbound mobility destinations globally, driven by GCC expansion and the movement of international leadership into the country.

Thank you to everyone who connected with our team in Malta — Diwakar Gupta, Harveer Singh Chadha, Pooja Sapra, and Reynold Varghese. The conversations at events like EuRA are where the industry moves forward.

On Labour Day, we think about what work actually means in a global mobility context.

Every year, thousands of professionals make the decision to relocate — to take on a role in a new country, build something in a market they do not yet know, and ask their families to follow. It is one of the most significant professional commitments a person can make.

Behind every one of those decisions is a mobility team that made it possible:

➡️ The HR leaders who fight for the right policy - one that reflects how people actually live, not just how programmes are designed.

➡️ The mobility managers who navigate compliance, housing, immigration, and a hundred other moving parts across multiple geographies simultaneously.

➡️ The destination services teams and consultants on the ground who ensure that when someone arrives in a new city, they feel looked after and not just processed.

➡️ And the assignees themselves, and the families who follow, whose willingness to move makes global organisations possible.

To everyone in the talent mobility ecosystem: the work you do matters. Happy Labour Day.

The most important conversation in any relocation isn’t about timelines or documentation.

It’s the one where someone asks: what does success actually look like for this family?
The earlier that conversation happens, the smoother everything else becomes.

Most organisations review their mobility policies only when something breaks. If your mobility policy was written before remote work, before the GCC boom, and before 2020, it was written for a world that no longer exists.

You now need to accommodate assignment types, family structures, dual-career considerations, short-term moves, return-trip expectations, and others. It's how you stay relevant.

What triggered the last update to your mobility policy?
