Let’s embark on a journey with Akshay and Anushri as we launch our “8 Questions: Beyond Borders” series. Eight years ago, this charismatic couple relocated from India to Singapore and created an extraordinary story along the way.
Akshay is a Software Engineering Developer who’s currently leading the Mobile App team at Grab, after working with Samsung and various startups in India. Anushri’s journey is equally inspiring – she fearlessly transitioned from being a lawyer to becoming a skilled UX-UI designer.
Akshay and Anushri embody a nomadic, travel-loving mindset. With their charm, knack for planning, and Excel sheet professionalism, they’ve truly mastered the art of making anywhere feel like home..
Akshay & Anushri: Excel sheets — lots of them. We tracked expenses, salary comparisons, paperwork, and notes on the working culture. We even had an Excel sheet for what items to pack! We’re pretty proud to say that we managed to fit our lives into just four suitcases, despite how chaotic moving can be.
Anushri & Akshay:
We found support in the local community, which organised weekly events for families. Singapore also has some government initiatives to make transitioning easier.
Anushri & Akshay: Dealing with housing was a challenge due to different systems and regulations than we were used to. There are a few rules in Singapore we had never heard about that before arriving. In retrospect, it would have been good to have some more time for research and to better understand the housing in Singapore.
Anushri & Akshay: Freedom, Flexibility, Family – and a lot of fun with board games! (That’s four words, but we’ve decided to let it slide!
Anushri & Akshay’s journey is all about thoughtful exploration. The couple approaches each move logically, turning their travels into well-planned adventures. Anushri’s nomadic spirit from pre-digital times guides her, Akshay, and their adorable princesses through a world of opportunities. Whatever the next stop may be, we can’t wait to hear of their next adventure!
