About me

Hi! I’m Avan Vora, and I moved back to India after spending a decade in the US. I now live in Mumbai with my family. My journey began in 2012 when I moved to the US for my Master’s at Georgia Tech, graduating in 2013. I then spent 7 years in Boston working in Data Science & Analytics at McKinsey & Wayfair. My wife joined me in 2015, and over time, we built a comfortable life in the US. In 2021, we made the big decision to move back to be closer to family. The transition wasn’t easy and I quickly realized how many NRIs struggle with the same questions and challenges. That’s why I started ReturningIndians.com - to help others navigate this journey with better information and support. Since then, we’ve helped hundreds of NRIs plan their move, and our WhatsApp community has grown to 500+ members. But my goal isn’t just to help people move - it’s to provide honest, unbiased advice so you can make the decision that’s truly right for you, whether that means returning to India or staying where you are. It’s been incredibly fulfilling to be part of so many journeys, and I look forward to helping even more people make this transition on their own terms.
