According to a recent report, Hyderabad and Pune are still the most liveable cities in India for expatriates, though the global rank of both these cities remained a paltry 143.

These cities were followed by other India metropolitan areas of Bengaluru (149), Mumbai (154) and New Delhi (162). It should be noted that the rankings of these three cities remain unchanged from last year’s ranking for overall quality of living.

The 21st report titled ‘Quality of Living survey’ was published by Mercer, the world's largest human resources consulting firm. The survey is conducted annually to enable multinational companies and other organisations to compensate employees fairly when placing them on international assignments.

Globally, Vienna topped the ranking for the tenth consecutive year, closely followed by Zurich (2). In joint third place are Auckland, Munich and Vancouver – the highest ranking city in North America for the last 10 years.

Helps Companies To Locate Employees

“Companies looking to expand overseas have a host of considerations when identifying where best to locate staff and new offices. The key is relevant, reliable data and standardised measurement, which are essential for employers to make critical decisions, from deciding where to establish offices to determining how to distribute, house and remunerate their global workforces,” stated Mercer.
