For many, landing in India is like a crash course on social disparities and social issues, but nonetheless, this is an amazing lesson we all must learn before reaching adulthood. However, the lesson goes beyond the social struggles and expands to diverse challenges that people from developing countries face every day.

While parts of India struggle with real poverty, inequality and social disparities, others grow and develop under the visitor’s and locals’ eyes. Cities like Mumbai and New Delhi are some of those cities on a development peak, integrating the limiting settlements and contributing to their development. The next generations contribute to the country’s development, as in India there are several technological hubs with an immense potential.
