Indian entrepreneur Meghna left her high-flying media career to move to Denmark with her husband five years ago. Despite initial warnings about job difficulties for spouses, she secured a role at a reputable Danish organization, though with reduced seniority. After experiencing 2023 layoffs, she founded Pillion Expats consultancy. Meghna revealed that despite being in India's top 1% income bracket, their purchasing power felt limited, with most income going to rent and investments. In Denmark, earning average salaries with double income enabled them to buy an apartment and travel frequently. She highlights Denmark's safety and freedom for women, though notes quick-commerce services are absent and finding jobs remains challenging for Global South immigrants. (PC: HT)
