'The real reason Indians don't return from Canada isn't the air or food': Indian techie in Canada explains why

Rohit Gupta, an Indian IT professional living in Halifax, Canada, shared why many Indians abroad choose not to return home. He said the reason is not better air, food or civic sense, but the work-life balance. Gupta explained that Canadian workplaces respect fixed hours, encourage employees to take leave and discourage staying late to impress managers. He contrasted this with the pressure some Indian employees face to work longer hours and justify time off.
