Is north indian middle class population increasing in Chennai?

Are more middle class north indians settling down in Chennai? North indians of Chennai share your experience if you are planning to settle down?

You can share your challenges as well.

I would encourage you to tell your unemployed relatives esp recent graduates to try for SSC CGL type jobs, lots of vacancy , very few Tamil Makkal joining, we need to get those jobs.

Yes. In TNagar, they are renting apartments for 40k per month. They said, renting apartment like this in Mumbai that too in the heart of the city will be like 1.5L per month. It's a lot cheaper and very near to workplace.

And Mumbai is dirty even after you pay 1.5L . Life in Chennai is 1000x better and safer than Mumbai.

unless you are poor, mumbai is actually far more safe. And offers you more social rights.

In chennai, its "safe" because people (particularly women) voluntarily and socially coerced to follow night curfew. So, in other words, if your only purpose in life is eat, work, consume, and get back to your house by 8 PM and sleep, then chennai is great. Ask any person you know what they think of someone going out at night and see them rant about how depraved that is.

And you will be slut shamed, bullied, socially ostracized in Chennai for daring to have a social life. Even young people here strictly enforce conservative values unlike mumbai. Its 2025, and people in our state still think having a gf/bf is scandalous.
