India e-Tourist visa (180 days/year, no DNV). Gujarat is alcohol-prohibition; business visa for B2B/work routes.
Editorial summary, not legal advice. Verify with the relevant consulate before applying — visa programs change with little notice.
Worth knowing: Tap water not potable. The squat-toilet to spray-hose switch on trains is real — bring tissues. Haggling expected for tuk-tuks if not using Uber/Ola/Rapido.
Editorial summary — norms vary by region within each country and shift over time. Read the local mood.
Swiggy
Swiggy usually wins on delivery speed; Zomato has the better restaurant discovery UI.
Editorial pick based on which app actually has restaurants AND working couriers in this city. Coverage shifts — apps pull out of markets all the time.
Uber
Uber and Ola split Indian cities — Ola is the home incumbent with deeper rickshaw integration. Rapido is the dominant bike-hailing app and often the cheapest option.
Editorial pick based on coverage, foreign-card UX, and how reliably drivers actually accept trips. Markets shift — apps pull out of countries and surge pricing varies wildly.
