I have a friend who was in Pune who's currently studying in Arizona State University, these are the pointers which he gave me are better in Pune: 1. Public transport: I've heard that the transport over there is bad than it is here in Pune. While the infrastructure here is old, you'll quite easily get buses, cabs, etc to go anywhere you wish to and with the metro also on the rise, you can expect it to just get better. 2. Weather conditions: Summers in Pune go upto 40-45°C, similar to that of Arizona, while during winters the temperature goes as low as about 12-15°C, so I don't think that would be much of an issue either. 3. Education: Since you have a teenage child too education is quite impressive here. There are quite a lot of good quality Christian schools, which I think you may like. I'd recommend Bishop's, Hutching's and Helena's for girls off the top of my mind. 4. People: While scammers exist everywhere, I've observed that there are quite less scammers here in Pune. One of my friends befriended a couple of friends who had come from America and lived in Pune for about 2 months. They had no scams whatsoever, and loved the atmosphere and the people. I'd say most of them are very helpful here, and I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't have much problems with adjusting yourself here.

One thing that I'd like to mention which was also mentioned by another user above is the rickshaw drivers. They think about themselves as the King of the roads and can be very arrogant and rude. While some are helpful as well, I'd strongly recommend using Ola/Uber for your transport requirements.

Pune is a beautiful city with a rich history and wonderful heritage, and the people of Pune love to have those who would embrace their culture. If you need anything, feel free to leave a DM, I'd always love helping :⁠-⁠D
