Barbara N BE438 Hungary
Area Manager Commercial Operations
Sziasztok! I am probably one of the very few Hungarian people living and working in Bangalore. I was born in Hungary, raised in Austria and Hungary, and lived all across Europe: Germany, France and most recently in Holland with my Dutch husband. He approached me a year ago with the idea of moving to India. In Bangalore, I initially followed my career path as a controller at one of the leading courier companies, but realized that my passion lay somewhere else. I speak Hungarian, German, Dutch, English and un peu de francais.
Organizing things, partying, meeting lots of different people, sports and traveling all boost up my energy level. What I love about India is that it manages to surprise you every single day! I hope you will find many friends through the BEC to share those surprises with.

Hi! I was referred to your site by a co-worker whose husband is a member of the club. Your group sounds amazing and a great way to meet new friends, acclimate to the area, and relieve some homesickness! I'm on a 6 month foreign assignment to Bangalore with Lenovo, a computer company where I was a marketing manager at home but here I am working on the implementation of a new global marketing hub. I'm extremely social, love to read, walk/jog, yoga, and basically just have fun. I only speak english but working with people all over the world, I'm pretty good at understanding all accents. I'd love to join your group!
