"would you say it's costly in comparison to standard cost of living in India"

Yes. Especially in Mumbai where population density is crazy and real estate is premium. Even a 1000 sqft apartment may cost a Million USD. Sort of like NY/HongKong real estate prices. Many Prime locations have properties priced at $1000/sq ft.

holy crap...i have a home in one of the higher COL areas in the US and it's only $600/sq ft. I know there's probably a lot of politics and corruption involved but honestly, I'm more impressed and excited for the future of the country (India) if things are going that well over there.
