There is a small community of Singaporeans in India, consisting largely of expatriate professionals from Singapore and their families as well as international students at Indian universities, including the citizens of India who identify themselves to be of Singaporean descent. Most of them are Singaporeans of Indian descent along with a small number of Chinese Singaporeans working there and they live mainly in Chennai and Bangalore.
Overview[edit]
With India following in China's footsteps as an economic powerhouse, many Singaporeans have been relocating there, mostly to Chennai, Bangalore, Mumbai and New Delhi. In 2005, the Indian High Commission issued 60,000 business and travel visas to Singaporeans.[2] A large number of Singaporeans based in Chennai consists mainly of businessmen.[3] There are now about 500 Singaporeans in India for business purposes. It is estimated that the number of Singaporeans working in India has gone up by about 20 per cent annually in the last three to five years.
Students, too, have been flocking to India for internships. In 2007, 91 students from the Singapore Management University (SMU) migrated to India for such internships. Internships in India also made up more than one-third of all overseas internships at SMU.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
