IKAN, talent mobility

Your programme sets the scope. Your life shapes the plan.

When your employer, mobility team or RMC appoints IKAN, your consultant turns the agreed service scope into a plan for real life, including immigration, school timing, commute, partner needs, pets and home.

What we plan around

The programme defines the services. Your household defines what matters.

Once IKAN is appointed to the move, your consultant starts with the agreed scope and the questions that affect daily life, then joins them into one practical plan.

  1. Children

    School timing can change the home search

    Curriculum, application windows, seats and commute can reshape where you live. Schools make the admissions decision.

    School and neighbourhood questions
  2. Partner

    One career is not the whole move

    Daily life, work options, networks and independence belong in the family plan from the beginning.

    Partner and family priorities
  3. Pet

    Your pet needs a plan too

    The animal, origin, destination, airline and date determine the documents and welfare requirements.

    Pet travel checklist
  4. Commute

    A short distance can be a long journey

    Work and school anchors help us compare areas before homes are shortlisted.

  5. Timing

    A faster move needs earlier answers

    A short window does not remove authority, property or admissions constraints. It makes early review more important.

    First-things-first plan

What changes with IKAN

Clarity before confidence.

Services and support channels follow the scope agreed with your employer, mobility team or RMC. Your consultant also confirms authority requirements, dates, school seats, property availability and pet travel requirements before any commitment is made.

01

One named person to guide the move

Within the agreed programme scope, a consultant coordinates the move while specialists handle the parts that genuinely need them.

02

Home decisions built around daily life

Commute, school, budget and household needs shape the areas and current options to consider.

03

School guidance without false certainty

IKAN can research and coordinate; schools control assessments, seats and admissions.

04

The whole household in the brief

Partner needs, children, pets and accessibility requirements are part of the move, not afterthoughts.

Pooja was 100% committed to make our relocation comfortable. Requirements were taken seriously, advise was given honestly and timelines were always met. Thank you for making the start in Delhi so smooth for us!

Know what is decided,and what still needs you.

The family experience becomes calmer when priorities, options and next decisions stay visible. This is a specimen, not a live client record.
