Despite their desire for a connection with India, NRIs face several significant challenges

The Problem

Many NRIs struggle to find new and trending Indian brands and products that reflect their culture and heritage, leading to feelings of disconnection from their roots.

Payment processing challenges

Cross-border transactions can be cumbersome, with limited secure and localized payment options available, making it difficult for NRIs to make purchases confidently.

Lack of awareness about products and trends

NRIs often miss out on the latest trends and products from India due to limited access to information and resources, making it hard for them to stay connected to their homeland's consumer landscape.
