As a Non-Resident Indian (NRI), living in the UK for over a decade,
Chetana Somavarapu always had a hard time getting hold of Indian products at reasonable prices. She hoarded anything that came from India like sweets, pickles, and ethnic clothes with care.
For most non-resident Indians abroad, the cheapest way to get access to traditional products would be getting their friends and family back home send over the things they needed. However, Chetana believes asking for favours even from family members sometimes became a little too much. Her parents were also elderly and ailing and would find it difficult to go through the process.
