About us

Your trusted buddy in India

Living overseas often means missing the convenience, variety and affordability of products available in India.

Finding the right supplier, negotiating prices, making payments, coordinating multiple purchases and arranging shipping can be challenging — especially when you're thousands of kilometres away. That's where Your India Buddy comes in.

We act as your trusted representative in India. Everyday essentials, stationery, corporate and customised gifts, Indian décor, traditional kitchen items, festival goodies, or something specific that's hard to find overseas — we help you find it, source it and coordinate the process.

Think of us as your person in India.

You tell us what you need. We help make it happen.

What customers say

Little pieces of home, delivered.

Families overseas and parents in India who let us do the running around.

I was looking for a few specific products from India, but coordinating everything from Australia seemed like a lot of work. Your India Buddy made it surprisingly simple. They understood my requirements, suggested locally available options, and coordinated the process from start to finish. The biggest advantage was the convenience — I could get things done in India without having to personally manage every little detail.

Living in New Zealand, we wanted our parents to be able to send us the homemade food and little things that remind us of home. But we didn't want them to go through the trouble of stepping out, sourcing, packing and arranging everything themselves.

Your India Buddy understood this so well. When my mother wanted authentic Kerala items sourced directly from Kerala, the team explored the right local providers, arranged everything with care and delivered it to her — she could manage it all from home without stepping out.

What touched us most was that they understood the emotion behind the request. It wasn't just about a service or a service charge. It was about helping parents send a little piece of home to their children abroad, while taking care of the entire ecosystem for them.

I came across Your India Buddy through a digital advertisement in our apartment. I initially called just to enquire, but I soon understood that they could manage the entire process end-to-end.

I'm 70 years old and staying in Saligramam, so stepping out frequently to shop, pack and courier things can be difficult. I had handmade little gifts and prepared homemade sambar and rasam powders for my son, daughter-in-law and my two grandchildren who live in the UK.

Your India Buddy team stayed in touch with me, checked every item carefully, helped with the packing and arranged the courier. I didn't have to worry about running around or managing everything myself.

For me, it wasn't just about sending a parcel. It was about sending a little piece of home and my love to my grandchildren. That's what made their service really special to me.

I initially wasn't sure how the whole process would work from Ireland. Your India Buddy team first took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and then explored the options available locally. What I really liked was that I didn't have to keep figuring things out myself. They handled the sourcing and coordination smoothly, kept me updated, and made the entire experience feel very seamless.

With my grandson's birthday approaching, we wanted to send personalised gifts from Chennai to his school friends and neighbours in Canada — something thoughtfully chosen with a special Indian touch.

Of course, everything is available in Canada, but receiving something specially selected and sent from home makes it feel so much more personal. It carries the care and affection.

I'm 65, and managing quotations, comparing prices, sourcing, packing and courier arrangements was difficult for me. I came across Your India Buddy through our apartment's digital advertisement, and they made the entire process so easy. They understood our requirements, sourced the right options, shared the pricing beforehand and took care of everything end-to-end.

The gifts were beautifully received, and seeing everyone enjoy them made us so happy. For us, it wasn't about the money — it was about sending something thoughtfully chosen from home, with all the love and affection that went into it.
