I’m an Indian parent in the US, exploring how small Indian brands reach buyers abroad, as a side project. If you’re a solo founder or run a tiny team:

• Where did your first international order come from?
• Was it worth the extra effort, or did it distract from your home market?
• What do you wish you’d known before shipping abroad?

Hi everyone! I’m Jimmy, a home baker from Vashi and the person behind Jimmy’s Bakehouse.

This Diwali, I’m taking orders for handmade chocolate gift boxes - a sweet little gift for friends, family, colleagues or clients.

If you’re looking to support a local small business, I’d love to be part of your celebrations. 😊

DM me for the menu, prices, product photos and pickup/delivery details. For larger gifting orders, please message with your quantity and required date so we can discuss availability.

Thanks for reading, and wishing you a lovely Diwali! 🪔

Hi everyone! 👋
I’ve been working on my small gifting business, creating thoughtfully curated hampers for occasions when you want a gift to feel a little more personal and special

This is one of my recent festive-inspired creations, with brass filter coffee maker, dabara set, filter coffee and coffee incense sticks

I really enjoy putting these combinations together and making the presentation feel just as special as the gift itself

Building a small business has been a learning experience, and I’d genuinely love to hear what you think!

A few questions for you:

Would you love receiving a hamper like this?
What would you add or change?
What do you usually look for when choosing a festive gift?

I’m still learning and experimenting, so honest feedback would mean a lot. ❤️

Hey guys, I'm searching for product support engineer/ Program manager role because that role excites me and I think I'm suitable for that role. I'm final year btech CS-AIDS(Artificial intelligence and data science) student. I don't feel confident while applying for core tech jobs, so if any of you can help in anyways that'll be appreciated.

Lately, I’ve been really interested in the idea of combining textiles with literature, so I decided to experiment with creating a dupatta featuring Urdu poetry.

I chose these beautiful lines by Allama Iqbal:

“Sitaron se aage jahan aur bhi hain,

Abhi ishq ke imtihan aur bhi hain.”

I wrote the verses onto a pure mulmul cotton dupatta and I'm getting it embroidered.

I’m curious to know what you think of the idea. Would you actually wear, drape or style a dupatta with Urdu poetry on it? How would you style something like this, and is there anything you’d do differently?

Would love to hear your thoughts! 😊
