NRI School Admission Concierge

A specialized admissions platform for NRIs trying to get their kids into Indian international, IB, CBSE, or ICSE schools from abroad — provides transparent seat availability, mid-year admission specialists, donation/capitation fee benchmarks (the unspoken reality), curriculum matching from your current school system, and virtual school tours coordinated to your timezone.

NRI Parent Care Coordinator

A care coordination platform built for NRIs whose aging parents live alone in India — coordinates doctor appointments, medication tracking, bill payments, emergency contacts, and trusted caregivers across multiple family members in multiple timezones. Lets you check on your mom from San Francisco at 9am Pacific (9:30pm India) and see today's blood pressure, what she ate, and that her cataract follow-up is scheduled for Friday.

NRI Locality Match

A specialized location intelligence platform that matches returning NRIs to specific Indian cities and neighborhoods based on what actually matters to them — air quality history, international school availability and seat openings, gated community amenities, distance to airport for family visits, internet quality for remote work, and cost of living vs equivalent in their current country. The 71-comment 'find a town' thread shows NRIs currently rely on Reddit anecdotes for this $300K+ decision.

💼

India Job Search Coordinator for NRIs

A purpose-built job search platform for NRIs abroad trying to land an India-based role — provides a working Indian phone number with IST-hours routing, recruiter outreach templates that work in the Indian market, interview prep for India's brutal DSA-heavy tech interviews, USD-to-INR compensation benchmarks, and a calendar that handles the 9–14 hour time difference. The 23-upvote insight: you can't find an India job from abroad without an Indian phone number recruiters will actually call.

🧭

NRI Return Planning OS

A self-serve software platform that orchestrates the multi-year financial and tax transition of moving back to India from the US, Canada, UK, or UAE — picks the optimal return date to maximize your RNOR window, tracks cost-basis reset deadlines across brokerages, generates FATCA/FBAR/FEMA documents, plans 401k/IRA/HSA decisions, and coordinates NRE/NRO/RFC account transitions. Not a CA marketplace. A 24-month guided system that runs in the background and tells you what to do this quarter.
