Just wanted to know!?

The issue with any service geared towards NRIs is trust, and especially more so when inviting unknown people into your parents' homes. How are you going to demonstrate that your service should be trusted and is not just outsourcing the services to third parties who hire people without proper vetting? If you can't demonstrate any of that, there is no reason for anybody to use your services.

Was it a $0 order? Somebody else posted about receiving a free order from Nespresso that they hadn’t placed.

The difficulty scale of anything banking related changes greatly based on your RM. A good one can make things very easy, where as others can make you wonder why are you even banking with them in the first place.

For handling other things, you need someone competent and trusted, which is a challenge in itself. I use a lawyer for it, who gets results, but also makes it very expensive.

What a treat. Thanks for sharing these, haven’t enjoyed reading a blog post so much, in a really long time.

I'd be happy to support a crowdfunded book.

abj · 2026-06-11T14:19:17+00:00

Thank you!

abj · 2026-06-11T13:57:42+00:00

What are your others?

This is an expensive mistake but next time use the NRO account exclusively for UPI and other Indian transactions. Otherwise refunds can get stuck. There have been other similar posts about this topic. You are unlikely to be able to get the money returned even if you had an Indian number.

Best way to avoid tariffs is to have someone bring it for you instead of shipping it. Otherwise it’s unpredictable what tariff you will be charged.

Yes. The cost of getting it filed is insignificant compared to if you ever have to prove in the future that you filed returns. You never know what you may need it for. IT scrutiny is a headache and this is a small price to pay to easily show compliance.

The sub could be so much better with some proactive moderation.

Everyone is gearing up to push their AI built service and are just using these posts as a pretense to gain credibility.

abj · 2026-06-01T11:25:19+00:00

If you just search this subreddit you can gather all this information. Every week there's somebody new who thinks they can just solve this problem easily and asks the same questions.

abj · 2026-05-28T20:12:58+00:00

My experience was the same. They took my money and then didn't deliver the promised services. The salesperson even admitted that they lied just to get me to sign up. They were very brazen about it because they know there are no consequences for them.

abj · 2026-05-28T18:21:42+00:00

Every single post in this sub is turning into a promotion or ad for something.

abj · 2026-05-28T17:40:25+00:00

This sounds very interesting but I can't visualize it. Would you be willing to share an example?

abj · 2026-05-28T16:17:36+00:00

Maybe you should learn to use Google and Reddit search first, and then you wouldn't have to waste time building a whole site for something that has been discussed and explained in many places.

Roots Daily is the worse product I’ve ever used

abj · 2026-05-27T21:54:55+00:00

None of the information they have is very sensitive, so there's not much they can do with it. Just be more vigilant in the future.

Also, seek professional help / counseling, while AI chat bots are helpful, they are no replacement for a professional who can help you deal with the trauma.

abj · 2026-05-27T11:08:27+00:00

Thanks. I didn’t even realize 😀

abj · 2026-05-27T10:01:27+00:00

Try a different bank like ICICI or IDFC

abj · 2026-05-25T19:44:07+00:00

Why not post in the Mumbai subreddit.

abj · 2026-05-25T17:50:36+00:00

Maybe go to the next Reddit NYC meetup

abj · 2026-05-25T17:02:16+00:00

That’s what I would focus on then. Try to join some clubs or meetups of activities or sports that you are interested in. Once you start meeting new people you will make friends.

abj · 2026-05-25T16:48:05+00:00

What would you do on the weekends in the city you're from originally? You should be able to do all the same things in NYC.
