I feel like cheap quality products are quietly ruining small brands (especially in India) Every time I scroll Instagram or marketplaces, I see the same thing super cheap products being sold at crazy low prices. And I get it… price matters. But here’s the problem no one talks about: When customers repeatedly receive low-quality products, they stop trusting *small brands as a whole*. Not just that one seller ALL small brands. So even if someone is genuinely trying to build something good with better materials, better finishing, better packaging they still get hit with: “Why is this so expensive? I saw the same for ₹99.” But it’s not the same. It just *looks* the same. Be...

My neighbour recently got placed at Target with a starting package of around 12 LPA(I guess not sure), and I was curious about the long-term growth there. For people working at Target (India), how does compensation typically grow over time?

Today, that narrative is changing. It stems from the need to make a different approach in how industries design, produce and recover products — driving manufacturers towards smarter, more responsible systems. A key enabler of this transformation is [**adhesive technology**](https://soudal.in/product-category/adhesives/) frequently an afterthought.

​ Hi, I’m an Indian student currently studying in Tbilisi, Georgia, applying for a South Korea short-term visa (C-3, for internship/training).

Okay so I spent way too long trying to piece together the OCI application process from a dozen different consulate websites, each with outdated or incomplete info. Wanted to share what I learned in case it saves someone else the headache. Quick summary of how it actually works: 1. Check eligibility at [ociservices.gov.in](http://ociservices.gov.in) (former Indian citizens, children/grandchildren of Indian citizens, spouses, etc.) 2. Fill the online application there — Part A and Part B. Do NOT close the browser mid-way, the session times out. 3. Upload docs and pay the fee online (\~$275 govt fee + \~$26 VFS service charge, verify current amounts before paying) 4. Print your application ...

A few days ago I posted on r/IndianEntrepreneur about leaving pharma sales to start Dhriti, a handcrafted glycerin soap brand. I thought I'd get maybe 50 views and a "good luck bro." 350 upvotes. 111 comments. Thousands of views. My first paid order confirmed. My wife sat next to me watching the notifications come in and said — "Are you okay? You look like you're having an existential crisis." She wasn't wrong. Here's what 350 upvotes actually looks like from the inside: No website. No formal packaging. No warehouse. No team beyond me and my wife. Just four handcrafted soaps, a WhatsApp number, and suddenly 20+ people wanting to buy something I...

It has been about a year since I started suffering from dry eyes, likely due to my work as a software developer. In February 2025, a doctor diagnosed me based on these symptoms: 1. Burning sensation 2. Watery eyes 3. Tired eyes 4. Gritty feeling I was prescribed Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) 0.5%. I used it for a month but eventually learned that preservative-free (PF) drops are better for long-term use. After a long search, I found PF ampoules by a company called Sentiss here in India. However, by March 2025, I began waking up with mucus in my eyes. Since the packaging listed mucus as a potential side effect, I stopped using them. By September 2025, I developed severe pain in the left ...

Hi! I’m planning to include lots of our used electronics along with other goods in the Balikbayan boxes and wondering if anybody had issues with the customs. It’s my first time sending to the Philippines from the US and I’m pretty anxious that they will either flag or charge me more. And do they really usually open them and check? I’m just scared that some of the stuff will get stolen since we’ve had that issue from a relative who’ve sent packages before. I thought of putting the electronics in their original boxes to make them more secure but I also googled it that that might cause problems because they might think that it’s up for resale, etc. Can someone give me an advice of...
