About us
No one can replace your family but Friends are your Family when you are away from home. And we all are very very far from India.
So, lets join hands to build that family where we help each other, celebrate each others achievements and be there for each other in tough times. Isn't that what a Family is all about?
Let's build the Indian Community that we all deserve. Indian Professionals connecting with Other Indian Professionals, Indian Families Connecting with Other Indian Families, keeping our Indian roots intact and teaching our Indian values to next generations of kids.
Some Rules:
- No Regionalism, Racism or Casteism. We are all Indians Here.
- No Solicitation. Absolutely no trying to sell stuff to people.
