Top Indian Brands that are cheaper in India and worth Shipping Abroad


At Pick Your Kart, we regularly help NRIs source the exact same Indian brands directly from India and ship them globally, helping them save big without compromising on authenticity.

Here’s a curated list of Indian brands and product categories that are cheaper in India and absolutely worth shipping abroad.


1. Skincare and Beauty Products

India’s skincare industry has grown significantly, with many brands now gaining international popularity. However, NRIs often end up paying a premium abroad due to shipping costs, middlemen, and limited availability.

Popular brands:

  • Forest Essentials

  • Biotique

  • Plum

  • Mamaearth

  • Kama Ayurveda

  • Just Herbs

Example Comparison:
Forest Essentials Ubtan Face Pack:

  • In India: ₹1,195

  • On Amazon USA: $29 (₹2,400 approx)

Why it’s better to ship from India:
Even after international delivery charges, the total cost via Pick Your Kart often comes out lower. Plus, we ensure genuine packaging and secure delivery.


2. Baby Care and Child-Friendly Essentials

Parents abroad often prefer Indian brands for their herbal formulations and familiar ingredients, especially for babies.

Most requested brands:

  • Himalaya Baby

  • Sebamed India packs

  • Johnson & Johnson (Indian variant)

  • Ayurvedic bath powders and oils

Why it’s worth shipping:
Many products in this category are either unavailable abroad or significantly costlier. For example, a 400ml Himalaya Baby Lotion may cost ₹260 in India but upwards of ₹700 overseas.


3. Ayurvedic and Wellness Products

Ayurveda is deeply rooted in Indian tradition, and while it's gaining global recognition, the prices abroad can be steep.

Top products shipped:

  • Dabur Chyawanprash

  • Baidyanath syrups and tonics

  • Zandu Balm, Amrutanjan

  • Patanjali kits

  • Organic India teas and capsules

Why you save more:
India’s wellness products, especially when bought in bulk, are far more affordable at the source. Shipping 5–10 items together drastically reduces overall cost per product.


4. Hair Oils and Herbal Treatments

Hair care is another category where Indian households have long relied on herbal, non-chemical formulations. These brands are rarely found overseas in their authentic form.

Common choices:

  • Parachute Coconut Oil

  • Indulekha Bringha Oil

  • Kesh King

  • Homemade or regional oils like Bhringraj and Neelibhringadi

Many customers even ask Pick Your Kart to buy fresh oils from small ayurvedic stores or local markets — something no international site can offer.


5. Books and Spiritual Literature

Indian literature, especially religious and school books, are much cheaper and easier to access when ordered from India directly.

Items we ship regularly:

  • Bhagavad Gita, Ramayan, Mahabharata

  • Hindi, Tamil, Telugu regional books

  • CBSE/ICSE textbooks for kids abroad

  • Calendars, Panchangs, and pooja books

International editions are often unavailable or overpriced. Buying and shipping from India ensures cultural accuracy and affordability.


The Pricing Truth: Is It Worth It After Shipping?

Yes, especially if:

  • You’re ordering in bulk

  • You consolidate products into one box

  • You use Pick Your Kart’s Shop for Me or Ship for Me services

For example, 10 Indian products that cost ₹4,000 in India might cost ₹8,000–₹10,000 abroad. Even with ₹2,000–₹3,000 in shipping, you still end up saving.

And if you're sourcing items unavailable online, our personal shopper service can help you shop from Indian stores directly via video call.
