I am extremely proud of the work the SaleBhai team has done to bring the company to this point and bring smiles to thousands of faces that were missing the taste of home. Now, we will take the heart-warming feeling of nostalgia and the taste of home that our products offer as a business model into the market, and expect a positive reaction. We are grateful to our customers, our existing investors, and our wonderful team on this occasion,” stated Vishwavijay Singh, Co-founder, SaleBhai.com.

The company basically focuses on the requirements of diaspora communities living in big Indian cities as well as those who live out of the country. The range of products on their website include consumable items such as chocolate, namkeen, sweets, bakery, spices, beverages, dry fruits, and pickles.
