India accessible

When Ganesh Palaniappan had his son in the U.S., he wanted to send his computer-unsavvy mom back in India photographs of her grandson. He scoured the Internet before finding a website (picsquare.com) that was willing to print and ship 20 photographs to India for less than three dollars.

That set him and friend Sudharshan Krishnamachary thinking — why not put together all such services that would be of immense help to NRIs such as them? And so was born www.nrispot.com

The website throws light on new Indian websites and online services that would help bridge the gap between their land of residence and birth that much more. The site has five broad links — read, listen/play, research, send and buy/sell. Each of them has many more options. In the research category, you can connect to sites that deal with matrimony, parenting, maps of India, recipes, city-specific India search, education in India, and websites that would interest returning NRIs.

On the site, people can also compare rates before sending home money , booking tickets, paying bills, buying insurance, etc.
