I ran across Desi Return at a time when I needed it the most. The content published by DR has been a great help before our move back to India. The community created via whatsapp has been diligently maintained to ensure it composes people who are genuine motive to return to India or those who returned. They offer valuable advice, participate in debates respectfully and exchanging ideas. I hope to see DR continue to keep the quality and value offering high. Best wishes!

Thanks a lot Kiran for taking time to provide your valuable feedback. All the best with your new chapter too!

Desi return, has been a very informative, valuable and encouraging Channel. The personal stories, are realistic, positive and very valuable source for personal planning and decisions. They keep on top of all changes that affect NRIs or R2I people, whether it was the new taxes on international remittances, or SSN/Investment withdrawals for people living outtside the country or others, they keep us briefed! The content is easy to find and navigate on the page. Avinash, does a great job of asking the right questions, delving into the right details, clear n precise presentation. All in all, a very valuable site for R2I planning and move!!

DesiReturn group (whatapp and youtube channel) have helped me personally during my move. I still see value in following these whatsapp channels post move - wrt kids education and financials during RNOR status. Definitely recommend for anyone planning to make a move back to India
Edit: No Spam. No non-sense. Admin (Avinash) does a great job in removing folks who go off topic or create spam or send ads. Genuine recommendations.

Thanks a lot Ravi! Hope you and family are settling well.

Good experience - finally a whatsapp group where people are actually engaged & you get help. Highly recommended - returning is overwhelming but you not alone - if india has anything, it has lots of nris 😜
I think improvement can be made if fewer people are in a group (eg. Have more fin groups). I rather not have to 'check 400msgs in a wk' but some people are very helpful.

Desi Return replied

Thank you Kush! Hard to keep up with the messages in the groups with active engagement

Have watched your Youtube videos and am very happy to see a very diverse group of people who share their experiences. While most of the videos address the moves back to India by younger folks with school aged kids, it was helpful to see some recent videos of seniors discussing senior living communities in India. Keep up the good work!

Thank you very much!

You are not alone: members who have already moved share what worked for them, and you can ask real questions without performing for a public forum.

We help NRIs and the Indian diaspora who are considering moving back or retiring in India make their transition smooth and successful with expert guidance, community support, and tailored resources.
