saharacarehouse_logoIf you are living outside of India, you would have definitely used one of the remittance services available, to send money back home. However, have you ever wondered if there is any service to get some government related documents, to manage your property in India, to find buyers for real estate or accompany loved ones to the hospital? I myself have searched for such services long time back. And now SaharaCareHouse.com does exactly the same. It provides more than 5000 products and 60 services for Indians residing overseas for just about anything that needs to be done for themselves, their families and friends in India.

Indians abroad send more remittances than any other expatriate group - $26.9 billion in 2006 alone. The next wave of remittance market will go beyond just sending money for living needs, says Sahara’s focus group. They have also revealed that, Indian Immigrants have insecurities about their families’ safety. Often they don’t know whom to trust, so Sahara Care House has trained 3,500 professionals, whom they call, relationship ambassadors, who will, for example, deliver flowers, look after your property, etc.

Sahara has health-care deals with more than 2,000 hospitals in 197 cities. And there is an exhaustive online catalog of products to take care of gifting. There are also services like Legal Advisory Facilitation, Legislation & Attestation of Documents, Relocation Services, Security Services, Document and Certificate Facilitation, etc. You can avail their services by either becoming a member or transacting as a guest.
