Patriotic Indian

The whole idea is to find the alternative for the goods sold to us by the foreign companies and create Demand for the goods made in India 100% - Indian companies in the market thereby saving our Nation's Economy-- without compromising on the Quality of the product purchased... This in-turn will generate substantial employment and build stronger future generations

We never cared, and knew that a small band-aid from an Indian company creates employment for hundreds and the whole profit remains here itself.. Imagine our economy being flooded by mnc's right from a band aid, refreshments etc etc.. which having no technology to manufacture them.. If this continues, we have the risk of what countries like SA, USA had faced very recently
Our duty is to identify the 100% Indian product.. I'm sure that you enjoy using our own products and even take pride in using these swadeshi goods

Please read on and post ur suggestions, add to my list.. My aim is to create awareness and make people think of this when shopping out

Presently the FMCG market is dominated by foreign companies such as Unilever/Hindustan Lever, Procter &Gamble, ITC(Indian Tobacco Board-- subsidiary of ATC-American Tobacco Board).
The market is flooded by these giants selling our goods in the Names of our nation-- Hindustan Unilever, ITC(Indian Tobacco Board) , in guise of Hindustan, Indian tags attached to their commercial operations, leading to false pride in using these goods sold by these MNC's - while our home brands are not finding place. We need to create level playing field and improve our entrepreneurship development within ourselves
