Sharing it here for those navigating similar decisions.

Desi Return

Over the last couple of years, one question keeps coming up again and again:
โ€œIโ€™m thinking about moving back to Indiaโ€ฆ but where do I even start?โ€
Weโ€™ve tried to answer that by building Desi Return Planner โ€” a free, personalized, step-by-step plan to help organize a return to India.
It lays out actions over time, links relevant Desi Return videos where useful, and suggests optional help only when it makes sense.
Itโ€™s not advice on whether to move.Itโ€™s just a way to think clearly and plan at your own pace.

You can register here access.desireturn.com/planner-yt. Would really value your feedback.

Someone I know is exploring a legal support solution for NRIs and is trying to understand the real challenges people face while living abroad.
Would really appreciate it if you could take a minute to fill out this short survey (since it could be relevant to many of you and so positing here) โ€” your input will help shape the direction of their platform. ๐Ÿ™

Desi Return

This isnโ€™t a typical Desi Return post, but itโ€™s something personal I wanted to share with the DR family. I wasnโ€™t sure about posting it, so please feel free to ignore if it doesnโ€™t interest you.

๐ŸŒŸ 12-Hour Solo Run Challenge for a Cause! ๐ŸŒŸ
Iโ€™m taking on a 12-hour solo run at Hyderabad Stadium Run this Saturday (Nov 29) to support the Help The Blind Foundation, an amazing organization that provides scholarships, laptops, and essential support to visually impaired students across India.

One of our own Desi Return community members (Mr. Sankar) is actively involved with this foundation โ€” so this is a great opportunity to contribute and make a real impact.

๐Ÿ’› Donate here:
www.helptheblindfoundation.org/donate/

๐Ÿ“ฉ After you donate, *please send me a quick note/message* โ€” the foundationโ€™s site doesnโ€™t categorize donations by event, so your message will help us track the total raised through this 12-hour challenge. Your support truly means a lot.

Letโ€™s do something meaningful together. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’›
