What is OyeChotu.com and what are you selling?
OyeChotu.com is an online service for NRIs to order Indian foods from India for delivery to their doorsteps. While in countries such as France, Netherlands, China & others where Indian foods are hardly available and even if available it’s not authentic. OyeChotu.com delivers wide variety of Indian foods to them in the category of Ready to Eat, Namkeen, Sweets, Special Masalas, Syrups etc. This service thus helps NRIs for living and working in such remote locations abroad. Customers of OyeChotu.com would feel as if they are shopping in India due to wider variety and unique foods such as Dosa Khakra, Rotla, Bhakri, Dabeli Masala & much more.



How did this name come out OyeChotu?
It is derived from the slang used by Indians to call any delivery boy while ordering food. We deliberately choose this name as we want Indians to use smart services like OyeChotu.com to order food and not denote delivery boys with such slangs & rather use names.
