I live in India and I’m thinking about starting a small cross-border ecommerce business.
The idea is simple: buy products that are easily available and cheap in India, then sell them to US/EU customers through Instagram shops, Etsy, or direct shipping.
So basically retail arbitrage / export arbitrage.
If you were starting this type of business today:
• What types of products would you focus on? • What characteristics make a product good for this model? (weight, uniqueness, handmade, etc.) • Would you target marketplaces like Etsy/Amazon or sell directly through Instagram/Reddit?
Curious what products or niches experienced sellers would choose today.
