I love being able to greet clients inside the terminal where it is peaceful and air-conditioned. In India, you have to pay to enter the arrival terminal area. After a long flight, there's nothing better than having someone waiting for you after customs.

Buying in India is great fun, but not without some challenges. I exported homewares and furniture for around a decade and have been recently working with fabric suppliers and boutique clothing manufacturers.

Having learned many lessons through hard experience, I can suggest reputable options for suppliers and provide guidance through the process.
