Sahara India launches Sahara Care House for families of NRIs

Saturday, March 17, 2007, 11:43 [IST]

Mumbai, Feb 22 (UNI) With a view to tap into the lucrative NRI remittance market, Sahara India today launched Sahara Care House, a single window service platform for Global Indians.

''Research shows that India receives the highest remittance globally, worth nearly USD 23 billion, out of which 71 per cent is for family maintenance like education, support for parents, medical care and debt servicing. Sahara Care House will support these emotional and familial dimension by offering services that provide a physical support well beyond anything that can be achieved by monetary remittances,'' the CEO of Sahara Care House Romi Datta explained.

The event was graced by Indian cricketer, Virendra Sehwag.

This service will be available across 197 Indian cities through 249 centres catered by a highly trained workforce of 3,500 relationship ambassadors, Mr Datta added.
