A simple idea whose time has come

Indians today have a healthy appetite for international products but acquiring such products has not been easy; requiring a trip abroad, a request to a visiting NRI aunt, or an expedition to a grey market that offers products of dubious authenticity. Shopping online at international stores comes with its own set of issues - the few stores that do deliver to India charge exorbitantly for international shipping and have no notion of Indian import duties which are calculated and collected from the customer only after the product reaches India. All in all, an expensive, cumbersome process with the potential for a nasty surprise when import duties are finally assessed in India.

Led by Jawad Ayaz, 20North is dedicated to changing the rules of this game.

Bringing US stores to your doorstep

We've forged partnerships with some of the biggest and most trusted US retailers so it doesn't matter how hard it is to get a product - if its available  on any US  website you will likely find it on 20North and on the off chance that you don't, we will "Special Order" it for you from the US website on which you found it.

There really is no limit. Sporting goods, movies, electronics, books, shoes, apparel, furniture and thousands of other products are now just a mouse-click away. Payments can be made with any India issued credit or debit card and the price is inclusive of all applicable import duties, shipping costs and handling charges.

Lie back in your favourite chair and browse our virtual shelves as long as you like, without worrying about closing time, traffic, crowds or fighting for elbow room.  Your shopping will shipped to India, cleared from Indian customs and delivered right to your doorstep with no surprises or hidden costs. (See? You don't even have to carry bags).

At 20North, we've used our technology forte to make your shopping experience the way it should be. Limitless, painless and relaxed. Amazing deal hunters, personalized recommendations, crowd-sourced (read friends and social networks) recommendations and other great features make your shopping experience more interactive and fun than you could have ever imagined.

So what's with the name 20North?

Geographically speaking, India's address on our planet is 20 degrees North, 77 degrees East (you can check with the CIA if you don't believe us https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/in.html). Since we source our products from across the globe and deliver anywhere in India, the name 20North seemed appropriate!
