I always wanted to be an old school merchant! The idea of traveling the world
and buying and selling goods has always been fun. Whether I would be good at it
is another question. However, I realize that a lot of trading is just a phone
call, text messages, and emails anyways. Technology is not the main limitation
as technology is essentially free.
Today, I’m excited to announce the first release of Yerra Trading
— a WhatsApp-first trading business to buy and sell goods between the United
States and India. This launch is symbolic, marking the beginning of an identity
and mission.
I believe the U.S. and India need each other now more than ever. By bringing
expertise from one side to benefit the other, we can unlock new opportunities
for both markets. I think even with the current geopolitical tensions, the
U.S. and India can work together to create a better future for both countries.
My long-term goal is to serve the Indian community in the U.S., creating value
through deep cultural and commercial connection. I am just getting started and
am in the process of launching the first set of trade opportunities:
pharmaceuticals.
