Sending gifts to parents in Pune from the USA is a need shared by many NRIs — Pune has a large returning retiree population and is home to parents of professionals who moved to the US from Maharashtra. Pune's own diaspora-producing institutions (IITs, AFMC, Symbiosis, Fergusson) have sent graduates across the US, leaving behind parents in Kothrud, Aundh, Baner, Deccan, and Hadapsar who are connected to children living in New York, Houston, or the Bay Area. The practical problem is familiar: time zones, international shipping unreliability, and the difficulty of finding Pune-appropriate gifts from abroad. Giftler handles this entirely within India: you set up your parents' Pune address and occasions once, and Giftler curates appropriate gifts, delivers across Pune and PCMC before each date, and sends a personalized note in your name. You pay from the USA with any international card. Pune delivery covers all major areas including Kothrud, Aundh, Baner, Hadapsar, Viman Nagar, Koregaon Park, Magarpatta, and surrounding PCMC areas including Pimpri and Chinchwad.
The Pune-USA NRI context
Pune produces a consistent stream of NRIs — engineering graduates, medical professionals, and business families who moved to the USA in the 1990s and 2000s. Their parents are now in their 60s and 70s, often in Kothrud, Aundh, Deccan, or suburban Pune.
Pune's culture is distinctly Maharashtrian — Ganesh Chaturthi, Gudi Padwa (Maharashtrian New Year), and family-oriented occasion-marking. NRIs from Pune who want to maintain these cultural connections from the USA often struggle with the logistics despite the best intentions.
How Giftler works for Pune
Set up your parents once in Giftler:
• Their Pune delivery address — society, flat, area, PIN
• Occasions — Gudi Padwa, Ganesh Chaturthi, birthdays, anniversaries, Diwali
• Their preferences — traditional Maharashtrian tastes vs. modern preferences, budget
Giftler curates an appropriate gift for each occasion, delivers within Pune or PCMC before the date, and sends a personalized note in your name. From New York or San Jose, you pay with any international credit card. Nothing else required on your end.

Maharashtrian occasions worth adding
Gudi Padwa (Maharashtrian New Year, typically March-April) is the most significant cultural new year for Pune families — a gift arriving for Gudi Padwa from a child abroad carries real emotional weight. Ganesh Chaturthi is Pune's signature festival — the city celebrates more intensely than perhaps anywhere else in India.
Add both to your parents' Giftler profile and curation will reflect these occasions with appropriate sweets, puja items, or traditional gifts.
