Kitna Indian

How Indian is this product?

A Chrome extension for Amazon.in and Flipkart. It gives a product a score out of 100 and shows how it got there, split into manufacturing, assembly and design.

A phone assembled in Tamil Nadu from imported displays and chips is not the same as a pressure cooker forged in Hosur. A yes/no "Made in India" label treats them the same. Kitna Indian doesn't.

Search results too

Every card in a search grid gets a small score, so you can spot the Indian options without opening ten tabs.

An Amazon.in search results grid for pressure cookers with Kitna Indian score pills on each card
A solid pill is measured. A dashed pill marked "est." is estimated from the brand, because search cards don't show country of origin.

Where the numbers come from

Signals are ranked by how far they can be trusted:

  1. A curated list of 128 brands common in Indian shops. Each has figures for every pillar, a written reason, a source link and a confidence level.
  2. The Country of Origin declared on the listing.
  3. The manufacturer, packer or importer address. An Indian importer counts against a product, because it means the goods came from abroad.
  4. The GS1 barcode prefix. A weak signal, only ever used for the design pillar, and the badge says so.

Pillar figures are researched estimates, not certified numbers. If a score looks wrong, use the Report incorrect info button on the badge, or see Support.
