Help us build better health for Indians living abroad

We're building Kin — a culturally fluent nutrition practice for Indians living abroad.

This quick 2–3 minute survey helps us understand your experience with health, food, and lifestyle after moving abroad - so we can build something genuinely useful.

Your answers directly shape our programs, content, and support.

Thank you for taking the time.

1. Which region are you currently living in?

Europe / UK / Ireland

Australia / New Zealand

Southeast Asia / Hong Kong / Singapore

Other (Please specify in Q13)

2. How long have you been living abroad?

3. In the last 12 months, what health issue has frustrated you the most?

Weight gain / difficulty losing weight

Low energy / fatigue

Digestion / bloating / gut issues

Blood sugar / diabetes / prediabetes

Hormones / PCOS / thyroid

Nothing specific — just a general feeling of being less healthy

4. What makes staying healthy abroad most difficult for you? (Select up to 2)

Conflicting advice (Indian vs Western nutrition)

Busy lifestyle / no time to cook / lack of consistency

Feeling unsure whether Indian food is helping or hurting my health

Eating out, travel, and social events making it hard to stay on track

Stress, poor sleep, and sedentary work life making everything worse

5. How much does this affect your day-to-day life right now?

Constantly — it’s on my mind and I need to sort this

Often — I think about it regularly but it feels manageable

Occasionally — it bothers me but it’s not urgent

Not urgent right now — I’m more curious than concerned

6. “The moment I realised I needed to do something about my health abroad was…”

When my blood test results came back with a flag

When I realised I’d gained significant weight without changing anything obvious

When my parent was diagnosed and I thought — that could be me

When I tried to follow health advice and realised none of it was written for my food

I haven’t had that moment yet — I’m still at the awareness stage

7. What have you already tried to improve your health since moving abroad? (Select all that apply)

Followed a diet or meal plan I found online

Consulted a professional — doctor, nutritionist, or trainer

Used a fitness or health app (MyFitnessPal, Strava, Apple Fitness)

Followed advice from family or the Indian community — WhatsApp, home remedies, YouTube

Haven’t tried anything seriously yet

8. Have you ever worked with a nutritionist or dietitian abroad?

Yes — and it was genuinely helpful

Yes — but the advice didn’t account for my Indian diet or lifestyle

Yes — but I stopped because it felt irrelevant to my actual life

No — I couldn’t find anyone who understood my food

No — I haven’t looked for one yet

9. If Kin could help you with just one thing, what would matter most?

Sustainable weight loss without giving up Indian food

More energy and less fatigue in daily life

Improving blood sugar, cholesterol, or other health markers

Better digestion and gut health

Managing a specific condition — diabetes, PCOS, thyroid — with food I actually eat

Just feeling healthy without overthinking every meal

10. What monthly investment feels reasonable for personalised nutrition support?

£50–100 / $60–130

£100–200 / $130–250

I would pay more if the results were clear and measurable

11. How excited would you be to have access to a service like Kin?

Very excited — this is exactly what I've been looking for

Quite excited — this feels relevant and useful

Mildly interested — I'd want to know more first

Not particularly — I'm not sure this is for me

12. Before today, were you aware that Indians abroad face specific, elevated health risks that differ from Western populations?

Yes — I’ve known this for a while and it concerns me

Somewhat — I had a general sense but not the specifics

No — this was new information for me

I’ve heard it but I’m not sure it applies to me personally
