Global Shoppers: Smarter Shopping, Smarter Travel
Global Shoppers is a peer-to-peer platform that connects international shoppers with air travelers, making global shopping more affordable, efficient, and community-driven. By bridging the gap between high shipping fees and unused luggage space, we create a win-win solution for both shoppers and travelers.
For shoppers, Global Shoppers provides seamless access to international products without the burden of excessive shipping costs. For travelers, it’s an opportunity to earn extra income by utilizing the luggage space they already have on trips they’re already taking.
Shop Globally, Pay Locally, Earn While You Travel!
Our Story
Every time I traveled between the U.S. and India, friends and family would send me a list of things to bring—items they loved but couldn’t easily find or afford in their own country. From specialty snacks to exclusive gadgets, some products are unique to a country, making them a must-have for those living abroad.
While this informal shopping system worked, it had its limitations. People had to wait for someone they knew to travel and bring their desired products, often leading to long delays or missed opportunities. I realized there had to be a better way.
That’s when the idea for Global Shoppers was born. We created a platform that connects buyers with verified travelers, making it possible for anyone to access global markets without relying on friends or family. Now, your favorite products from around the world can be delivered to your doorstep—quickly, affordably, and hassle-free.
Global shopping, reimagined.
Our Team
GlobalShoppers was co-founded by two MBA students from the University of Notre Dame, USA, driven by a shared vision to make cross-border shopping more accessible, affordable, and human.
Our founding team brings together a diverse mix of expertise in strategy, product development, policy, program management, and emerging technologies. With professional experience across top-tier companies and industries, we’ve worked at the intersection of innovation, global markets, and scalable technology — and we’re now applying that knowledge to reshape how the world shops across borders.
Our Vision
GlobalShoppers was born from a very real and personal challenge: as international students and expats, we often faced the frustration of long wait times, limited access, and high shipping costs when trying to get essentials from home. We realized how many others — students, expats, global citizens — faced the same obstacles every day.
So, we built a platform that connects international shoppers with trusted travelers — a community-based solution that blends local insights with global accessibility.
But GlobalShoppers is more than a platform. It’s a movement to create a more connected, inclusive, and convenient global marketplace. One where products from anywhere can reach anyone, without the usual barriers.
