What it does

If you have family, friends, or business colleagues in India, Photohugs is the ideal way to send photos directly to their door. Users upload pictures to their photohug.com account, select the images they want to send, and submit money using one of their payment methods. The prints (users can select from a variety of sizes) will be delivered to the recipient’s exact location. Photohugs has unlimited photo storage space, so users can also save photos and share them online with family and friends. Photohugs will eventually extend its services to print pictures onto mugs, tee-shirts, and photo CDs.

In their own words

“Photohugs is all about treasuring your memories. Our service at Photohugs allows users to upload, share and print pictures in varied sizes and options retaining their quality and sending pictures to India.”

Why it might be a killer

Given the huge Indian expat population in countries abroad (specifically the US, Canada, and Britain) this seems like a lucrative audience to cater to. The service could really take off given its guarantee to reach anyone in India.

Some questions

With the internet gaining more and more popularity in India, will people really feel the need to have printed copies? While it might be a nice gesture, when individuals send photos from abroad the standard format seems to be electronically.
