From Hyderabad to Dubai: The Coupon Platform Helping Indians Save Across Borders
Founded in 2020, GC Coupons has grown from a niche website into one of the most trusted and widely used coupon platforms across the GCC region (Gulf Cooperation Council). But what makes this story particularly special for Indian readers is that it's not just changing the way people shop in Dubai or Riyadh — it's helping millions of Indian shoppers, from Hyderabad to Kochi to Mumbai, save big on their favorite brands abroad.
The Rise of Cross-Border Shopping
Online shopping behavior has shifted dramatically in India in the last five years. With better payment gateways, currency converters, and international shipping options, Indians are no longer restricted to domestic marketplaces like Flipkart or Amazon India. From fashion on Noon to educational tools like Novakid, or lifestyle memberships through The Entertainer, international brands are just a click away.
But as the accessibility grew, so did the need for smart savings. While these platforms often offer discounts to locals in their region, most Indian users were unaware of how to access them — until GC Coupons entered the picture.
What Is GC Coupons — And Why Is Everyone Talking About It?
GC Coupons began with a simple mission: to make premium global shopping more affordable for customers across the Middle East and beyond. Over the last five years, the platform has become the leading coupon destination for users in the GCC region, now expanding its reach to international users, including Indians who regularly shop on global sites.
With over 5 million shoppers served, GC Coupons offers verified and frequently updated discount codes across top retailers in fashion, electronics, travel, education, and lifestyle.
In the words of its founder, Yash Bhojwani,
'We work directly with brands to bring exclusive offers for our users. In a short span, we have helped over 5 million shoppers save money on their favourite brands.'
That collaborative approach has helped the platform build trust with both users and global merchants — a rare win-win in the world of affiliate marketing and e-commerce.
Why Indian Shoppers Are Turning to GC Coupons
Here are a few compelling reasons why Indian users — including expats, frequent travelers, and global shoppers — are now making GC Coupons part of their regular shopping routine:
1. Access to Regional Brands at Better Prices
Platforms like Noon offer incredible product selections in electronics, home décor, and fashion — but their best deals are often geo-locked or hidden behind seasonal campaigns. GC Coupons regularly lists verified Noon promo codes that allow Indian users to unlock region-specific discounts without having to reside in the Middle East.
2. Educational Platforms for the Global Indian Family
The rise of digital learning during the pandemic made platforms like Novakid hugely popular. Parents looking for internationally styled English programs for their kids found Novakid to be a valuable resource. But courses on global edtech platforms can be pricey. GC Coupons solves this by offering special Novakid discount codes that lower the barrier to entry for Indian families seeking quality education.
3. Premium Lifestyle Access via The Entertainer
Indians traveling to the Middle East, especially Dubai, often explore lifestyle and entertainment memberships like The Entertainer — known for its buy-one-get-one deals on fine dining, fitness, spas, and attractions. But many are unaware that GC Coupons offers exclusive discounts on The Entertainer memberships.
Using this The Entertainer Promo Code, Indian users can now plan better holidays or even gift valuable experiences to friends or family living abroad.
4. Seamless Shopping from India
Many Indian users assume they need to be in the UAE or Saudi Arabia to use GCC-based platforms. Not true. GC Coupons supports mobile-first usability, geo-independent access, and regularly updates coupon codes that work globally. Whether you're ordering a gift for a friend in Dubai or subscribing to a global service from Hyderabad, GC Coupons brings those deals to your screen, no matter where you are.
Built for the Cross-Border Generation
The platform's success is not just about offering coupons — it's about building a frictionless, trustworthy experience for shoppers across borders.
GC Coupons stands out because:
✅ It verifies and updates deals daily, avoiding expired or misleading codes.
✅ It offers exclusive brand partnerships that no other Indian coupon site can access.
✅ It provides a mobile app, which has already crossed 50,000 downloads on Android and iOS, featuring a clean UI/UX and easy browsing of categories like fashion, electronics, travel, and education.
✅ It supports both English and Arabic languages, expanding accessibility across the region.

BJP, Congress trade barbs as Rahul says economy is dead
Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi's claim on Thursday that mirrored US president Donald Trump's statement that the Indian economy is 'dead ' triggered a war of words with the ruling BJP, which said that the world recognizes India's achievements even as Gandhi tried to run it down. BJP, Congress trade barbs as Rahul says economy is dead 'Yes, he (Trump) is right, Everybody knows this except the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister. Everybody knows that the Indian economy is a dead economy. I am glad that President Trump has stated a fact... The entire world knows that the Indian economy is a dead economy...,' Gandhi told journalists outside Parliament. Later on, in a post on X , he listed his criteria for his view on the state of the Indian economy. Trump's overnight comments were made in the context of India and Russia's bilateral trade. After imposing a 25% tariff on Indian exports to the US and an additional penalty for buying Russian oil, Trump said on Truth Social: 'I don't care what India does with Russia. They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care…' . He also alleged that tariffs in India are 'too high' and 'among the highest in the world'. Union Culture and Tourism Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat slammed Gandhi for his comments. 'Contrary to your political career, Rahul Gandhi, India's economy is not dead — it is fully alive and moving forward with strong momentum,' he said. In his statement, Shekhawat said that during the tenure of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government India was counted among the 'Fragile Five' countries, and today India is now counted among the 'Robust Five'. 'India's economy is not only setting new standards of stability and growth, but it is also firmly moving towards becoming the world's third-largest economy,' he added. Sambit Patra, a Lok Sabha lawmaker of the BJP, said on X, 'Rahul Gandhi has crossed all limits—publicly endorsing Donald Trump's slur that India is a 'dead economy'. Whose side is he really on?' 'While the world recognises India's aspiration, achievement, and wellbeing, Rahul Gandhi seems intent on running it down. IMF just upgraded India's growth forecast: 6.9% for 2025, the fastest among major economies.. World Bank calls India the 'standout growth story' of the decade. Inflation is at a 6-year low. PMI is at a 17.5-year high. Rahul Gandhi is attempting to chip away at India's collective spirit of its ambition & achievements but he's simply out of sync with a nation chasing its dreams with determination. Shameful!!' Patra said. While no other senior Congress leader commented on Trump's statement, party leader Jairam Ramesh said that the Indian economy has never really recovered from the twin shocks of a 'bizarre demonetisation' and a fundamentally flawed 'GST' (goods andservices tax) . 'The growth rate of the Indian economy will simply not accelerate with current levels of private corporate investment and current levels of private consumption. The Modi government's own policies are responsible for this twin deficit,' he said Congress MP Rajiv Shukla, however, took a different position and told the media, 'It is incorrect for Trump to say that the Indian economy is dead.' Shukla added that economic reforms were ushered in by the Narsimha Rao government and the UPA government and the current government has taken more steps. 'In no way, our economy is weak,' he said Parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju cited Shukla's comment and said on X, 'Now, a senior Congress leader Rajiv Shukla ji is also speaking in our country's favour! Indian economy will never be dead.' Calling the Leader of the Opposition , or LoP, an 'LoB' -- 'Leader Opposing Bharat'-- former Union minister and BJP MP Anurag Thakur said, 'Rahul Gandhi's job is only to oppose India. Anyone from around the world makes an anti-India statement, Rahul catches hold of it and starts speaking without thinking... The most popular leader in the world is PM Modi. Perhaps this is what Rahul Gandhi cannot digest, because he has only seen the 'lost decade of opportunities'. In Rahul Gandhi's language, the 'dead decade of opportunities'...'

Trump increases tariff on Canada to 35% from 25%
U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order increasing tariffs on Canadian goods to 35% from 25% on all products not covered by the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, the White House said. US President Donald Trump announced a 25 per cent, plus a penalty, on Indian goods on Wednesday. (AP) Goods transshipped to another country to evade the new tariffs will be subject to a transshipment levy of 40%, according to a White House fact sheet. The increased tariff, which the White House said was the result of Canada's "continued inaction and retaliation," comes after Trump told reporters that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney reached out ahead of an August 1 tariff deadline, but no conversations between the two took place. Trump has warned that any country that does not strike a deal with the U.S. before Friday will be subjected to higher tariffs imposed on goods. "We haven't spoken to Canada today. He's (Carney) called and we'll, we'll see," Trump told reporters during an event at the White House before the 35% rate was announced. Carney's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Canadian leader previously said trade talks with Washington had been constructive, but the talks may not conclude by the deadline. Talks between the two countries were at an intense phase, he added, but a deal that would remove all U.S. tariffs was unlikely. Earlier on Thursday, Trump said it would be "very hard" for the U.S. and Canada to strike a deal after Ottawa moved toward recognizing Palestinian statehood. He said later on Thursday, however, that he did not view the move as "a deal breaker" in trade talks. "Well, they have to pay a fair rate - that's all. It's very simple. They have been charging very, very high tariffs to our farmers, some over 200% and they've been treating our farmers very badly," Trump said when asked about negotiations. He added that while he loves Canada, it has treated the United States "very badly" for years. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Trump could reconsider the tariff if Carney 'starts turning on the charm and if he takes off his retaliation.'
