Problem Statement:
Consumers often want to support local Indian businesses but are not always sure whether the brand they are buying from is Indian or foreign-owned. This extension was created to solve that exact problem.

Why This Extension Matters:
Supporting Indian brands is more than just a shopping preference; it is about contributing to the growth of the local economy, encouraging self-reliance, and promoting innovation at home. Many consumers unknowingly purchase from foreign brands simply because they do not have clear visibility into brand ownership during the shopping process. Slash Mark – Made in India (Brand-Aware) eliminates this uncertainty. By providing an instant label that says "Made in India" or "Not Made in India," it empowers users to make choices that align with their values.
