Since the target is Indian expats, that probably doesn't matter much, but be aware the name INRI has strong religious connotations in the West [1].

First thought that entered my head as well.

And it really is "the West" (not just US), since the original phrase is Latin.


Hahaha! That would have never occurred to me (or at least not immediately) - NRI


It does in India too. With Easter around the corner, I thought of Inri Appam [1][2].

Interesting, thanks!

Also, it's funny (and probably not accidental) that it's also called Pesaha, which is basically the name for the Hebrew/Jewish celebration from which Christian Easter is derived.


This connotation is present in India too. For example, the local church here has it as well [1].

I'm a Hindu, so my mind definitely did not go there.
