Is WHOOP Available In India? Here Is How to Order
Many fitness enthusiasts in India are eager to get their hands on the WHOOP Strap—a popular wearable known for its in-depth health and performance monitoring. But is WHOOP available in India? This article is all about this topic.
Is WHOOP Available In India?
Although WHOOP does not have a dedicated presence in India as of the point of writing this article, you can order WHOOP directly from the official website if you are based in India. However, no Indian version has been released thus far.
Ordering from the official website to India involves international shipping, but the good news is that India is now listed as one of the countries WHOOP ships its products.
In addition, you can purchase it via third-party retailers like Ubuy, but buying from such resources can increase the price, which we will discuss in a minute.
How Much Does It Cost to Order WHOOP to India?
WHOOP costs $239, irrespective of the country you live in, and it’s the same for Indian people as well. In addition, there will be an international shipping fee.
If you can find a person who can offer you a discount via the “Refer a Friend” program, you can enjoy a deduction of $19.92 plus an additional one-month free membership when ordering WHOOP to India through the official WHOOP website.

How Much is the WHOOP International Shipping Cost to India?
As we mentioned earlier, WHOOP ships to India, but it comes with an international shipping cost. The WHOOP international shipping cost to India is $27.99, and the total cost of ordering WHOOP to India is around $247.
How Much Does it Cost to Buy WHOOP from Ubuy?
As we mentioned, ordering WHOOP from retailers such as Ubuy costs significantly more compared to ordering it from the official WHOOP website.
Ubuy website shows INR 46,980 for WHOOP, equivalent to USD 560, which is more than two times higher than the official price mentioned on the WHOOP website.
So, considering the fact that WHOOP now ships to India and shipping usually takes no more than 7 days, we think it’s a better option to order WHOOP directly from the official WHOOP website.
Is WHOOP Covered by Warranty If Purchased to India via Official Website?
If you purchase WHOOP from the official website and have it shipped to India, the device is generally covered by WHOOP’s standard warranty. The standard WHOOP warranty is for one year and it applies only for manufacturer defects and specific hardware issues. However, you will have to ship it back to the manufacturer for warranty claims.
Since WHOOP doesn’t have a local presence in India, you will have to contact WHOOP support online, which might not be as convenient as having local support.

What Should I Consider Before Buying WHOOP to India?
So, if you want to buy WHOOP to India, we highly recommend you consider the below-mentioned factors to minimize the potential hassle and to avoid post-purchase disappointments.
- WHOOP is not officially available in India. So, if you are to buy WHOOP, you will have to buy it from the official website or third-party retailers such as Ubuy.
- The WHOOP price of retailers can be significantly higher than the official website’s price.
- If possible, find a person who offers a discount via the WHOOP “Refer a friend” program to enjoy a price deduction.
- There will be an international shipping cost when ordering from the official website.
- WHOOPs are covered by the standard warranty, but claims can be difficult as you will have to arrange the device back to the manufacturer bearing the shipping cost.
- Ensure that the WHOOP app, which is essential for using the device, is fully functional in India. Contact customer service before pulling your credit card to check whether the existing features and the ones that will be released in the future are available in India.

Purchasing it from third-party retailers costs more than purchasing it from the official website. As we explained, when ordering, there are some crucial factors you need to consider to enjoy the full range of benefits of WHOOP.
