Already Tested with 23andMe or AncestryDNA? Get Your Real Indian Ancestry: From $25.
Most global DNA tests lump South Asians into one "Broadly South Asian" bucket. Helixline decodes your data against India's own genetic reference panel: haplogroups, community, caste history, ANI/ASI/AASI ratios. No new test needed.

Indian DNA Ancestry for the Diaspora: Country by Country
Wherever you live, the path is the same: upload your existing 23andMe or AncestryDNA raw data, no new kit needed, and pay in your local currency. Here is what it costs and how it works in each major Indian-diaspora hub.
USA: from $25
The largest Indian diaspora and the biggest base of 23andMe and AncestryDNA testers. If your US-bought test only said "Broadly South Asian," upload that same raw data file to Helixline for $25 and get Tamil, Telugu, Punjabi Jat, Gujarati Patidar and 140+ community-level ancestry: no new kit, results in 7 days.
UK: from £20
British Indians (Punjabi, Gujarati, Bengali and South Indian families), can upload existing 23andMe or AncestryDNA raw data for £20 and pay by card in GBP. Get real regional Indian ancestry plus ANI/ASI/AASI ratios the original test never showed. Prefer a fresh test? Kits ship to the UK in 7-14 days.
Canada: from CA$34
Indo-Canadian testers in Toronto, Vancouver, Brampton and beyond can re-analyse an AncestryDNA or 23andMe file for CA$34, billed in Canadian dollars. Community matching, haplogroups and caste/clan context for the data you already have. Kits ship to Canada in 10-14 days, all duties included.
Australia: from A$38
Indian-Australians in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth can upload an existing 23andMe or AncestryDNA raw data file for A$38 in AUD and skip international shipping entirely. Get state-level Indian ancestry in 7 days. Fresh kits ship to Australia and New Zealand in 10-14 days.
UAE & Gulf: from AED equivalent of $25
The Gulf is home to millions of Indian expatriates. Upload your existing raw data and pay in AED (or USD), or have a fresh kit shipped to the UAE in 5-10 days with customs prepaid. Either way you get Indian community- and state-level ancestry, not a generic "South Asian" label.

Frequently Asked Questions
What raw data services do you support?
We accept raw DNA data from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, FamilyTreeDNA, and LivingDNA. More services on request.
How is this different from what 23andMe already told me?
Global tests use European/African reference panels, so South Asians get the generic "Broadly South Asian" label with no detail. Helixline decodes your raw data against 1,000+ South Asian sub-populations to give you community-level ancestry, haplogroups, caste/clan history, and ANI/ASI/AASI ancestry ratios.
How long does it take?
Upload results are delivered in 7 days. A fresh kit takes 4-6 weeks total (shipping plus lab processing plus report generation).
Can I buy a kit for my parents in India while I live abroad?
Yes. We ship directly to your parents in India and you pay in your local currency (USD/GBP/CAD/AUD). See our full guide for NRIs buying DNA kits for parents in India.
Do you ship to USA, UK, Canada, Australia?
Yes. Helixline kits are shipped worldwide: USA, UK, Canada, Australia, UAE, Singapore, New Zealand, and other countries on request. Shipping, customs duties, and prepaid return shipping are all included in the price.
I'm an Indian in the USA: can I upload my 23andMe or AncestryDNA data for Indian ancestry?
Yes. You do not need a new test. Download your raw data file from 23andMe or AncestryDNA, upload it to Helixline from $25 (paid in USD), and we re-analyse it against an India-specific reference panel for community- and state-level ancestry, haplogroups, and ANI/ASI/AASI ratios: results in 7 days, no shipping.
What does it cost in the UK, Canada, and Australia?
An Indian ancestry upload analysis is £20 in the UK, CA$34 in Canada, and A$38 in Australia (US$25 base), billed in your local currency at checkout. The Ancestry + Health upload is £40 / CA$68 / A$76 ($50). Fresh kits are also shipped to all three countries with duties and prepaid return shipping included.
Is my DNA data safe?
Helixline is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR-compliant. Your raw data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and you can download or delete it anytime from your dashboard.
