This is wow, I men we are used to a lot, but wow.
They also write “100% Purely Bhartiya BrandIndian flag” on their page. I am not indian, so I might be wrong, but this raises some questionmarks.

If anyone has questionmarks raised about what bhartiya means, it means Indian.
So the whole phrase means 100% Indian company. Equivalent to the phrase 100% American company.

Yeah and the “100% purely American” would rise a lot of red flags for me…

If my business is local, buying from local suppliers as much as possible and employing local people it shouldn’t matter at all, if these local employees are ethnically the same and all have the same nationality.
So i would take it more as the former, ultra nationalist.

I do think it’s more likely to be the former.
But I wouldn’t take “100% American company” to mean all employees are American citizens. I would take it to mean that all employees are living in and working from the US. Which makes it more ambiguous than your interpretation of the phrase.
