It is Indian, a suitable title would’ve been Namaste! maybe. But ok, enough with the puns: thank you for your work little guy!

Namaste is for hellos, not goodbyes.

Hmm, I read up something that differs. Namaste doesn’t literally translate to Hello, means something different. Source.

Yes, that's what it means. But we always Namaste in place of hello/hey/hi. We use other phrases for goodbye like, see you soon, have a nice day, etc, not Namaste. We can use Namste after saying goodbye as a closing greeting. But it can't be used in place of goodbye.

Colloquial and literal meanings don't always work the same

Indian /=/ namaste
It won't be representative of all indians but only to 35% of the population.
Besides, namaste is for hellos
