Not sure if we ever needed glasses for 10 mins. If it's not worse for the environment, and can be done with good economics, it's actually the best thing ever. I'm just baffled at how every new thing is first criticized by everyone. Then, if it's truly amazing, it becomes the new normal very soon.

After closure of B2B vertical of Dealshare, will Udaan/Ninjacart/Elasticrun, etc. also close this vertical? Anyone from these companies who can share some details as to what's going on?

Part time seller of posters here. Have burnt lot of money on Amazon ads - made few sales as well but ROAS is very low. Was thinking of using Shopify and using SEO to drive traffic. Tried Flipkart as well but found the policies and the support very poor. Its very sad to see Amazon and Flipkart monopolising almost all Ecommerce traffic in India.
