Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I'm talking about new startups, as a founder who's trying to build an ecommerce platform currently.

I'm still very early, but it feels that the writing is on the wall. 
Flipkart, Myntra, Nykaa, Zomato, Swiggy etc. have all built great products and soon great businesses (I'm sure) 

But it does not make sense to me why we've barely seen anything new in the last 5 years. Even funding wise, if that is something one wants to look at. 

So many people have tried - none of the new ideas have worked. CAC is too high. Current platforms already solve problems. Retention is never there, people may try you out, but will move back to Amazon/Instamart. 

But this is not how things typically work. It's very clear that consumer spending is going to increase, online more so, at an even faster rate. I don't feel the current platforms solve everything, a better version can be built. 

SO, is it the founders of the current era that have failed to make a dent? Is it the fact that VCs have stopped paying attention to this space? Or is it that the current platforms indeed solve everything? 

Would love everybody's thoughts. And also if you have tried building/or have ideas on what potential next eCommerce platforms could loook like. 

Over and out.

A lot of shops around Marathahalli don't seem trustworthy and I have also heard bad experiences of people such as advance paid and furniture delivered too late or poor quality or not to specifications. What are your recommendations?

Where do you buy furniture from?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hey, shoppers, help me out here. Which website has better quality products - Amazon or Flipkart? I have noticed that amazon has more expensive products, but are they better in quality? Also, many people complain about the customer service of Flipkart. So, I am very confused. I want to buy some furniture and home decor items, btw.

Amazon or Flipkart: which is best?

Which ones do you use? What are some good ergonomic chairs?

Please don't say steelcase or other ultra expensive chairs. Abhi itna saamarthya nahi hai 💀

Let's say the budget is around 20k.

Shopify vs Woocommerce vs scratch?

Over the past few months the price difference betweem e-commerce websites and stores during sale period have decreased with Reliance Digital and Croma being at par or better than Fk or Amz in terms of pricing (except a few poster items)

Fashion based e-commerce in India is even worse with size issues, courier frauds and high returns. Companies are now charging a non refundable delivery/convinience fee to become profitable.

Reliance has drastically reduced investments in e-commerce and is focussing on expanding offline presence.

If there were a dedicated online platform that focuses *only* on electronics—delivering everything from Xbox, PS5, Apple, and Samsung products with top-notch customer service and guaranteed timely delivery—would you consider switching from Amazon or Flipkart? Like Best Buy but online 🤔

With Flipkart’s service reportedly going downhill, would you prefer a platform that specializes solely in electronics, offering the best experience from browsing to doorstep delivery?

Drop your thoughts below! Would this platform be a game-changer for your tech purchases?

Heyall,
Is there any one handling ads account of ecom sellers. Felt lonely across social medias without a community to share insights and learn.

Hi everyone, anyone here who has any idea of e- book reading devices like Kindle or Kobo or any other? 

I am looking for an e-book reader at a reasonable cost with good reviews as well. Also, it should have the capability to transfer the PDFs from laptops or mobile phones, just not supporting one ecosystem with good storage. 

Any suggestions guys for this would be really appreciated.

Regarding e-book reading devices

A friend wants to create an online store for his leather accessories manufacturing business. While Shopify is the obvious choice, I was wondering if there are any other Indian SaaS platforms that are worth considering. Who are popular in domestic market these days?  No sinking ships like Dukaan please.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Hi Peeps, Wanted to know how the Product department of Indian Ecommerce companies like Amazon, Ajio, Meesho, Pepperfry and Luxury Closet.

I'm coming from B2B space and would like to understand if I should accept the offer from the 1 of the companies above. 

Any and All discussion is extremely appreciated. I'm interested in understanding their culture, wlb and growth as PM.

Current State of Product Management on E-commerce

Looking for websites to rent furniture for as I will be moving to an unfurnished apartment soon. For most of the things I am thinking of directly buying second handed as it seems cheaper that way, but for mattresses and some kitchen furniture, I'm thinking of renting them as the prices for new are very high. 

So far I have shortlisted Furlenco, Cityfurnish & Rentmojo. Does anyone have any experience with these sites, especially for mattresses as that is my main concern? Also would it make sense to go for a water purifier subscription from livpure or get a new water purifier?

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

read this post where a recruiter wrote - "This message is to all my candidates who are not comfortable.
It is not about whether you are comfortable or i am comfortable.
It is not about comfort, it is about the process. Without knowing your current CTC(what is the value you have and what you would bring on XYZ's expected CTC), as a Recruiter, I have to share these details with my clients and it is very crucial to say yes or no before moving for the next process.
Easy example without knowing the current price of the T-shirt which is listed on any e-commerce platform, would you buy it?" 

And my counter to this one is simple - the process is a joke - gate kept well to know orgs win - PERIOD. 
Let me ask this - Would you pay a candidate top bracket even if he/she asked for less and you had the range? No? Thought so. This isn’t about transparency - it’s about control. Let’s stop pretending otherwise.
