How did your journey start as a founder? What was that thing that triggered that you start your own thing?
I was working with Consulting firms catering to US investment Banks. But I was inundated with ideas and wanted to implement them. I was having a risk appetite and wanted to follow my passion. Success is achieved when you do what you love.
Did you work anywhere in the company or institution before starting your own thing? How was the experience of working there?
I had Rich 5 years of experience post my MBA. During my corporate stint, I learned how Big Firms and Medium-size firms work. I worked in Delhi and Mumbai during the years; In a KPO in Delhi which is considered Back-end. And in Debt Syndication in Mumbai, which is considered Front-end. So the learning was immense.

No. Being from Investment Banking Sector I am having a view diluting equity to raise capital is the costliest way to scale-up. It should not be done until and unless it is very necessary.
When should one go for funding and capital investors?
When you are at the seed stage or conception of an idea stage or experiencing paucity of funds to scale-up and facing competition in the market.
Did you start it on your own or there are other co-founders working with you?
Started on my own. No other co-founders.
What is the best marketing and customer acquisition strategy according to you?
Value for money products, good quality products, better service, good customer support. The reviews on your listings on the particular E-commerce Marketplaces are taken very seriously. Even marketplaces don’t delete comments as a policy. So mind you a bad review will hamper you.
What Products you have in your E-commerce Business?
E-commerce Business works when either you source local or from Bulk from neighboring countries. So when I started I had to select the product considering this model so I chose the Local Home Furnishing products as Jaipur is Home Furnishing Hub.

In India, every Business is very lucrative in the starting by default. The same thing happened with this sector also, in the recent past it has been consolidating. Government policy has a huge impact on this sector.
We are waiting for the E-commerce policy of India, hope it will benefit all types of retailers.
