• We create a platform where customer can list the product he wants to purchase and near by vendors can provide live quotes to it.

• Once the customer has the best quotes, he can go and pick the product from the vendor or get it delivered.

The Market Problem• While buying products like mobile, computer,

TV, etc consumers tend to search the near by (local) stores for the best price.

• The search is mostly done by visiting the store or making phone calls.

• This leads to lots of hassle like bargaining, traveling , time waste, etc and the best price so obtained may not be the best as a person can access only limited number of stores.

Our insight

• If the consumer can put his/her requirement on mobile or web app with the locality of purchase and get instant replies from local vendors the reach of search can increased and hassles for the customer can be reduced

CompetitionDirect competitor•Pricebhai.in, pricebaba.com- Operates only in a few cities, the quotes are not live and updated on a weekly basis. Provides price only for a few products. The model is not scalable.

Indirect competitor- •Just dial- Just Dial provides the lead to local vendor who contacts the customer or the customer can contact the vendors- The service is limited to certain products and is not very smooth

Other players-•compareindia.com, compareraja.com, pricedekh.com, naaptol.com, shopmania.com, wheretobuy.com, bearshop.in and more – These are in the online price comparison market

The fact that companies like JustDial is trying to enter the market it self proves its need (justdial has not had

much success until now in this domain)
