Changing the face of Indian ecommerce in true internet spirit

Indian eCommerce till now has been defined in terms of awesome shipping experience and great deals. Companies operated in a highly centralized way to achieve that. In the process they just competed with the brick and mortar retails, burning money at an incredible rate. They had to, and they are continuing to. May be they will keep burning because brick and mortar stores are not going to go away.

But its not about companies, their business models and how they sustain themselves or making money. Its sometimes about doing the right thing. Its about bringing a vision to reality. Thats what internet did. It decentralized the generation and distribution of information, so that no one individual is powerful enough to manipulate it.

And thats what tradus is about. Decentralization of the economic activity. Its about a platform where every seller and buyer is important. Its about building the trust in the community, building trust in internet. And who are we competing against? No one. Because our vision is that what we are doing, what we are building is opening up the entire country to the power of internet, to the power of decentralization. We want to take the economic activity multi folds ahead, not only for a single indian/entity but for the whole lot of them. Brick and Mortar is not our competitor, but our partner.

And to buyer we are a google, just much more organized and highly trust worthy. Empowering the buyer in the easiest and safest way is our mission in the community of buyers and sellers.

 

 

(buyers checkout new Seller Buyer Communication tools and loads of notification about every seller activity related to your order at  ww.tradus.com/my_order_history ).

 

And in the spirit of internet empowerment and community trust building, we have been innovating very cool stuff very very relevant for Indian community. This post is just a kickoff for  loads of cool and revolutionary stuff. Will be back with more firepower for the seller and buyer community.

New Delhi, 22nd March, 2013 – Tradus.com, India’s fastest growing online marketplace gives a grand head-start to the sales of the much awaited Samsung Galaxy S4 in India. It becomes the first destination to launch the pre-booking of S4, effective from March 18, 2013. Now owning the phone you have been dying to get your hands on is just a click away!

Last week over the unveiling ceremony of the Samsung S4 at New York’s famous Radio City Music Hall, international officials declared its official roll out with a staggering 327 operators across 155 countries with the official release date being April 26 – 2013.  However, Tradus.com turns the tide in favour of Indians by activating the pre-booking for the S4 much before its official release.

Mudit Khosla, CEO, Tradus.com said, “Tradus.com has steadily gained a reputation as the online launch pad for the fresh crop of gadgets in the Indian market today.  We have been a frontrunner to launch the best of gadgets like the iPhone 5, Blackberry Z10, HCL Me Tab V1Tablet, Samsung S3 etc. that too at best prices.

Customer has to make the advanced booking with a fixed amount of Rs 999/- and the balanced amount would be paid by the customers only when the phone is launched on the site. The product will be shipped to the customer on priority.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 launched in New York is a high tech product with more innovative features as compared to its predecessor. Fitting a larger screen of higher resolution in a more compact and lighter body, the Samsung Galaxy S4 is also the first smartphone to feature an octa-core CPU. The Exynos 5410 chipset has a set of four Cortex-A15 cores to do the heavy lifting and another quarter of power-saving Cortex-A7 cores, which takes care of less demanding tasks. More power, larger screen, a host of new exclusive software features and a larger battery to keep it going longer – the Samsung Galaxy S4 has all the right boxes ticked to be considered a worthy successor to the most capable android so far. It also has a key advantage over its direct rivals in running on the latest Android 4.2 platform.

Tradus.com Presenting: Mobile Verification for GV: Vol I

Based on somewhat true and sometimes exaggerated events

Synopsis
There was a happy small not-so-small organisation called Tradus who used to sell pen drives and other products. Business was booming because of newly born deals and mega-deals platform. All the buyers and employees were happy happy. But there was a new breed of notorious buyers started to emerge from the scum of underworld. These notorious buyers used to buy lots of deals by creating fake accounts and leave other harmless buyers starving and deprived of the pleasure of purchasing a good deal. This act not only harmed genuine buyers but also hampered Tradus unique and repeating buyers growth, this type of growth and that type of growth. To put an end to all this a team of specially skilled men [no girls yet :-( ] was formed overnight ( and were asked to work over nights ). The task was to build a fair play system and do justice to Tradus buyers. The team was called “Justice League” and their first mission was “Eye for an Eye A deal for a verified mobile”.

Google Nexus 7 officially launched in India, but imported version is still a better buy!

Its thin, its lightweight & has a great design. Needless to say it’s yet another marvel powered by Google.

Nexus 7 is Google’s latest Nexus experience device and the first tablet to feature Android™ 4.1 Jelly Bean. It combines the best of both Google and ASUS design, with the most advanced software from Google paired with cutting edge ASUS hardware.

With an NVIDIA® Tegra® 3 quad-core processor, everything is faster – pages load quickly, gameplay is smooth and responsive, and running multiple apps is a breeze. A 12core GeForce® GPU delivers advanced graphics while the patented 4-PLUS-1™ CPU design gives you maximum performance when you need it and power efficiency when battery conservation is the priority.

With over 8 hours of HD video playback, 10 hours of web browsing, and 10 hours of e-reading, Nexus 7 is designed to go the distance.

The 16GB version is launched in India at a price point of Rs. 19990, however the imported version is still cheaper.

So why is the Nexus more expensive in India? The reason is simple – Google sells the Nexus 7 in the US, where it subsidizes the cost of the device. Google (like Amazon) has gone on the record to say that they’re selling the tablets at cost – they’re not out to make a profit on the hardware itself, but rather, to grow their ecosystem of users, and to build value for developers. The company will recover the money through gains in Android over time. Amazon’s strategy of selling Kindle’s at cost to market their library of books, movies and music is similar.

Unless you want it tomorrow, buying on Tradus will help you save Rs. 3200 on the imported version. Its priced @ 16500 and is a good buy considering that the device is same & not locked for US.
