Oct 2015 – Jan 2017 · 1 yr 3 mos · Allahabad Area, India

• Joined College for 6 Months after Ni8, College was really boring so dropped out within 6 months to pursue e-commerce with amazon which seemed like a great opportunity.
• This led to the setting up of RHO Enterprises (Loved Physics ;) always wanted to keep afloat.
• Mobiles was the product of choice (Which was a very bad decision considering the players & capital involved)
• Stayed afloat for sometime as i also started selling locally branded electronics in my home town and via ebay.
• Also tried to launch a clothing brand (fast fashion based ) which never took off as demonetisation happened and there was a significant shock to the supply chain.
• To make a place for myself in the marketplace i had to have good seller ratings which was not possible to achieve quickly with mobile phones as i was operating on limited quantity. For this what i did was picked up the best selling book in India (HC Verma, Physics again ;) and sold it at half the price, and included a rate us flyer inside every book, with led to very good seller ratings on the marketplace which in turn led to a 5x growth in my product sales.
• The operations involved were really complex and as i couldn't maintain inventory, communication with my customers & product delivery was taking alot of time Amazon blocked me.
