@prakdadlani Hello Prakash - Founder of Drinkbot here, we built India’s first smart water bottle. I have been breathing Electronics, PCB, components, plastics, Glass, Steel, Copper manufacturing. 3D printings, Prototypes etc for the last 5 years. Know how difficult it is so - count me in!!

This is not entirely true. Meta not just counts likes, comments but a major part of their algorithm is based on clicks, time spent on a content type and scroll speed as well. 👇🏼

[Aloke Sharma @aloke07]

Thanks to the shopping season in India, we have made a 60% jump in sales this month! 🎊

[Aloke Sharma @aloke07]

@ravihanda Ohh can’t believe this!! We just interacted a few days back. Om Shanti 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[Aloke Sharma @aloke07]

@arindam___paul Congratulations Arindam!!

[Aloke Sharma @aloke07]

End of day update - We crossed the 14k mark early in the day today 🎊🍾🎉

It feels so amazing! I know we will not be able to double our sales in August compared to July. Or maybe 🤞🏻

[Aloke Sharma @aloke07]

If we sell worth only 14k more between now and tomorrow midnight on Amazon, it would mean we doubled our sale in July compared to June !! 🎊🎉

I think we’ll make it!

@NeerajWFC We are one of those! Can write a book on jugaads for survival 😂

So the seller takes home approximately Rs. 255. Now imagine how many products can you buy or make for Rs. 255.

Whats important to see is - We have still not considered GST, Packing costs, Mandatory labels, Rent, manpower etc. 😊

[Aloke Sharma @aloke07]

This is for all consumers that buy on Amazon. Prices may look very high but only a few sellers make money, that is achieved on volume and a lot of policies that you can negotiate on. Take an example of an item in the Home and Kitchen category that sells for Rs. 1000 below.

[Aloke Sharma @aloke07]

Amazon commission is around 12%, with a closing fee if you self ship is Rs. 100. The shipping will cost you an average of Rs. 125 in India.

Then comes the marketing cost which ranges above 20%. The returns cost are also added which usually averages around 20%.

@piabajpiee Hey Pia, I can help you drink more water. I am the founder of DrinkBot, a startup that made the 1st smart water bottle in India. Would be happy to ship a smart bottle that helps you drink more water everyday!

[Aloke Sharma @aloke07]

For example, let’s say we can sell a product for Rs. 1000. We will have to increase the price to 1200 to cover the RTO costs. This is one of the reasons that everything online is sold on higher prices and there is no scope of reduction.

[Aloke Sharma @aloke07]

Reasons why you shouldn’t buy from Amazon 👇🏼

1. A customer “KD sharma” from Kullu, HP bought our bottle on 20th April. We packed the order same day but Amazon scheduled the pick up only for 24th May.
The customer patiently waited for 5 days and finally on the day of the pickup.

[Aloke Sharma @aloke07]

While buying from Amazon, honest customers have to suffer due to fraud customers. Every online business suffers from fake orders and returns that they consider in their final pricing. Usually around 20%, the RTO will hike the final price of any product.
