Time to Build an Unique Version of Amazon

The way online stores like Amazon or Flipkart and others are growing makes me jittery. In some way, like others I like the convenience of buying things without any hassle.

Often, I find this kind of big shopping like a store without much uniqueness or humanness. It’s all going out like this – SALE, BILLIONS SALE,  MEGA SALE, GREAT INDIAN SALE! CHEAP DEALS, FAST CHECKOUT!

Unique STORE

 Just wondering if there could be a market place which sells only handcrafted, unique items. Why shouldn’t there be one such kind of eCommerce store! Why can’t it be Made In India!

What should this store sell!

1. Sell things with care – hand printed gifted covers making the delivery a joyous thing
2. Sell unique services – from beauty services to escort services
3 Promote art ( Not just mere art, anything that has an art value)
4. One-of-the-kind lamp shades, Teeshirts, printed saris, hand-made books
5. Sofas ( unique as the maker), designed helmets, customized belts
6. Pots or plant hangers

Do you think, such an exclusive store can survive in this highly competitive market, and also when these products can find a place in Amazon too.
