An early festive season, new launches, and discounts, among other factors, have boosted the numbers. According to a report by Counterpoint Research, Indian companies reported a strong quarter with a 143% year-on-year growth in Q3 2022. On the other hand, Chinese companies reported an increase of just 13%, with <keyword id="2210217" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="oneplus" source="Orion">OnePlus</keyword> taking the lead.

While boAt, Noise, and Mivi occupied the top three spots, Boult Audio occupied the fifth spot. pTron, which occupied the fifth position in Q2 2022 has been pushed out with the entry of OnePlus. While boAt retained the top position in the TWS segment, its market share has come down from 46% in Q2 to 42% in Q3, as per Anshika Jain, senior research analyst, at Counterpoint. Noise increased in market share from 8% to 9% during the same period. Mivi continues to command a 6% market share. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Four out of five TWS are from Indian companies" comment="subhead" text="Four out of five TWS are from Indian companies">Four out of five TWS are from Indian companies</cmsannotation> The Counterpoint report has revealed that Indian companies command a 79% market share, meaning nearly four out of five TWS sold in the country are from Indian companies. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="OnePlus enters the top five" comment="subhead" text="OnePlus enters the top five">OnePlus enters the top five</cmsannotation> OnePlus has entered the top five list this quarter, making it the only non-Indian company on the list.

The boAt Airdopes has become the most sold device for the sixth consecutive quarter with a market share of 9%. “We have continued to be leaders for nine successive quarters in our core personal audio and the earwear category. We will stay committed to strengthening category leadership within audio by enhancing R&amp;D and design capabilities and supporting the building of a local manufacturing ecosystem under the Make-in-India initiative,” said Vivek Gambhir, chief executive officer, boAt in a comment to Business Insider India. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Indian companies virtually own the affordable segment" comment="subhead" text="Indian companies virtually own the affordable segment">Indian companies virtually own the affordable segment</cmsannotation> According to Counterpoint, the domination of Indian companies is much higher in the budget segment, with domestic companies commanding a 95% market share in the below ₹2,000 segment. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Domestic manufacturing gets a boost" comment="subhead" text="Domestic manufacturing gets a boost">Domestic manufacturing gets a boost</cmsannotation> Domestic manufacturing has greatly boosted in Q3, with a 288% quarterly growth.

<ul><li>Try not to shop for what you may need and only purchase what you definitely need. There will always be a sale later.</li><li>While most large online outlets offer your money back on returns, few don’t, so always read the terms and conditions.</li><li>In the urge to buy something unique or cheap from international sites, you may end up paying a stupid amount on import duty. </li></ul> There was a time not so long ago when <keyword id="6368952" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shopping">shopping</keyword> was an ‘event’ for an ‘event’ - a wedding in the family, a religious festival, a birthday and a few other special occasions. But now, it is something that is indulged in almost every other day or week. And while some find the experience of going to a mall thrilling, that insatiable need to shop⁠ ⁠or to find great discounts and deals is more or less limited to a phone or a computer because of the current COVID-19 situation. While it may be tough to ignore the plethora of sale notifications from companies like <keyword id="18635" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Amazon">Amazon</keyword> and <keyword id="6354742" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Flipkart">Flipkart</keyword> telling us about the fabulous deals they have in store, it is crucial to be mindful of the points below before investing our hard-earned money. 1. Make a wishlist: It is easy to jump into a rabbit hole of <keyword id="6357762" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="online-shopping">online shopping</keyword> and buy everything cheap just because you may need it later or may fit into it later. Try not to shop for the ‘mays’ and only purchase what you need now. There will always be a sale later. 2. Take time to scour the internet: Just like you don’t walk into a shop and buy the first thing you see, don’t just buy the first thing you see online that meets your requirement. While it may be tempting just to click ‘buy now’ when you see something exciting, and on sale online, it is advisable to do your research and check out a bunch of sites before you hone-in on a product. It’s common to stumble upon an identical item cheaper on another site. 3. Buy good quality out-of-season articles and save them for later: While buying for the upcoming season may seem like the sensible thing to do, what would be more prudent is to invest in premium quality products end-of-season. They are often dirt-cheap, and you may never be able to purchase it full price anyway. It may be a bummer to wait for months before you can wear your new purchase, but it will undoubtedly be rewarding when you do sift it out months later. In fact, it’s best not to buy these when the company is offering a sale, instead, look out for these items when the sale is not on, some sites have a permanent sale section for things that are low in stock, or they want to get rid of inventory since the season is gone. 4. Measure up: It is always best to take a tape measure and measure yourself or the space in which the item you wish to buy will go. However, some size charts can be quite deceptive. So, it may be a good idea to check out the sizes of your already-existing items and buy from the same brand or same size. Also, don’t buy something by just seeing the picture. There are hilarious memes out there when people have bought items thinking it’s of standard size and they turn out to be miniatures. 5. Make a note of the delivery time and delivery charges: No one wants to pay extra for delivery nor wait forever to receive an item. Some sites have an option wherein you can check the delivery time to your location by typing in your pin code, and some websites also have options of items that are ‘ready to be dispatched’ that will take a shorter period to arrive. There are instances where the site claims there is no delivery charge, but you will notice the same product in another site will cost you less even after paying the delivery charges. Another point to note is whether you will have to bear any cost if you have to return or exchange the product. 6. Go through the fine print, particularly the return/exchange policy: A big advantage to shopping online is the fact that you can ‘usually’ return a product and get your money back. However, while most large online outlets offer your money back, few don’t. They only offer exchange or store credit, and sometimes not even that. It would be wise to read the ‘shipping and returns’ terms and conditions or call the customer care and check with them. 7. If you are unhappy with the product, complain: It’s always smart to let the seller know if you faced any issues with the product. However, be kind and patient, a random rant by an irate customer is often ignored. Call, mail, chat, whatever floats your boat. If your problem is genuine, an enterprising seller may offer you a voucher to make up for a bad experience. 8. Be very careful while ordering from international websites: In the urge to buy something unique or cheap, you may end up paying a stupid amount in import duty. Also remember, once purchased, it will be close to impossible to return the item if dissatisfied. 9. Always read the user feedback: This feature may be unavailable in most sites, but some, like Amazon, <keyword id="319719" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Myntra">Myntra</keyword>, <keyword id="113593" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Marks-Spencer">Marks &amp; Spencer</keyword> etc., have a feature where users can leave images and feedback on the product. Now, interpreting the feedback is also crucial. Beware of the always-disgruntled shopper who will buy a ₹100 headphone but expect Marshall-quality audio or disingenuous extra positive feedback probably written by the seller’s kin. Then, there is a genuine lot whose opinion is resonated by most, which is usually the best indicator of whether the product is worth buying. Also, go with your gut. If something looks too good to be true, it probably is.

But the show was largely run by giants like Amazon and Flipkart. That’s when <keyword id="4075194" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Chirag-Taneja" source="Orion">Chirag Taneja</keyword> came up with the solution to help Indian brands to set up their own identity in the world of digital retail. GoKwik, launched in January 2021, offers tools and solutions to direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands — that sell directly to customers through their own website — to offer better experience to users. “If you look at D2C websites and compare it to the giants, you’ll realise that many things are broken. If e-commerce has to boom then someone will need to fix these experiences. That is what we do as a company,” Chirag Taneja, chief executive (CEO) and co-founder of GoKwik, told Business Insider. Fundraise to international expansion — all planned out GoKwik on Tuesday, September 7, announced a $5.5 million fundraise in order to expand its presence further. The pre-Series A round was led by Matrix Partners India, with participation of global investors like RTP Global. Several marquee angel investors and serial entrepreneurs also participated in the round. This includes Jupiter’s Jitendra Gupta, Uni’s Nitin Gupta, AngelList India’s Utsav Somani, CarDekho’s Umang Kumar, Shaadi.com’s Anupam Mittal, Livspace’s Ramakant Sharma, OfBusiness’ Asish Mohapatra and more. Over 12 angels invested in the pre-Series A round. GoKwik plans to use this funding to double its current workforce of 75 employees by 2022 and expand to other Southeast Asian countries that face the same ecommerce related challenges as India. The company has zeroed down on Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia for now. The Gurugram-based company notes that they will have an early mover advantage if they start international expansion now. For its international play, the company will focus on building local and central teams in the specific region and partner with local players. The technology and the product would largely remain the same for these markets, where cash-on-delivery would be a more common mode of payment. The Gurgaon-based startup helps retailers overcome challenges of setting up online stores and provide better experience to their customers. The company claims to have processed over a million transactions since its launch. Helping boAt, MamaEarth, LimeRoad and more The e-commerce enabler has also added 75 customers to its bucket list, ranging from marketplaces to publicly listed companies and renowned D2C brands. This includes boAt, Mamaearth, The Man Company, Heads Up For Tails, LimeRoad, ManMatters, The Whole Truth, The Souled Store, and TCNS Clothing Co, which owns brands like W, Aurelia and Wishful. Taneja noted that there are four legs of e-commerce — discovery, search/selection, conversion, retention. GoKwik is solving all these problems with its solution, as per Taneja. Ecommerce is expanding and one would need to use ecommerce enablers to bring the cost down, he added. The company was founded by Taneja and Vivek Bajpai. Taneja has previously worked as the chief revenue officer of Bombay Shaving Company, assistant vice president at Yes Bank and founded a food tech company Ketchupp in 2015. Bajpai, chief technology officer (CTO) and co-founder of GoKwik, was the head of technology at an adtech company SilverPush. Ankush Talwar, chief data scientist at GoKwik, is also part of the founding team. He previously was associated with Kognoz Research &amp; Consulting, Quantiphi and Publicis.

Inspired by her own experiments with hair colouring, 26-year-old <keyword id="16064005" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="yushika-jolly" source="Orion">Yushika Jolly</keyword> launched Paradyes in March 2021 with her husband, Siddharth Raghuvanshi. Based out of Ahmedabad, Paradyes aims to break myths surrounding hair colour, and go beyond the limited options (primarily browns and reds) available in the market. “There are several myths about the damage that colouring might cause to your hair. We are here to inform our customers and audience about how they can experiment and style their hair without damaging them! Our products are Ammonia-free, Paraben-free, PPD-free, and damage-free,” <a href="https://www.birdsofparadyes.com/pages/our-story">states </a>the company website. In 2019, when the idea for the product first came to Jolly, her brother helped her with the R&amp;D. Jolly’s family is responsible for manufacturing the core raw material and chemicals used globally in hair colour products, and has a turnover of nearly ₹800 crore. Currently, Paradyes provides over 20 hair colours that are affordable, easy-to-apply, safe and don’t require a ‘long-term commitment’. The colour lasts for 8-10 washes, the founders claim. The founders also shared that they aim to expand into the permanent and temporary hair colour categories in the future. Paradyes’ products are currently available on the company website, in online marketplaces like Amazon and Flipkart. They are available offline in over 35 Health &amp; Glow stores. Paradyes has over 80k <a href="https://www.instagram.com/birdsofparadyes/?hl=en">followers on Instagram</a>. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Founders receive a rainbow of lucrative offers" comment="subhead2" text="Founders receive a rainbow of lucrative offers">Founders receive a rainbow of lucrative offers</cmsannotation> Jolly, who holds a Bachelor's degree in design from NIFT, is responsible for marketing, packaging and design. Raghuvanshi, who holds an MBA degree from Symbiosis, looks after the financials and operations. The startup raked in sales to the tune of ₹3.5 crore in FY22. Furthermore, it saw a consistent increase in monthly sales (before the episode was shot) — from ₹35 lakh in July to ₹51 lakh in September. The founders asked for an investment of ₹65 lakh for 1% equity, which valued the company at ₹65 crore. Paradyes left the sharks impressed with a robust supply chain and on-brand marketing. It was dubbed a ‘category-creation business’ by Lenskart cofounder, Peyush Bansal. He started the bidding war with an offer of ₹65 lakh for 5% equity, valuing the company at ₹13 crore. This was followed by a joint offer by Shaadi.com founder Anupam Mittal and Sugar Cosmetics cofounder Vineeta Singh, who asked for 4% equity for the same amount, raising the valuation to ₹16.25 crore. Aman Gupta, co-founder of boAt, was the last one to make an offer. While he offered the same terms as Bansal, i.e. ₹65 lakh for 5% equity, he added that he would love to collaborate with Singh. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Rejecting a higher offer for the right sharks" comment="subhead2" text="Rejecting a higher offer for the right sharks">Rejecting a higher offer for the right sharks</cmsannotation> After receiving multiple lucrative offers, the founders made an unexpected demand — they requested ₹65 lakh for 3% equity, but from Vineeta Singh and Aman Gupta. Bansal commented that Singh’s company, Sugar Cosmetics, was actually a competitor for Paradyes — a claim that Singh vehemently denied, stating there is a wide difference in the hair products and makeup or cosmetics. Bansal’s offer of ₹65 lakh for 3% equity was matched by Singh and Mittal, with Gupta also joining the two. Bansal rallied on with a counter offer of ₹65 lakh for 1% equity — the original ask by the founders. Gupta offered more than money to the founders. “We’re here to support you. In no other category has an Indian brand pushed out foreign brands from the India market but we (boAt) have. We know how to fight them. Now decide, if you need value or valuation!” commented Gupta. In less than five minutes, the startup’s valuation zoomed from ₹13 crore to ₹65 crore. The overwhelmed founders said that Singh and Gupta had the kind of experience they were looking for. This left a sour taste in Mittal’s mouth — who backed out, stating he doubted the founders’ integrity. Ultimately, Gupta and Singh jointly made an offer of ₹65 lakh for 2% equity, valuing the company at approximately ₹32.5 crore. The founders accepted it even though they had a higher offer from Bansal. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="‘Dirty game was played, breaking the alliance’" comment="subhead2" text="‘Dirty game was played, breaking the alliance’">‘Dirty game was played, breaking the alliance’</cmsannotation> While Bansal remarked to the founders that it wasn’t the right choice, the founders clarified to both Mittal and Bansal that their intention was never to offend the sharks. “What happened here was that you got to nitpick over what you wanted. And your valuation was raised instantly. But a dirty game was played here — breaking an alliance between two sharks, as Aman and Vineeta did. And then what you did. It was a little messy and dirty,” commented Mittal. At that time, Namita Thapar, executive director at Emcure Pharmaceuticals commented that the founders had every right to choose from the multiple offers available to them. “Let them (founders) do what they think was the right choice for them — why do you have to make them feel guilty about it?” remarked Thapar, who had backed out from investing right at the start. Meanwhile, till the end, Bansal stuck to his guns that Singh’s Sugar Cosmetics would prove to be a competition for Paradyes.

Last year, as the global pandemic forced people to stay home and shop online for everything, consumers started moving away from pinning buying decisions on discounts to looking at products that bring value, indicates a report by Bengaluru-based research firm <keyword id="3359665" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="RedSeer">RedSeer</keyword>. While the overall transaction value in e-commerce fell during the months of peak lockdown in India, April to June, it picked up soon after as people still afraid to venture out of their homes resorted to buying most of their essentials online. <div type="image" title="consumer trend" msid="81145867" hostid="261"></div> Consulting firm RedSeer pointed out the trend in its recent Ground Zero report. “Consumers have been shopping for product or service quality of online retailers rather than price and are keen to continue shopping online in 2021 as well- which bodes very well for the continued growth of the online sector and makes it imperative for brands to focus on online offerings,” said Mrigank Gutgutia, director at RedSeer. Gutgutia broke it down further for Business Insider. “One dimension is that simply there’s one set of consumers who want to buy the usual products but even without a very large discount being offered online. There is another smaller category of customers who have grown increasingly conscious about the quality of the products, both these customers may have slightly different focussed channels,” he said. However, while this may be an urban-centric phenomenon, it’s not too different for Tier II and III e-commerce customers. Consumers from Tier II and Tier III cities chose <keyword id="6357762" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="online-shopping">online shopping</keyword> last year due to two reasons -- they wanted a safer experience and they began to trust online retailers for the quality of products. “In our consumer survey with thousands of users, we found that discounting was probably the 4th-5th reason which pushed people to shop online,” said Gutgutia. During the pandemic, as essential products became the most sought after category online, it was also the category that saw the highest average order value growth in the last year, which means that consumers opted for better quality products in FMCG. <div type="image" title="Average order value" msid="81145936" hostid="261"></div> During the fourth quarter of the calendar year 2020, the trend of choosing value over price was seen in Tier II and Tier III cities as well. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none; width: 468pt; table-layout: fixed;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Tier II and Tier III cities </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">2019 </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">2020 </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Volume Growth </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">32% </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">46% </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Value Growth </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">26% </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">43% </td></tr></tbody></table>Source: Unicommerce and Kearney report This trend of loyal online consumers didn’t go unnoticed by giant e-commerce retailers like Flipkart.

Mangesh Panditrao, co-founder of Shoptimize, a startup which helps businesses come online, told Business Insider, "The COVID-19 pandemic sparked an increased preference for high-quality products that enhance wellness, with price consciousness being less of a factor. Organic food and wellness products, locally sourced produce, sustainably farmed goods, and vegan/cruelty-free products are now more popular. Our clients saw a 40% increase in AOV (Average Order Value) in this fiscal year compared to last year,” And experts like Gutgutia believe that this trend of online spending won’t change much in 2021 as well. “More than half of the people surveyed indicated that their spending would increase in 2021,” he said.

Direct to consumer is when a brand sells their products directly to consumers without selling through any third party retailers, wholesalers etc. Some of the popular D2C brands in the market are MyGlamm, Mamaearth, Wow Skin Science, BoAT, and Go Noise and the number of these brands in India has more than doubled in the last two years, according to consulting firm Bain and Company. Platforms selling D2C brands include Meesho, Tata Cliq, Myntra, Nykaa and Ajio. However, ABFRL’s business model will be similar to the New York-based e-commerce player Thrasio, which acquires small merchants and brands listed on Amazon marketplace. Thrasio has acquired more than 100 third party sellers or fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) businesses and is valued at $6 billion. Indian players like 10Club, Mensa Brands (founded by Myntra's former CEO Ananth Narayanan) and GlobalBees (founded by FirstCry founder Supam Maheshwari and Edelweiss' former executive Nitin Agarwal) have garnered the interest of investors. Notably, Mensa Brands is the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/former-myntra-ceo-started-mensa-brand-in-may-and-its-already-worth-a-billion-dollars-with/amp_articleshow/87735832.cms">youngest Indian startup</a> to be valued over a billion dollars and 10Club raised the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/bhavna-suresh-has-closed-indias-largest-seed-round-for-her-nine-month-old-startup-10club/amp_articleshow/83978841.cms">largest seed round</a> in Asia, last year.
