About Rohit Kurmi

Hey, everyone, I’m Rohit kurmi, a tech enthusiast, always curious to learn about future technologies like Blockchain & Machine learning. Also, have a keen interest in Marketing, I started learning online marketing in my first year of college, along with learning I also started my first startup in my First year, it was an online T-shirt selling platform, thanks to my marketing knowledge it helped me to get few sales. But down the line, I was not satisfied selling T-shirts, but this experience taught me the Do's & Dont's of online business, maybe I was not connected or passionate towards the product which I was selling I decided to sell the products in which I was passionate about the product category was Gadgets, as a tech lover, I always get excited when a new kind of tech product launches in the market. In my 2nd year, I started my second startup named "Teclone" it was an e-commerce portal for electronic products which I directly sourced from Chinese manufactures, as soon as I ran my first Facebook Ad I started getting orders. Because the kind of products which I was selling was not easily available in India & that too at that minimal rate, but here comes the tragedy as I mentioned the products were directly imported from China, customers had to wait for around 4 weeks to receive their order, in the case of cash on delivery some customers even forget that they had ordered something & cancelled the order at the doorstep. Then to add the last nail in the coffin, I started getting charged customs duties which I had to pay from my pocket, I shut this business in November 2018, this phase of my life I learned a lot about E-commerce business in India, How it is very different from the rest of the world because getting orders in the Indian market is not very difficult, but fulfilling the order was the difficult part of the whole business, especially with COD(cash on delivery) orders, where the cancellation rate is pretty high as compared to prepaid orders. In 2019, I graduated from my college, & got the job in an Advertising Agency where I was at the position of Ad manager, thanks to my previous experience. Now I am working on another startup named Buzztro, It will be a community e-commerce platform where a group of people will bid on a product to lower down its price. And the discounted price will be distributed among the group. If you need to get in touch with me here's my email id - kurmirohit8@gmail.com
