Hey bro, this concept looks interesting and fresh! I had a few thoughts I wanted to ask you out of curiosity (and to understand it better): 1. How exactly do you plan to stand out in the market by using reels? Big players like Amazon or Flipkart can easily introduce reels too — what’s your core edge that they can’t copy easily? 2. How do you plan to attract users to a new app for shopping, especially when most people are already used to and trust platforms like Amazon or Flipkart? 3. How do you plan to make money from this? Is it through commissions, ads, or something else? And how is your model more beneficial for sellers or creators compared to what they get on Amazon? 4. Let’s say Flipkart or Amazon adds short-form video shopping tomorrow — what will make users or sellers stick with your platform instead of switching back to them?

Hey Tech Bird, thank you for these thoughtful questions! Here’s how I’m thinking about it, How will I stand out in the market with reels? You’re right, big players like Amazon or Flipkart can add reels. But my core edge isn’t just short videos, it’s the community-first approach where shopping feels like social discovery. We’re building features like creator collaboration, live product demos, and community recommendations that make it feel personal and authentic. Big marketplaces are huge but less personal. I’m focusing on trust, relatability, and niche product curation that’s hard for giants to replicate quickly. How will I attract users? I plan to target Gen Z and young shoppers who love discovering trends through creators. Instead of pushing ads, we’ll grow through creator partnerships, UGC (user-generated content), and incentives for early adopters, like rewards for sharing and shopping. Basically, it’s a mix of social discovery + entertainment + shopping, which is different from just search-and-buy. How will I make money? Main revenue will be through sales commissions, plus promoted content for brands. But unlike Amazon, I want to share more value with creators and sellers, giving them higher margins, instant payouts, and better exposure, because they bring in traffic too. So it’s a win-win: more sales for sellers, more income for creators, and healthy revenue for the platform. What if Amazon or Flipkart adds this too? Good question! If they copy reels, they’re still not a community-first app, they’re a marketplace with add-ons. My focus is on building deep creator and shopper loyalty by giving them tools, income, and a place where they feel seen. It’s about building a culture, not just a feature. People stick to communities they trust ,not just to features. Thanks for pushing me to think deeper, would love your thoughts too.

I think Flipkart has already added a section for scrolling videos. If you're creating an app where you expect users to scroll through videos every day just to find a random good product and pay a lot for it, I doubt this is going to work.

You’re right, Flipkart and others are experimenting with video sections too. But our focus isn’t just on adding videos .we’re building an experience where the entire shopping journey feels like discovering content you actually enjoy, not just random products. Think of it more like a creator-led, authentic feed ,where you trust the videos because they’re real, relatable, and entertaining. It’s not about paying more — it’s about buying better, through content you’d watch anyway. Appreciate your thoughts! 😊 Would love to hear what you think would make it work better.

This is exactly where e-commerce is heading. You’re tapping into the sweet spot between entertainment and shopping short-form video is the language of the next-gen consumer. By replacing static images with reels, you're not just selling products, you're selling experiences. The creator-driven approach adds authenticity and trust, which traditional platforms lack. Curious to know how you're planning to onboard creators at scale and ensure content quality remains high!
