11.1.23 11:00 am- Greetings,
- I hope this post finds you in the best of your spirits.
- As this year starts it comes with a new hope and new aspirations for all of us.
As we all enter the second week of the year I thought it due to coin and summarise our achievements till now.
We had some new enhancements added to our servers which would effectively give them a faster response time and more space based on our new implementation method.
This new method also gives us hope for providing a better customer experience to our customers.
As of closing today gangabiz remains to be the lowest cost ecommerce marketplace.
Using this blog I would like to invite sellers to sell their new only merchandise on the ecommerce marketplace marketplace.
Our quest for innovation does not stop here as we seek new sustainable technology methods to improve and optimise our assets.
At closing I would invite our customers to come and shop on our marketplace and potential sellers to list their merchandise with us.
Thanking you and wishing you all a great and fruitful year ahead where you achieve all the goals you have had thought to achieve.
Hope to see you either shopping and/or selling on gangabiz.com! as we enter our 5th year of Live operations.

The year that was in Numbers
17.12.20 8:41amAs we near the end of the fateful 2020. I thought it would be good to look back at the year in numbers. We had close to 28000 visits since our launch, 16000 unique and first-time visitors. Our ads created close to a million-plus impressions in the digital space generating close to 13000 unique visits & our visitors spanned 5 continents.#gangabiz #yearinnumbers
Lighting, colour and video
17.11.20 9:40amAs we progressed from one to the next and observed user behaviors, we realized that one of the most pressing needs from the customer's point of view was to have a real-life look at the items that were displayed.Going by that definition, we realized that a video of the garment in white light would be most appropriate as people would have a real feel of the item.Therefore going by that formulation: we have now dynamically enabled videos for some of our more expensive merchandise so that the consumer has a real life-like simulated look at the apparel.As with many other features, we feel that it is one of our more cool features. Happy shopping.

The case for gangabiz
25th of August'2020 00:26 amI get this question: Why gangabiz.com as another e-commerce player when we already have so many popular? ones? Our answer: We offer or rather charge the lowest commission in the industry across the popular players Here is an example: Player A charges between 20-25 % for an item sold on their marketplace So if you are selling on marketplace A an item for say Rs 5000 then they(Player A) takes at least a commission between 1000 to 1250 Player F charges between 30-40% for an item sold on their marketplace So, for player F they would take a commission between 1500 to 2000 for the same item of Rs 5000 sold on their marketplace. We at gangabiz.com charge just 10 % flat so for the same item sold we take a commission of 500 and which means the seller (That is you) gets 750 rs more(when compared to marketplace A) and 1500 more(When compared to marketplace F) for the same item sold at the same price on our marketplace and which means more profits to the seller. Now my request to sellers you do the math yourself and decide. If you ask us you make more profits by selling on our marketplace. So the math clearly says gangabiz.com/gangabiz.in is the chosen one if you want to maximize profits. Choose the profitable way of selling and you can pass on the profits to the customers or you keep it to yourself! we won’t ask! it’s your call!
A brief history:
18 August 2020 at 6:56 PMThe name gangabiz is derived from the combination of 2 prominent words Ganga and biz and it symbolizes the flow of a river and biz means business. What was the trigger: There was a feeling to try out e-commerce and see if a profitable rise was possible. How we built the marketplace: We started by writing the first line of code and built upon it module upon module What we intend to do: We intend to be the number one e-commerce player globally. And how are we doing it: We are building it one brick at a time inch by inch. What protection are we taking in these COVID times?: We are using artificial intelligence wherever possible to reduce the use of human models and ensure that all our apparel remains untouched by hand. We are using sanitizers, soap solutions, and disinfectants extensively so that the virus cannot catch us and thereby keeping our customers safe.
