The story of Shopclues entering the Indian startup ecosystem and competing with well-funded e-commerce boys is similar to the tale of David vs. Goliath!
Shopclues was founded in 2011 and was pretty much one of the last entrants in the e-commerce space. E-commerce is one of the most competitive segments in the Indian Startup ecosystem and it’s difficult for new players to come and compete with existing well-funded E-commerce giants.
Shopclues from the beginning was very clear that to succeed in the e-commerce industry they have to diverge, differentiate and create their niche. Else, they might end up looking like a man with a split personality – selling both luxury and mass market products.
ShopClues noticed that nobody was representing the bazaars or bringing the actual traders of India online. They decided to be a mass market retailer. The categories, customers, and merchants they targeted determined their success.
Currently, more than 3.5 million orders are shipped every month with over a 50 million products to choose from and a merchant base of 130,000 sellers.
Did Shopclues have the “Last Mover Advantage” or did they just get the product (mass) market fit right and executed brilliantly?
