Replied bySaahil Goel
Co-founder & CEO at Shiprocket
Niche: eCommerce
Revenue: Approx. $16 Million/month
Location: Gurugram, Haryana, India
Started: 2012
We started fourteen years ago in 2011 as Cart Rocket because we saw that Indian merchants had no easy way to build websites. I was a coder and building stores seemed like a great opportunity. However, we pivoted twice, almost died both times, and had to learn that the Indian market was completely different from the West.
