Pinduoduo for India

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a social e-commerce platform that lets customers in India buy together in groups to unlock deals they can't get alone. Our product reduces the price barrier for price-sensitive customers and brings a social layer to online shopping through group buying.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We currently live in New Delhi, India, and plan to keep the company based there after YC as our users and supply chains are India-centric.

Explain your decision regarding location.

India is the core market for our product. Being in New Delhi keeps us close to the customers we serve and the vendors we partner with, plus we understand the local market nuances better than anyone else.
