Hi Everyone,

How are you.
Got an Idea to set up an innovative web site (www.misti.com). Where food product like Sweet’s(dry/wet) we are going to sell. So Just suggest me, will it be a good Idea to sell “SWEET” by using a E- Commerce site, across India.

Example : Rosogulla !!!

  1. Hi Amit,

    We are located in mumbai and currently developing E-Comm Website for One of the Big Meethai wala in mumbai,

    if you are looking for Development and Consultation contact me on govind@noesis.in

    or give me call on 9221439536

  2. Ok. This is good idea. But for Indian buyer tasting before buying food products matters.

  3. Dear Amit, 

    There is no doubt that it is a good idea. Selling sweets there is nothing new. In every area you will find 2-3 good sweet shops. The factor which will differentiate your project / idea is delivery part and the variety of products. 

    We are working on a similar idea. We sell cakes online (www.cakehunt.com) from reputed bakers of the location. Offer people what they want, when they want and where they want. Products accompanied by services will be really a gr8 concept.

    We take “e-commerce” as an alternate channel of sells. I personally believe in selling food items online than any other things.  Wishing you all the best !

    Please go through the below link to check the suggestions I received when i shared the same thought about cakehunt.com on trhs.

  4. amit – pls check this post out – perhaps there are some learnings for you (though i realise mishti & namkeen are poles apart in terms of shelf life and packaging needs)

  5. I don’t know about this being a good idea or not (I don’t know much),but some kind of MVP and data will be able to tell better.

    But, for people who grew up city A and living in city B, might pay a little extra for that old taste from city A (for me its Indore, MP) and I will pay a little extra for Kaju Katli from Agrawal Sweets Indore. Basic expectation here being it has to be fresh..:-)

    Other than that, I have some ideas around some customer development and minimum viable products and will be happy to share if you want.

    All the very best.

  12. Dear Amit, 

    Just found that the domain misti.com is already registered.

    mymisti.com is available for sale at Rs 499/-… if you like it, go and block the domain. I want to place an order of Rosogullas.

  13. Hi Ashish,

    Yes you are correct that misti.com, is already been sold, but yesterday i got my domain name as “www.banglamisti.in”. But you can not open this site now, work is under process. And to place an order of Rosogulla, i am sorry to say u have to wait till Dec. month, on Dec. i am going to launch the site with products all over India. So after that only u can check out the site.and place an order.
