Hello
This is my first post on this platform and also I have no experience in entrepreneurship so please bear with me.
Last week I was discussing an idea with a friend of an eCommerce store that will serve as a platform for emerging photographers and living artists by providing merchandising options for their art, so we did a quick search and found out that though there is no major company in India but some companies are already doing that successfully in developed nations (US & UK).
So, I want to ask :
1. How do you emulate (copy) and implement a business model that is successfully implemented by someone else in some other country according to India?
2. What all can we learn from them, as what they are doing right and what to avoid?
3. Points to consider while implementing it in India.

Check this if it helps answer all three questions of your’s, there are a few more if you Google who sell their own as well as other Photographers stockphotos as well 🙂
We undertake professional photography assignments both commercial and editorial. The archival restoration work
services is another fast developing vertical. stockimagebank has its corporate office headquartered in Gurgaon, the millennium city of India.
What are you doing to drive your customers to your site?
FlatPebble is an online Hyderabad, based marketplace that enables artists to showcase and sell original artwork and prints to a global audience. Started by Venky and Pranav
With flatpebble’s innovative technology artists can sell their stuff not only on our platform, but also within their Facebook page or their existing website or blog. Artists can also create a professional portfolio, find jobs or commissioned assignments and get hired.
Cheers 🙂

Why can’t you emulate Google? Or build a facebook?
START by asking – WHATS BROKEN in the business space that you want to work in – NOT ‘how to be a xerox copy of a xerox copy’!!
Also, your point “Last week I was discussing an idea with a friend of an eCommerce store that will serve as a platform for emerging photographers and living artists by providing merchandising options for their art, so we did a quick search and found out that though there is no major company in India but some companies are already doing that successfully in developed nations (US & UK).”
CAUTION:
If no one has done it yet, find out WHY!
e-com in India is as popular as cows on the road. WHY hasn’t anyone done this?
Is it too small, unviable, what?

Thanks for your reply Alok, I think that the questions you raised about why no one has done it yet and business viability, are very necessary to be answered first.
I’ll get back with answers to these questions.

Here are some indian options.

https://experiaonline.com is run by us but we haven’t started monetizing yet.
As Alok mentioned, find out why it hasnt been done yet (talk to a few artists and you will get the drift)
And if you are thinking replicating 20×200.com here, think again.
good luck.

Thanks Abhik for your suggestions.
https://www.sen6.net is more like what we had in mind but with less merchandizing options.
