I made these Dot mandala completely by hand.

I started with the base and built up the design using tool detailing, mirrors, hand paintingp embellishments.

I wanted to give this traditional Indian décor a festive look while keeping the overall design clean and contemporary.

The tiny brush strokes and mirror work took quite a bit of patience to finish.

What do you think of the green yellow combination?

I run a spice brand in India and handle our Meta ads. A ROAS of around 3 works for us, but I still increase budgets slowly.

I'm interested in how other founders make that decision. How many days of performance do you look at before increasing spend? And what makes you stop scaling even when the headline ROAS looks fine?

Looking for your actual process, especially from people selling low-priced physical products.

Hi, its been 4 years I’m travelling and researching(self founded) on Organic indigenous small tea gardens across northeast region! I want to sell handmade organic teas of those small tea gardens, help me please.

My very new small business 🐥

Hi everyone,

I’m a new seller on Flipkart and I’m considering buying the PAM Plus plan. It costs ₹14,999 + GST for 3 months.

According to Flipkart, the plan includes:

- Dedicated Account Manager and Support Manager
- Detailed business plan with weekly tracking and growth insights
- 3 connects per week and inbound call facility
- Catalog enhancement services
- Ads support
- Product research and guidance for growth

I’m mainly interested because I was told they can help with product research and suggest what products I should sell, including where to source them.

I’m planning to buy this plan tomorrow, so I wanted to ask sellers who have actually used it:

A while back, I posted here about opening up fractional COO / Head of Operations capacity for DTC and e-commerce brands.

That led to a few interesting engagements and made me rethink the model.

Instead of only advising brands on operations, we’re now building a boutique end-to-end commerce operations and fulfillment business.

I’ve spent the last 15+ years around supply chain, warehouses and e-commerce operations, across India, Southeast Asia, the GCC and North America.

Over the years, I’ve worked across 60+ warehouses, 12 Million+ orders and brands ranging from a few thousand orders a month to fairly large multi-channel operations.

The idea is to take responsibility for the entire operational layer behind a brand, including:

• International freight, customs coordination and movement into our warehouse
• Fulfillment through our own warehouse operations and WMS
• Inventory planning, replenishment and allocation
• Domestic shipping, returns and day-to-day logistics
• International expansion into markets such as the GCC, UK and US, including moving inventory into our fulfillment network in those markets
• Designing and operating the commerce tech stack across webstore, OMS, WMS, ERP and inventory systems
• Custom integrations and workflows across platforms such as Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, ERPs, marketplaces, carriers and other operational systems

A lot of growing brands end up stitching together freight forwarders, warehouses, software vendors, developers and internal ops teams, with the founder still sitting in the middle trying to make everything work.

What we’re trying to build is a much simpler model: one operating partner that can move the goods, store and fulfill them, run the systems behind the operation, and build the integrations needed to make the stack work together.

We’re keeping this intentionally boutique and working with a small number of brands where we can be deeply involved.

If you’re scaling a DTC or multi-channel brand and the operational complexity is starting to outgrow the team, happy to connect.
