Dropshipper
Seller on eBay.in
-
When I was working on my Electric Skateboard project, I figured out that some of the RC components are available at cheaper rates in the foreign market compared to the Indian market. So I saw a huge opportunity to distribute those components at much more affordable rates.
​
-
As I was aware of how the dropshipping network works, I decided to start a business named "export-mall".
​
-
With an investment of $100, I earned a profit of $600, which is not a great deal. Due to the introduction of complex GST taxation and academic pressure, I had to shut it down at a very early stage.
