  1. Please throw light on your organization, its mission, and its vision.

Ans – Paxcom’s founding team took its plunge into eCommerce in 2011 through an ambitious foray into omnichannel retail. The omnichannel technology was built to empower us for seamless growth across our D2C website – Mirchimart, and 11 physical locations to be a pioneer in D2C and eCommerce in India. Mirchimart was also one of the first few sellers that Amazon onboarded when we started our business in India. We also won the award for being the largest seller in the electronics category on the Flipkart marketplace in 2014.

This early exposure to e-commerce enabled us to recognize the sector’s potential in India. Consumer brands were taking their first steps in this direction, but there was a significant gap in understanding of how it worked and how to best use it. There was a need for expert advice and technical solutions to assist brands in accelerating digital sales and making intelligent, data-driven decisions. Paxcom was created to meet this need. Kinator, a SaaS-based business intelligence, and data analytics platform was the first solution we developed, allowing brands and sellers to track, measure, and audit their eCommerce presence, and provide insights for day-to-day and strategic decisions.

Over the last decade, we have continued to evolve and grow alongside our clients’ ever-changing needs, becoming a full-service strategic solution provider for e-commerce and Omnichannel retail, adding numerous services and solutions along the way.

In 2019, Paxcom became a part of the Paymentus group – a leading global paperless electronic billing and payment solution, ranked by Deloitte to be amongst the fastest-growing North American companies.

  1. While it’s difficult to make predictions, what according to you is the future of India’s eCommerce, at least in the next 12-18 months?

Ans- The Indian eCommerce industry has come a long way since its inception and is seeing an upward growth trajectory with every passing day. According to IBEF, the Indian eCommerce industry is expected to surpass the US to become the second-largest eCommerce market in the world by 2034. We strongly believe that technology enablers like digital payments, hyper-local logistics, analytics-driven customer engagement, and digital advertisements will facilitate growth in this sector in times to come. Further, growth in the eCommerce sector will boost employment opportunities, increase revenues from foreign exports, increase tax collection by ex-chequers, and provide better products and services to customers in the long run.
