When you visited our site, what was on your mind? Where you here with some great expectations? Or did you underestimate us? Whatever the case may be, we shall never know but that doesn’t mean we wouldn’t appreciate the opportunity to allow you, our customers to get to know us on our grounds and not get side tracked by secondary opinions or gospel.
First of all, we, “Clarastar” are an e-commerce online facility. A niche and oddball of a e-commerce facility to be exact. Officially speaking though, Clarastar is an offbeat e-commercial websitewhich deals with niche markets along withgeneral merchandising.Our proceedings consist of a comprehensiveapproach to customer demand managementand this includes Sourcing, Trading,Wholesale, Import, Export, Retail, Logistics,Supply Chain and much more.
Our business was founded in the year of 2016by two Indian women entrepreneurs, FaridaGadhia and Sabina Bhayani.Now, we know what you might be thinking, thatsounds quite normal, doesn’t it? However, thefact alone that Clarastar deals with both nicheas well as general merchandising truly sets itapart from the rest of the thousands andthousands of e-commercial websites active today in India. The range of our products varyfrom the smallest tidbits to everyday use items.And the variety of the items are quitefiguratively as different as Chalk and Cheese!
We are one of the first Indian e-commerceorganizations to launch this kind of a specificvariety of products and we are quite proud ofthat fact. More amazing products are expected to arrive soon at your disposal. We make extrasure that the quality of our products is nevercalled into question. Our products are ‘createdwith life in mind’, and by ‘life’ we mean theentire world’s life. A lot of effort and sweatgoes into the manufacture and procurement ofour products, first of all we have to researchthe markets for/of our products, mutual costbenefit in the trading of products is analyzedand we also check whether the personal andcompany focus align with each other favorablyor not. Although relatively still taking its babysteps into the online business world, Clarastarhas already cleared milestones uponmilestones.
Many of our clients may not know this but theword “Clarastar” itself has a special meaning.The name “Clara” is derived from the late latinname ‘Clarus’, which meant ‘clear, bright andfamous. Together with ‘Star’, the word“Clarastar” means a bright star shining in thesky clear for all to see and famed for itsotherworldly beauty; just how our organizationaims to become. Okay, maybe not known forour ‘otherworldly beauty’ but the rest of thesame. Also, did you know that the name“Clara” also stands for a person with anamazing sense of humor? Since, that name isusually used for women, the fact that ourbusiness was founded by two women is just ahappy coincidence.
While we are at it, why not explain some of theeccentricities or the complex stuff we spoke ofearlier here. For example, the word ‘Niche’what does it mean exactly? Well, Nichemarkets are those markets where a specifictype of products are sold. For example,Clarastar is a niche marketing website whichsells items not found on your usual walk to theBazaar. Things like Anti-radiation tools, GhostDetectors, Ultrasonic Dog Trainers, SweatProof Vests, Eco Detergents, Silver and Copperinfused apparel, Prayer Mats, Pets and theirgrooming items are products which can befound on our site. However, since we deal withgeneral merchandising as well; fragrances,perfumes, men’s apparel, Fast MovingConsumer Goods (FMCG) like OrganicAyurvedic Soaps, shampoos and hair oil. Itemsfor Home and Living as well as Health andPersonal Care can be found too. The conceptof niche marketing refers to the systematicefforts of any product or service manufacturerto occupy a specific place in the minds of thecustomer, through some big value addition. Another complex word comes to mind,“Customer Demand Management”; well, what does this one mean now? Basically, demandmanagement is a planning methodology usedto forecast, plan for and managethe demand for products and services. Thereare a set of defined processes, capabilities andrecommended behaviors for markets dealingwith customer demand management. Forexample, we at Clarastar manufacture orprocure products in response to customerdemands, feedback from these results of thedemand plans is fed back into the planningprocess to improve the predictability of ouroutcomes.
In an article written and later updated online byRicha Maheshwari in Economic Times onFebruary 26, 2016; it was said that Industrywatchers believe that unlike China that isdominated by a handful of etail giants, India’sonline shopping market will grow in a ‘moredemocratic’ manner, like it has in Europe. Theother vertical players like Clarastar are slowlybut surely rising to the top and changing thedynamics of the e-commerce industry in India.We have started nibbling at the national grossmarket shares and that’s a hopeful sign.

We don’t ‘believe’anything’s possible, we ‘know’ already thatthat’s the case because; they say that sky’s thelimit, we say its our point of view.Hoping you find here what you are looking forbecause we aim to find the unconventionalityin you.
