How ‘FindYogi’ helps you attain ‘Inner Peace’ While Making a Purchase Online

Russel Peters was right. We are a nation of cheap bastards and we are proud of it. From the ‘Kitna Deti hai’ to squeezing a toothpaste tube till it screams ‘bloody murder’, we tend to be extremely frugal. Indians are not impulsive buyers. We perform an in-depth research analysis taking into account the depreciation rate, current economic state, salvage value and other sh** before buying anything. Anything!

In the pre-ecommerce era – If a person bought a good and later realized that it was available at a lesser rate elsewhere or a chaeper alternative existed , they would curse themselves for not waiting. The e-commerce era is no different. People get pissed if they find a better or cheaper alternative elsewhere – the typical buyer’s remorse.

This is exactly where FindYogi comes in. They help you avoid making bad decisions while buying Mobiles,Tablets and Laptops! They are currently expanding the categories they offer.
