02About

About BombayBazaar

BombayBazaar is the commerce brand in the Stucare ecosystem. It is a curated gifting and lifestyle store for girls and women, and its storefront is live at bombaebazaar.com. The catalogue covers jewellery, scrunchies, hair accessories, skincare, accessories, home decor, gift hampers, surprise gift boxes and clothing.

The store is organised around occasions as much as around departments. Buying a birthday present, choosing something for a festival and restocking everyday accessories are three different tasks, and the platform carries dedicated festival categories and a gift quiz so each one has its own route through the catalogue.

Behind the storefront sits a wider platform. BombayBazaar supports a multi-seller marketplace with seller onboarding, commissions and payouts; live auctions with bid chances; a coins loyalty currency; AR try-on; anonymous gifting with personalised notes; a scroll-and-shop feed; coupons; and the standard wishlist, cart, checkout and orders path. Orders above ₹499 ship free.

These are capabilities present in the platform. No claim is made here about how many people use them, how many sellers have onboarded or how many orders have been placed, because none of those figures have been verified.

03Problem and response

Why it exists

The problem

Gifting is a search problem before it is a shopping problem. The buyer usually knows the person and the occasion but not the product, and a catalogue arranged by category answers a question they are not asking.

Small independent sellers in the same categories face the mirror image of that problem. They have stock and no storefront, no payment plumbing and no route to a buyer who is already looking for a gift.

The response

BombayBazaar answers the buyer's side with occasion-led discovery. A gift quiz narrows the catalogue by recipient and occasion, festival categories group seasonal stock, a scroll-and-shop feed makes browsing continuous, and AR try-on lets a shopper preview an item before committing. Anonymous gifting with personalised notes covers the case where the sender does not want to be named.

It answers the seller's side with a multi-seller marketplace. Sellers onboard onto the platform, list stock, and are settled through configured commissions and payouts, so an independent seller reaches gift buyers without building any of the infrastructure themselves.

Live auctions and a coins loyalty currency sit alongside both. Auctions run in real time with bid chances, and Bombae Coins give the platform a currency of its own to work with. Orders above ₹499 ship free.

04Capabilities

Inside BombayBazaar

Storefront

The catalogue and the path from browsing to a placed order.

  • Curated product catalogue

    Jewellery, scrunchies, hair accessories, skincare, accessories, home decor, gift hampers, surprise gift boxes and clothing, organised for gifting and everyday buying.

  • Wishlist and cart

    Shoppers can save items to a wishlist for later and hold a working cart across a session.

  • Checkout and payments

    Checkout is handled in-platform with Razorpay as the payment gateway. Orders above ₹499 ship free.

  • Order history and tracking

    Placed orders are recorded against the shopper's account so they can be reviewed after purchase.

Marketplace

Multi-seller listing, onboarding and settlement.

  • Multi-seller marketplace

    The platform supports more than one seller listing stock in the same catalogue rather than a single-brand inventory.

  • Seller onboarding

    A defined route for a new seller to register, be set up on the platform and start listing products.

  • Commissions and payouts

    Seller settlement is built in, with commission handling on sales and a payout path back to the seller.

Auctions

Real-time bidding on selected lots.

  • Live auctions

    Selected lots run as live auctions, with bidding synchronised across participants in real time over Socket.IO.

  • Bid chances

    Auction participation is metered through bid chances, which govern how a shopper takes part in a live lot.

Loyalty

The platform's own currency and discount mechanics.

  • Bombae Coins

    A coins loyalty currency held in the shopper's account and spent inside the platform.

  • Coupons and discount codes

    Coupon codes can be issued and applied at checkout against eligible orders.

Gifting

Tools for buying on someone else's behalf.

  • Gift quiz

    A short guided quiz that narrows the catalogue by recipient and occasion instead of asking the buyer to browse categories.

  • Anonymous gifting with personalised notes

    A gift can be sent without revealing the sender, with a personalised written note attached to the order.

Discovery

How shoppers find products they were not searching for.

  • Scroll-and-shop feed

    A continuous product feed built for browsing, so discovery does not depend on a search query.

  • Festival categories

    Seasonal collections group the catalogue by festival so occasion buying has its own entry point.

  • AR try-on

    Augmented-reality preview lets a shopper see how an item looks before ordering it.

05Who it is for

Who BombayBazaar is built for

  • Shoppers buying gifts

    Buyers who know the recipient and the occasion but not the product. The gift quiz, festival categories, gift hampers, surprise gift boxes and anonymous gifting with personalised notes are built for that starting point.

  • Sellers listing on the marketplace

    Independent sellers in jewellery, accessories, skincare, home decor and related categories who want a storefront, payments and a settlement path without building them. Onboarding, commissions and payouts are handled by the platform.

  • Gifting occasions

    Occasion-driven buying is routed through dedicated festival categories and the gift quiz. THE FESTIVAL AND OCCASION CATEGORIES CURRENTLY LIVE ON THE STOREFRONT
