Swadeshi Mandi Video

NITIE Mumbai has started the most reputed event, Maha Mandi. So here I present to you our video on Aligarh Taale. 

This video is to promote the local product and to encourage the local products with the motto of 'Vocal for Local'. In the video, we are promoting Locks of Aligarh . So the problem in Aligarh is that due to big industries, the local community is not getting the respect they deserve. So we  have come up with the idea to sell the locks through E-commerce platforms like Flipkart, Amazon etc

We don't have to create a new ecosystem,  just we have to capitalize on the existing ecosystem. In this way, the local and small players will get respect and profits they deserve.

The locks in Aligarh have the features that they are price is less compared to other locks and it is imperative to expand 'Aligarh Taale' to tier 2 and tier 3 cities. Also, I would like to give the credit to our Prof. T Prasad who came with this idea to encourage and promote our honorable Prime Minister's idea on 'AatmaNirbhar Bharat'. 

Please do share the video and blog as that will help the local communities to get the recognition.

MahaMandi

 In this Independence Day  we students from NITIE are celebrating this occasion in  an unique way by organizing Mandi in virtual mode! The idea was incubated by Mandi Sir to start promoting our honourable Prime Minister's idea of Atmanirbhar Bharat through local products with the slogan 'Vocal For Local'.

So me and my friend came up with the idea of promoting local product i.e Locks from Aligarh. The reason to select this product was that many people were not getting proper acknowledgement and value for their work. We promise a  good quality lock which is available at cheap rates as we skip big player of the game and directly deal with local manufacturers.

Keep looking the blogs as we will update more about Aligarh Locks.
