πŸ“ Pune Discovery Box Edition 01

DiscoverPune logo

A curated monthly box of local finds from Pune 🎁

Six products. Six local brands. One box that gets real samples into your hands, so you can try before you commit to full-size.

Built by six T.Y. B.Com students who were tired of local makers staying invisible, and shoppers defaulting to the same big brands.

β‚Ή499, Edition 01

πŸ”€ Two sides of the same gap

Pune makes excellent things. Finding them, and getting them into new hands, is still harder than it should be.

πŸ›οΈ Consumers

Hard to find good local brands

  • Most people keep buying the same big brands they already know.
  • Small local brands rarely show up on Instagram feeds or major e-commerce.
  • Trying something new usually means buying a full-size pack blind.
  • Personal, local gifting options are limited.

πŸͺ Local brands

Hard to reach new customers

  • Low awareness outside their immediate circle.
  • Limited marketing budgets and high acquisition costs.
  • Heavy dependence on Instagram and WhatsApp alone.
  • Difficulty getting products into new hands for trial.
Curated craft gift box and maker goods

πŸ—ΊοΈ How Edition 01 works

A simple two-sided loop. Brands get trial. You get discovery.
