Shopping with kids and for kids can be tiresome. Not only are they spoilt for choice, but also having to cajole them into making a budget-friendly one can be a task. And then there are the annual school requirements, ranging from the school bag to stationery and textbooks. Online shopping portal Allschoolstuff[.com] hopes to ease at least some of the strain.
"As a parent, I suffered a lot trying to source my children's school requirements," says Manoj Chandra, CEO and co-founder of the site. "I had to run to different places for requirements, including a shoe store, textbook shop and the general store for a tiffin box."
Manoj says he also realised that the trek to each of these places was not cost-effective either. "When a child needs a 50-paise map, you end up spending more on your travel to the store," he explains. Therefore, in order to fill the gap for a one-stop-shop for all school-related requirements, Manoj and his partner founded Allschoolstuff.com in September 2011. Four months later, they now offer over 15,000 products.
