[India] 24HoursLoot is India’s Woot
Woot.com is famous in the US for selling a new item everyday at discounted prices. 24HoursLoot.com is a similar website which caters to the Indian market. 24HoursLoot is a Pune based startup which provides with a new item everyday at deep discounted price online. The company provides shipping of products to anywhere in India.
The items which get featured on 24HoursLoot range from T-Shirts, Toys, Electronic Products to Furniture and more. A new item is released every midnight at 12AM Indian standard time, seven days a week. If an item sells out during its run (i.e. for next 24 hours), a new item will not appear until the next release time.
The website doesnt require any signup. You can simply select the product and buy it online at 24HoursLoot without any signup or registration.
24HoursLoot also has a exchange policy. A 15 days period is valid for you to return/exchange your order. The exchange policy is valid only in a situation where 24hoursLoot has delivered an item of incorrect size, color or design. Under such circumstances, the shipping costs for resending the item shall be borne by 24hoursLoot.
In my opinion, this is a niche when it comes to Indian e-Commerce market. The real challenge which the startup will have to face is the demand generation. If 24HoursLoot is able to generate enough demand for the products, am sure there will be many sellers waiting to get hold of cool products for great discounted price.
All the best 24HoursLoot.

Wow..neat stuff. Always wanted a website like this in India. Unfortunately, i see a T-Shirt deal on it today
. Wish they sell more of gadgets like woot 
You are right Vaibhav, the biggest issue with such websites is always with Demand Generation. By any chance do you have the contact information of the guys behind 24HoursLoot?
Is there a way by which we can express our demand? Like if i want them to come up with a deal on some furniture (24hoursloot deal for furniture?), can i push that to them somehow?
Amit, Payal:
Am not aware of any direct email address of the guys behind 24HoursLoot, however, i believe you can post to them on Twitter / Facebook / by leaving a comment on the webpage of 24HoursLoot .Hope this helps.

Jai here, I am one of the founders. You can contact me at info@24hoursloot.com for any query.
Amit,
We have a section on homepage (scroll down in right hand section), where we ask
“Suggest an item, you want us to sell”
This way we get an idea as what users are looking for.
All, in order to build up the confidence in our quality product and also promote it we are giving away 25 Free t-shirts. Read more at http://bit.ly/btx7gy
