The Indian company promises big discounts (some reaching 90%) and easy buying options such as EMI on credit and debit cards, exchange offers and buy-now-pay-later.

The sale will have offers on a range of products from smartphones, tablets, laptops, PCs, air conditioners, washing machines, refrigerators, apparel, fashion accessories, personal care, among others.
