I Just Love the Limelight - Urvashi Sahay

We grab a glass of the finest champagne and make ourselves comfortable in the corner of what Urvashi describes as the largest catamaran on the Indian shores at the moment. And as the sight of the iconic gateway of India fades in the backdrop, we take a sip of the delicious bubbly before we indulge in a long chat. For Urvashi Sahay, founder and CEO of one of India’s premiere luxury lifestyle websites, an evening of indulgence is but a way of life.

“I do not want to wait till I retire to enjoy the finer things in life. My husband and I work really hard and believe in a bit of indulgence once in a while,” she says. But the entrepreneur hopes to share the experience with many more and hence the birth of Excluzen.com. The website is purely sinful. From private yacht parties and wine tasting sessions to a luxury spa escape, the website gives one a taste of luxury at the click of a button. Living by the motto of work hard and party harder, Urvashi has toured the world seeking fun and adventure. The vineyards of Italy, France and New Zealand are her favourites.

After working for a telecom company in London for 15 years, Urvashi is now the senior director of a similar company in Singapore. Based largely out of Singapore, Urvashi started the website with her husband Anupam Sahay. The thought, she says, struck her on her 40th birthday. “I closed my eyes and I thought to myself, what is it that I really want? I have wanted to start something of my own for the longest time and decided that this was the moment.” Describing the experience of branching out on one’s own she says, “Working for someone is like being an animal in a zoo. You’re caged, cared for and fed from time to time. But branching out is like being an animal in the jungle. You’re free, but constantly at the risk of being attacked.”

Apart from having sharp business acumen, Urvashi has her eyes on politics, much like the rest of her family. The daughter of the current Uttarakhand Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna and grand daughter of ex-UP chief minister Hemwati Bahuguna, Urvashi does not dismiss a future in a similar realm. “I just love the limelight,” she jokes, adding, “My entire family including my grand mother and aunt have been members of the Parliament and to be honest, I have always had an inclination to follow them,” she says.

A multi-tasker herself, Urvashi believes work-family balance is a myth. “Anyone who says so is lying. One can take care of one baby at a time,” she says, referring to her work.An understanding partner can however make all the difference, she adds. But for now, Urvashi is blissfully juggling her roles as a mother, entrepreneur and a corporate.

Online Retail In India – How Long before the Boom goes Bust?

This year India has seen a large number of new online retail brands entering in the market with new brands coming up every month. While some brands focuses on the niche verticals, there are others who are catering product portfolio from a wide array of verticals targetting upper-middle class and rich sections of society through premium products and affordable luxury. Recently launched Excluzen, India’s premier lifestyle destination is one among those catering to a highly targeted audience.

Being named after two principles that even Steve Jobs would have appreciated, Exclusivity + Zen, it adheres to it completely delivering the best that life has to offer to its customers. World’s finest brands such as Apple, Bang & Olufsen, Tag Heuer, Omega, Just Cavalli etc in addition to the special tailor made experiences for it’s customers. Excluzen aims to give a new twist to online retail in India with a business model that has high barriers to entry and caters to a highly targeted audience.

Delhi Planet caught up with Urvashi to ask her a few questions about Excluzen and how she plans to make it stand out from the clutter of online retail start-ups in India.

DelhiPlanet: What’s the inspiration behind Excluzen? How does it set itself apart from the plethora of e-commerce sites that are springing up in India making the market hyper-competitive?

Urvashi: The concept behind Excluzen is based on the fact that we weren’t able to find good answers to simple questions such as; Why aren’t Indians able to easily access the world’s best brands? Why can’t one enjoy the same quality in Delhi or Chandigarh as in Singapore or London? Why can’t the young and successful emerging India enjoy new experiences and live life to the fullest?

Our focus at Excluzen is on delighting members with wonderful, exclusive experiences and products from India’s and the world’s leading providers. We offer superior quality at sensible prices to an upmarket audience – across 12 categories that include travel, gadgets, parties, fashion, adventure, and more. We believe we are filling a distinct gap in the Indian marketplace.

This is a wholly different proposition from the mass-market or coupon space, which is where the bulk of competitors in India are slugging it out. Our simple goal is to bring luxuries and premium experiences within the reach of the aspirational Indian.

DelhiPlanet: Who is your target audience and how you do plan to make the Excluzen brand resonate with them, given the massive advertising spends that some of the other players in the market are currently doing?

Urvashi: Anyone with an eye for the finer experiences in life will enjoy Excluzen. Our focus is on differentiation – to bring wonderful and exclusive experiences and products to our members.

We watch the advertising spend of some players with amusement. It reminds us of the dot-com boom in 2000, when a lot of money chased some questionable business models.

DelhiPlanet: Excluzen set up shop in India only in January 2012, what are some of the major challenges that the business has faced so far?

Urvashi: The infrastructure for doing business in India is still very difficult remains relative to many other countries. For example, it takes 24 hours to incorporate a company in Singapore, in India that process can take months. Similarly, banks can activate accounts within days elsewhere, while here it takes weeks. Many forms of payment – such as Paypal or card-not-present transactions are not permitted. So these basic infrastructural things take more time and attention than they deserve.

At the outset it does seem that business models such as those of Excluzen have a higher chance of success, than non-differentiated clones. However, there is one important factor that e-tail brands in India should remember; “Brand Matters”. Consumers who spend money to purchase goods online only do so with brands and sites that they trust, which not only offer great products but also great customer service. In the US people don’t think twice before making a purchase online at Amazon, the Apple Store, Zappos and other reputed brands. These e-tail giants pay great attention to detail and have spent years trying to perfect their supply-chain and CRM processes. Any new enterprises in e-tail in India and elsewhere should always keep this in mind before deciding to join the bandwagon for the sake of it.

'Save on Stays' - ET Wealth

Let's start with the obvious - B&Bs, serviced apartments and homestays will always score over hotels when it comes to the more-for-less stakes. That is, more amenities that you actually need, like a kitchenette and free laundary facilities, for fewer bucks. Portals such as TripAdvisor.com, MyGuestHouse.com, HomeAway.com, BedAndBreakfast.com and Roomwale.com are your best bets to fish out such accomodations. Here's a good way to maximise your savings without entirely giving up on some luxurious pampering. Choose self-catering options in the big cities and go for fancier hotels in smaller towns and offbeat destinations. So, while five-star hotels in Indore will be obviously cheaper than those in Mumbai, there is also a big price difference like Alleppey and Kumarakom. For instance, three star hotels in the latter start at Rs. 2,625  on MakeMyTrip, the same category hotels in Alleppey (or Alappuzha) can be booked for just Rs. 1000 a night. The famed houseboat cruises from Alleppey are comparitively cheaper as well. Similarily, your money will fetch far better room in Vincennes than in Paris, yet it is just a short metro ride away from all the must -see attractions.

The travel-on-a-budget bible also tells us to always book directly with the hotel to land the best deals, be it straight discount or some freebies (a spa treatment or airport transfers). But don't blindly follow this cardinal rule. Sometimes, portals beats the rates listed on individual hotel reservation sites in an attempt to woo eyeballs. Excluzen.com, India's premier luxury lifestyle website is offering a straight discount of Rs 5000 on the per night quoted by the Oberoi Udaivilas reservation engine. So, always shop around before contacting the hotel.

‘Posh & Pampered Turn to the Web’ - The Sunday Times

When personal golf champion start selling online, it implies two things. One, Indians aren't afraid of spending online. Two, they expect to be pampered in the virtual world, too. Dhamini Ratnam on exclusivity the Internet isn't known for.

On the weekend before Valentine's day, 30-year-old Susan Das surprised her partner with air tickets to Goa. On landing, she took him to a five-star hotel inPanaji, where they spent three languid days. A business developer in a Mumbai salon, Das even indulged in a massage that came complimentary, because she had bought the package online.

 

Excluzen.com, a three-monthold luxury website, offers its members travel packages with complimentary sops. For instance, a two-night stay at the Galaxy Hotel in Gurgaon not only costs 7,000 lesser, but also includes unlimited usage of Internet, two complimentary drinks at the bar, and 15 per cent discount on food and spa treatment. All are limited offers, and a digi clock ticks away on the site.

But what is interesting is that Das's trip to Goa wasn't available on the website. The site's call centre located in New Delhi developed one especially for her, within a budget of 20,000, as requested.

Welcome to India's emerging 'exclusive websites'. Portals like Excluzen, offer high-end products and rare services to an audience that has grown comfortable spending large sums of money online.

A report released two weeks ago titled, E-commerce: A boon for the current economic downturn by First Data Corporation and ICICI Merchant Services, says that urban Indian consumers are confident enough to make online purchases up to 25,000 at a time. What's more, nearly 150 million Indian Internet users are estimated to be ready for ecommerce, an industry currently pegged at US $10 billion according to a report by the Internet and Mobile Association of India.

   

With such comfort, however, comes great expectation, admits Urvashi Sahay, the founder of Excluzen. The website offers products across categories: artworks by Vietnamese artists; gadgets like the iPhone 4OS; and services such as one-on-one golfing sessions with Asian Gold medallist Shiv Kapur that cost anywhere between 2 and 6 lakh, depending on location, and duration. Customers can pay cash on delivery. Later this month, they will also get to pay through e q u at e d monthly installments (EMIs).

What Sahay is doing flies in the face of what French branding expert Jean-Noel Kapferer wrote in The Luxury Strategy, published last year. He contends that any product sold online ceases to be a luxury item, since "the personal relationship disappears quickly. But many customers, who have been buying iPhone, luxury watches, designer clothes and many other luxury goods from excluzen!, would disagree. The website has been treating every customer as a special customer with a specific need. Such experiences force us to believe that time has come to turn on the web for exclusivity.
