Portal for collective buying

By Our Staff Reporter

CHENNAI, JULY 26. When buyers across the country aggregate their orders, their bargaining power goes up. Enter BuyAsOne.com, a business-to-consumer e-commerce portal. This site belongs to the Bangalore-based Synesis Online and promises to provide the right platform for group buying. Simply put, the portal will facilitate better deals with manufacturers.

Launching the online shopping portal here, Ms. Hema Parameswaran, Chief Executive Officer of BuyAsOne.com, said the site would bring individual buyers in far-flung places closer and get them to buy collectively. Unlike other portals, BuyAsOne.com was not in the eyeballs game. It was based on a strong revenue and commerce models and would certainly be a long-term player, she claimed.
